UnCommander Rulings
The “full text” of an object consists of the text that represents its name, mana cost, color indicator, type line, rules text, power, toughness and loyalty. See 612.5. in the official Comprehensive Rules.
Cards like Dr Julius Jumblemorph that have an ability that makes them all creature types will not trigger Acornelia’s first ability when cast (Although they will give Acornelia acorn counters when they enter the battlefield). The first ability only cares about the words in the text on the card, as modified by any text-changing effects. Characteristic-defining abilities like changeling, that grant an object creature types that are not in its text, do not add text to its type line.
Acornelia’s first ability has been changed in errata from looking for squirrels in illustrations to looking for squirrels in a spell’s full text. This was done because illustrations can vary from card to card, and UnCommander tries to avoid different printings of a card having different functionality. In most cases, Acornelia behaves similarly with the change. However, it is not a perfect translation. There are a few functional differences, such as Acorn Catapult triggering Acornelia’s ability when cast, despite not showing any squirrels in its printing’s illustration. Might of Oaks is another example, where its text does not mention squirrels, despite its Urza’s Legacy printing illustration showing a squirrel.
