{G} • Enchantment — Saga • (As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after VI.) I, II, III, IV, V, VI — Note a creature type that hasn't been noted for Long List of the Ents. When you cast your next creature spell of that type this turn, that creature enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it. • The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth (LTR) #174 • Illustrated by Logan Feliciano • Magic: The Gathering, MTG

Newbie question, but suppose more than one player has a copy of [[Long List of the Ents]] on the battlefield. Can you note a creature type that has already been noted by an opponent?

    Note that the rules text doesn’t say “noted for ANY Long List of the Ents” it just says “Long List of the Ents”. A strict interpretation of the English concludes that each instance of the cards has its own "list:.

    This interpretation is supported by the Comprehensive rules as well. See here:

    201.5. Text that refers to the object it’s on by name means just that particular object and not any other objects with that name, regardless of any name changes caused by game effects.

    This is how cards normally function in Magic. See an exception that proves the rule: Cylian Sunsinger
