Intrepid Paleontologist

Creature Type Choices

New • 01 Nov 2023 • Asked by llanowarminotaur • 38 Comments

The recently previewed Intrepid Paleontologist has Druid as its creature type. How does this fit in with the discussion about using the Scientist type on appropriate worlds? Was the decision that while "Paleontologist" is Ixalan-appropriate, "Scientist" is not? Or was the Druid type locked in before Scientist was available (and if so, how did the contemporaneous Jurassic Park cards have access to the type)?

It can take a while for the use of a creature type to get wider use because we work on a lot of products simultaneously.
