A changer of ways
So if something is a creature type then the most obvious effect is every changeling becomes that type and everything that lets you name a creature type would let you name that new type. Basic lands are a special case, because just having the type is one gives it the ability to tap for mana. So if forest was a creature type, than every changeling would be able to tap for mana.
Shrines have a similar thing in that a lot of the old Kamigawa shrine cards do things per shrine you control, this would change how changelings interact with them. Similarly if equipment became a creature type than Stoneforge Mystic would be able to put any Changelings in your hand into play.

Depends on how many payoffs there are, probably. If you pack every single "when x attacks alone" into the same deck, maybe it's good, maybe it's not.

Exalted is a similar sort of ability and used to do some work in competitive decks but it was more like you load up your deck with value creatures who incidentally have Exalted so you can use it in a pinch to punch though at strategic moments.

I get that, but why does it matter if forest becomes a creature type? If forest were a creature type, and I played engineered plague and chose forest as a creature type to give all forest creatures -1/-1, why would it matter except in cases where your forests also happened to be creatures? Also, all cards that I can think of that specify something like creature type also specify that the effect only happens to creatures where it would matter, so that that layer of security to prevent craziness is built in the card text themselves.

The biggest reason not to do this is that some subtypes have rules associated with them that simply won't work if you make day, changelings, these subtypes.
Channeling mountains would tap for red.
Ongoing changelings would.... I dunno do something?
Not to mention this would complicate all cards which change land types now needing to also add an ability.

I agree with Seth here. It is not at all clear from the card that this creature has no type and unless you happen to know specifically shrine is an enchantment type you would never play this correctly.
Seth is farming you for engagement and I assure you he's both played a shrine deck and knows they weren't creatures.

These cards do not say "search for an x card" they say "search for an x creature card" because they are still x creature cards even if they are not on the battlefield.

They specify 'creature cards' as a policy to stop unintended interactions with Tribal, before that they didn't bother. The two effects are functionally different. In the deck they are X creature cards but they are not creatures.

E: Amusingly, 'perpetually' isn't in the comp rules.

Lone Goat is right though. 109.2a says that it must match the description. So if it says "Goblin Creature Card" then it must fetch a card that is both a goblin and a creature. If it says "Goblin Card" then in only has to fetch a card that is a goblin.

I don't even think you two are disagreeing.

Mainly they go out of their way to say "[type] creature card" or "[type] permanent card" if the ability puts the searched card into play so you don't have Tribal Changeling instants in play, but it's up in the air if the card isn't going into play. If it goes to your hand sometimes you'll get "[type] creature card", like the ones I posted above, and sometimes you'll just get "[type] card" like on Forerunner of the Legion.

That's what it was. For a while the policy was to always specify, at some point they decided they're really never making more Tribal so they stopped specifying, but anything that puts in onto the battlefield needs to be backwards compatible. Technically they don't have to specify, if an instant or sorcery tries to enter the battlefield nothing happens, but better to make trying an illegal action than enable rules lawyers.

Alright, I found what I was thinking of. For a while they said "X creature" on things like Goblin Chieftain but stopped that (ref: Hobgoblin Bandit Lord). From forerunner of the legion there I assume this carries over to any templating where its deemed not to matter.

Ref: MaRo, and I think it was mentioned in the rules update at the time too.

The comparison of the samurai mechanic to Exalted is similar but ultimately the reason that Exalted worked back when Alara was in standard was that it had some absolute powerhouse cards with the mechanic. Noble Heirarch, Qasali Pridemage, and Rafiq of the Many were all insanely good creatures especially for the time. There was also Last Hour. None of the samurai spoiled so far are anywhere near that level.
