Whenever an opponent casts a creature spell, this creature isn't a creature until end of turn.
If this creature would deal combat damage to a creature, prevent that damage and that creature's owner shuffles it into their library.

Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to Weeping Angel, newest first.
- If an opponent casts a creature spell with flash while Weeping Angel is attacking or blocking, it is removed from combat because it stops being a creature. However, any creatures that it was blocking are still considered blocked.
- Damage that is prevented never occurs, so any triggered abilities that trigger due to combat damage that would have been dealt by Weeping Angel won't trigger.
- As the first triggered ability of Weeping Angel resolves, it continues to be an artifact but will stop being both an Alien and an Angel until it becomes a creature again. It's just a statue, how dangerous could it be?
