Nice card! What about Lumithread Field and Zoetic Cavern though?

Hmm - it's only revealed; so it's still a 2/2 morph creature - so the second part is still valid - and this enters play as a copy of a land or enchantment.

Seems like the wording should work! If it unmorphed it, that would probably be fiddlier.

Yep, if someone else has a Whetwheel face down and you choose to copy that morph with this, you'll get a Whetwheel. This is a pretty delightful variation on Clone.

The most potent use of it, of course, is turn 3 (or 2) huge morph like Akroma, Angel of Fury, then turn 4 this as a face-up Akroma.

If anyone in R&D has brought this up, I'm pretty sure Alex's interaction would kill the card way before they decide if it's cool or not. :P

What, because it gets a 6/6 with Abilities on turn 4 (or 3 with accel)? But you can do the same with Cloudshift, Turn to Mist, Momentary Blink etc.

Note that right now Standard doesn't have easy ways to blink morphs. Just Rescue from the Underworld, Skybind and Triad of Fates. If there's a card that easily turns face up a huge monster then the entire Tarkir block has the pressure of not being able to print pushed big morph guys, which is obviously not worth it. The same happened with them shying away from good early living weapons because of Stoneforge Mystic, then changing their mind for Batterskull and then regretting printing such a powerful enabler. I figure they would either not print something like this in the same Standard or wait until the last set with morph or later so they can tweak if necessary.
