Not sure how I'll be with time -- in addition to my work, I now have to worry about my Dad who's in hospital. I'm probably limited to making new cards for now.

I'm not sure whether SetTypes$ even works; the way The Scarab God is written, it removes existing creature types, replacing them with "Zombie" but I don't know how to write that correctly.
