So i have a Fire-Belly Changeling , because he is all creature types at all times, does this make him an artifact creature as well? Or is artifact not a creature type?

Basically what i'm saying is could my opponent play a Smelt against it?

Artifact is a card type, not a creature type.
You cannot Smelt Fire-Belly Changeling unless it somehow becomes an artifact.

I think the most awkward situation at the moment is simply the Myr Welder / Equipment / Licid / Aura craziness, but I'm pretty sure he's aware of it.

Dear Mage24365,

You are totally awesome. Thank you so much. I hope you are able to dine in Paradise without kicking the bucket to actually get there, and that every dollar you ever make magically becomes two more.

I don't think there are any cards like that.

There are things that prevent you from activating activated abilities, things that increase their cost, and things that counter them, but I don't think anything triggers from them specifically.

There are things that trigger from targeting, so that might be relevant, but I can't think of anything that triggers from targeting a player.

I'm almost positive there's nothing that triggers from damage being prevented.

To be precise, we should say «creature subtype» instead of «creature type».

205.3b Subtypes (...) are always single words and are listed after a long dash. (...) “Creature — Goblin Wizard” means the card is a creature with the subtypes Goblin and Wizard...


But then... 

205.3m Creatures and tribals share their lists of subtypes; these subtypes are called creature types.
