This actually may be a bug. Since the copy effect doesn't copy the effect making the card a creature, I don't think it can have a creature subtype. I think this is supposed to be a Token Land--Forest Island.

I am not a judge though. Can someone who is confirm or deny?

Yeah, I think we've forgotten to mark Nightmare as a creature type. I'll fix it today. #wotc_staff

EDIT: Nope, Nightmare is indeed a creature type, but there's apparently something wrong in our application of copy-changes for subtypes. More fun to fix, I'd say!

As Filobel replies, the bug is that the land is a "Nightmare" - it should not be. When processing copy changes, we weren't verifying that the changed-subtype matches the new object's cardtypes. #wotc_staff
