Rulings

10/4/2004	When it turns into a creature, it is no longer an enchantment.
10/4/2004	It changes into a creature even if the spell is countered.
8/1/2008	A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
