Brainstorming on morph and manifest, I tried to think of something more like moprh, but like manifest, allowed any creature card in the set to be "morphed".
I'm not quite sure of the mechanics, right now, the other creature is just put OTB but one doesn't turn into the other like morph, would that be better, if so, is there concise reminder text?
Any other suggestions for cleaning up the reminder text?
I'm not quite sure of the flavour: the creature growing up? the creature dropping an illusion or disguise? something else?
As with morph, you can have several simple cards that play in different ways. A 1/1 or 2/2 where you get an early body, but the main excitement is to trade up at the right time. Or a larger vanilla creature where you usually wouldn't use mature, but might in response to a removal spell (if the template stays the same). Or a card that has an additional effect, eg. putting +1/+1 counters on the new creature, or having it deal damage to another creature, or whatever.
See Challenge # 134.
