is a werewolf considered a wolf? magic

[Mountain]

Is a Werewolf also considred to be a Wolf?

for example, If I control watchwolf and the terror of kruin pass, and I cast distant melody choosing wolf as the creature type, would I draw 2 cards or 1 card?

[Footprint]

i think arix said that if a creature is an artifact creature and then it is both an artifact and a creature and that if a card is mutlicolored then it is all the colors like if its blue/red then it is blue and also red so based on that a werewolf is both a human and a wolf (well not sure about the human part but pretty sure about the wolf part)

[Arix]

Nope. Werewolf and Wolf are two different creature types.

[Jake1991]

Nope. Werewolf and Wolf are two completely different creature types.

Edit: Heh. Posted nearly the same time.

[Arix]

And with nearly the exact same words.

Huh.

[Footprint]

how come a werewolf is not considered a wolf? that doesnt make sence

[Arix]

Because it's not. It's just that simple.

[Footprint]

where can I see the official rules for this in the rulebook?

[Arix]

There aren't any, because there doesn't need to be. Here's the closest you're going to find:

205.3m. Creatures and tribals share their lists of subtypes; these subtypes are called creature types. The creature types are Advisor, Ally, Angel, Anteater, Antelope, Ape, Archer, Archon, Artificer, Assassin, Assembly-Worker, Atog, Aurochs, Avatar, Badger, Barbarian, Basilisk, Bat, Bear, Beast, Beeble, Berserker, Bird, Blinkmoth, Boar, Bringer, Brushwagg, Camarid, Camel, Caribou, Carrier, Cat, Centaur, Cephalid, Chimera, Citizen, Cleric, Cockatrice, Construct, Coward, Crab, Crocodile, Cyclops, Dauthi, Demon, Deserter, Devil, Djinn, Dragon, Drake, Dreadnought, Drone, Druid, Dryad, Dwarf, Efreet, Elder, Eldrazi, Elemental, Elephant, Elf, Elk, Eye, Faerie, Ferret, Fish, Flagbearer, Fox, Frog, Fungus, Gargoyle, Germ, Giant, Gnome, Goat, Goblin, Golem, Gorgon, Graveborn, Gremlin, Griffin, Hag, Harpy, Hellion, Hippo, Hippogriff, Homarid, Homunculus, Horror, Horse, Hound, Human, Hydra, Hyena, Illusion, Imp, Incarnation, Insect, Jellyfish, Juggernaut, Kavu, Kirin, Kithkin, Knight, Kobold, Kor, Kraken, Lammasu, Leech, Leviathan, Lhurgoyf, Licid, Lizard, Manticore, Masticore, Mercenary, Merfolk, Metathran, Minion, Minotaur, Monger, Mongoose, Monk, Moonfolk, Mutant, Myr, Mystic, Nautilus, Nephilim, Nightmare, Nightstalker, Ninja, Noggle, Nomad, Octopus, Ogre, Ooze, Orb, Orc, Orgg, Ouphe, Ox, Oyster, Pegasus, Pentavite, Pest, Phelddagrif, Phoenix, Pincher, Pirate, Plant, Praetor, Prism, Rabbit, Rat, Rebel, Reflection, Rhino, Rigger, Rogue, Salamander, Samurai, Sand, Saproling, Satyr, Scarecrow, Scorpion, Scout, Serf, Serpent, Shade, Shaman, Shapeshifter, Sheep, Siren, Skeleton, Slith, Sliver, Slug, Snake, Soldier, Soltari, Spawn, Specter, Spellshaper, Sphinx, Spider, Spike, Spirit, Splinter, Sponge, Squid, Squirrel, Starfish, Surrakar, Survivor, Tetravite, Thalakos, Thopter, Thrull, Treefolk, Triskelavite, Troll, Turtle, Unicorn, Vampire, Vedalken, Viashino, Volver, Wall, Warrior, Weird, Werewolf, Whale, Wizard, Wolf, Wolverine, Wombat, Worm, Wraith, Wurm, Yeti, Zombie, and Zubera.

Bam, two separate creature types.

[Jake1991]

There's no specific rule stating that Werewolves aren't Wolves. They're two different creature types.

Just look at Howlpack Alpha:

Other Werewolf and Wolf creatures you control get +1/+1.

It mentions both because they aren't the same.
