Official rulings

Four official rulings apply to Rassilon, the War President, newest first.

  • If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
  • Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.
  • Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type.
  • You must pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for playing a card exiled this way. For example, you may play a land this way only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
