When this creature becomes monstrous, target land becomes an Island in addition to its other types.

What it does

Tagged as +1/+1 counters — the jobs the deck report counts it toward.

Official rulings

  1. The effect making the land an Island doesn't have a duration and will last indefinitely. The land retains any land types and abilities it already had. An Island has the ability “{T}: Add {U}.” (2013-09-15)
  2. Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous. (2013-09-15)
  3. An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves. (2013-09-15)
  4. Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens. (2013-09-15)
