UnCommander Rulings

The nonland permanent card types that can appear on permanents on the battlefield are artifact, creature, enchantment and planeswalker. Tribal is not a permanent type, as it can also appear on instants and sorceries. Legendary, host, snow and basic are supertypes, not permanent types.

Original text unclear whether the first ability takes effect when Vestigal Bomb enters the battlefield, or only when control of it is exchanged.

Added ‘nonland permanent type’ restrictions so the effect makes sense and follows the apparent design intent.
