What the codes mean
The small print at the bottom of the Alliances card (#123).
Printed before collector numbers, which started with Exodus in 1998. The bottom shows only the artist credit ("Illus.") and the copyright. Set symbols were all black before Exodus, and core sets before Sixth Edition have none.

A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its
abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn’t matter how long the permanent has been a creature.2008-10-01
The ability’s effect has no duration. The affected land will remain an artifact, creature, and land until the game ends, it leaves the battlefield, or some other effect changes its types.
