Door of Destinies and shrines
Asked by TheCaptain6657 1 year ago
No other forums have an answer to this that I've seen. Building a Shrine deck and I wondered if Door of Destinies would trigger when I can a Shrine spell that isn't a creature, such as Sanctum of All if I chose Shrine spells as the trigger since it doesn't specify when you cast a creature spell of the chosen type, simply when you cast any spell of the chosen creature type. Thanks in advance for the help

The problem here is that Shrine isn't a creature type, it's an enchantment type. You won't be able to choose "Shrine" for Door of Destinies. The Shrine creatures (Go-Shintai of Shared Purpose, etc.) don't actually have any creature types, so Door won't be able to help them. I would have expected them to be Spirits but I guess it wouldn't fit on the type line.
Interactions like this will work for non-creature Tribal spells, like Bitterblossom, Tarfire etc. because the list of Tribal types is defined to be the same as the list of Creature types, so if you want to choose a Creature type that appears on one of your Tribal spells, you'll be allowed to do that (Door of Destinies was printed in a block of sets with a Tribal-type subtheme and this interaction was intentional).
