<p>I have a copy of <a href="https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=470589" rel="noreferrer">Greven, Predator Captain</a> that says his creature type is Human Warrior.

<p>to cast Greven, even though the card itself does not give him the Phyrexian sub-type?</p>

I have a copy of [Greven, Predator Captain](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=470589) that says his creature type is Human Warrior. I know that he is a Phyrexian in-lore, and the link says his creature type is Phyrexian Human Warrior. Does this mean that I could use mana generated by [The Seedcore](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=602789)'s second ability:

> {T}: Add one mana of any color. Spend this mana only to cast Phyrexian creature spells.

to cast Greven, even though the card itself does not give him the Phyrexian sub-type?
