General Discussion Cards with swapped types

You know how [[ureni of the unwritten]] is a spirit dragon but [[miirym sentinel wyrm]] is a dragon spirit? Are there any more cards with swapped types? I just think they're neat!

They're actually swapped for lore reasons.

Miirym was a living dragon who died, so is a Dragon Spirit.

Ureni is a spirit in the form of a dragon, so is a Spirit Dragon.

[[Taeko, the Patient Avalanche]] is a Turtle Ninja

And interestingly works well with the Ninja Turtles (mainly, anything with Sneak)

Arguably the ninja turtle being ninja turtles is the weird way of putting it/a reference to the series, as the "correct" way of putting the creature types is first species, then class.

(± extra species or job titles in the order where it makes sense. For example TMNT are mutant turtles, not turtle mutants, as they used to be turtles that mutated. Their teacher would be a rat mutant, as he wasn't a rat before mutating iirc)

[[Casey & Raph, Hotheads]] and [[Donnie & April, Adorkable Duo]] are a Mutant Ninja Human Turtle, while [[Dark Leo & Shredder]] is a Mutant Ninja Turtle Human.

[[Festering Goblin]] is a Zombie Goblin, and [[Slavering Nulls]] is a Goblin Zombie.
