Naban + Changeling + Champion of the Parish
Asked by Quickspell 4 years ago
If, say, Mothdust Changeling enters the battlefield and triggers Champion of the Parish , am I correct to assume that Naban, Dean of Iteration will cause the Champion to trigger twice, because the changeling enters as both creature types? That's actually kind of self-explanatory, but I just want to make sure.

Also, the Changeling ability does not cause a creature to enter as all creature types. The changeling ability is a characteristic defining ability that makes the card all creature types at all times.
702.72a Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. “Changeling” means “This object is every creature type.” This ability works everywhere, even outside the game.

That is correct.
Mothdust Changeling has both human and wizard subtypes thanks to the Changeling ability. Champion of the Parish will trigger due to Mothdust Changeling being a human, and Naban, Dean of Iteration will cause Champion of the Parish to trigger twice due to Mothdust Changeling being a wizard. It is the same as if any other human wizard (like Prodigal Sorcerer ) entered the battlefield.
