Ok, everyone at the release event was talking about this.

Does it work with Changeling?

“Unfortunately, it does not work with Changeling creatures. The judges at the prerelease announced the problem with the timing or wording to make it Warriors only, no Changeling allowed. I still don't understand why it doesn't work, but I know that I can think of several ways to abuse it without Changeling creatures in Limited.”

That's a bunch of bull. There was some confusing about the counter lords working with Changelings (like Bramblewood Paragon), although they were supposed to work, they do work now and that has been cleared up in the new CR.

I've never heard anyone doubt whether or not those equipments attach and anyone worth there salt with rules would know that they attach just fine. It's a normal triggered ability and you don't check for triggered abilities until after you apply continuous effects like the Changeling ability.

An other question on Obsidian Battle-Axe

I have into play Amoeboid Changeling, so if a warrior come into play and i activate the Amoeboid ability that make it loses all creature types, the Axe fail to attach?

No, the Obsidian Battle-Axe will have already triggered by the time you play the Amoeboid Changeling ability.

That, when the triggered ability resolves, its no longer a Warrior is neither here nor there. You'll still be able to attach the Axe. It doesn't recheck the creature types.
