You must choose a creature type, such as Elf or Shaman. You can't choose other card types such as artifact or supertypes such as legendary.

2021-06-18wotc

The player whose turn it is chooses a creature type first, followed by each other player in turn order. Then, all creature cards that have one or more of the chosen types are returned to the battlefield at the same time.

2021-06-18wotc

Any player may choose a creature type that's already been chosen. Doing so won't affect which creature cards are returned to the battlefield.
