Artificial Evolution

Artificial Evolution Limit

Can Artificial Evolution target text that is technically a creature type but is used in a different context? I thought so, as long as it's not rules text or reminder text. I.E. can I use Artificial Evolution to change the text on Avatar of Me "Avatar of Me's color is the color of your ouphes?" And if so, would that now mean that if I had two Brown Ouphes in play, Avatar of Me would be Brown? And if I had a Faeburrow Elder in play and tap it, would I be "forced" to add one Brown Mana?

It can only change words being used in the context of being a creature type.

Artificial Evolution Mechanics

does using artificial evolution to make acornelia look for shapesifters make it trigger of of any art featuring a living creature?

No, to count as a shapeshifter, the art would have to show you shapeshifting in some way.

Hacking Acornelia Explored

Hacking Acornelia with Artificial Evolution (for example, changing "squirrel" by "human"), could it be considered as breaking Acornelia?

It’s a thing you can do. What art pictures a human can get a bit tricky as there are a lot of human-like other races.

Squirrellink Mechanic

how does Earl of Squirrels handle text changing effects that change creature types in rules text? for instance, if I cast Artificial Evolution to change "Squirrellink" to "piratelink", for instance, does it make black 2/2 menace pirate creatures, or does it make 1/1 green pirate creatures? in other words, does the ability "know" what tokens certain types get?

They will still be 1/1 green creatures, just with a different creature type.
