Not entirely sure what I was thinking, to be honest. But it's a baseline, of some sort.

A zero drop 2/2 that can turn into a 2/2 for ?

Nope, all morphs cost 3.

So it's either flat-cast as a 2/2 artifact creature, or cast as a morph that you can flip (for no cost) into an artifact creature of the exact same size. Its artifactness (and myrness) is the only change.

­:) I'm sure it would be useful for something, for some "when a creature is turned face up" triggers, or surprisingly activating metalcraft, etc. Not much, but something :)

Well, if Stonework Puma was playable in draft, then this one probably is too. Although, this is effectively 100% worse than Proteus Machine...

Yeah, Proteus Machine was my first thought. There are also a few 1/1s and 1/2s with morph, which effectively get worse when unmorphed, although they usually have some odd upside, even if it's very situational like Foothill Guide or Riptide Biologist.

Didn't know that existed. Just wanted to put down a "Morphs can't really be allowed to be worse than this" and "Because morphs exist, colourless creatures can't be worse than this"
