Question:

Hi Mark, laughing jasper flint is a lizard rather than a viashino, is viashino being phased out in favor of lizard? If so will older viashino be errata’d to match?

Answer:

The Viashino creature type has been changed to Lizard. The creatures are still Viashino from a flavor standpoint.

This follows their phasing out of Nagas to Snake

What do you think? Good move to simplify things or is removing creature types a step too far?

A sad day, as I love the Magic unique types.

And while Loxodon isn't a typed type... Viashino, Homarid, Cephalid... were.
Are all my homarids lobsters now? Cephalid squids or octopodes?

Why not roll Skeletons and zombies into undead? /oldman

Edit: but it does make them match Leonin and Loxodon. So consistent, I guess.
