Rulings (4)
- If you control multiple copies of A Killer Among Us, you may choose the same or different creature types for each one. Be careful to keep track of which type is chosen for each A Killer Among Us.
- A Killer Among Us's last ability can target any attacking creature token, not just one of the tokens created by its first ability, and not just one of the chosen type. Only a token of the chosen type will get the bonuses, though.
- There are several ways to secretly choose one of the creature types, including writing that type on a piece of paper that's kept with A Killer Among Us.
- Only the player who secretly chose the creature type can reveal the creature type they chose. If another player gains control of A Killer Among Us, they will be unable to activate its last ability.
