­Challenge # 005. When Phyrexia invades worlds, it often spends centuries undercover, pretending to be part of the environment. Why not use morph? In some planes, morph creatures are normal (albeit, you shouldn't stand too close to them. Who knows what's inside, eh?) I could imagine the denizens of that plane thinking its odd that the number of morph creatures seem to have risen dramatically.

Also, if you see one or two myr pop up in a set's card list, that's a pretty big hint...

Hm. I like "turn all artifacts face down". It's good both to nerf opposing artifacts, and to power up your 0-cost artifacts. (And invalidating all artifacts is always fine to have a few rare cards for.)

I'm surprised to see it turning all artifacts face down with no corresponding morph clause, but that's what Ixidron did, so it must be reasonable.

­Ixidron did explicitly say "They're 2/2 creatures", though. (Which is another reason why it seems like lurk / earthform wouldn't cause any rules problems, but that's a rant for another time...)

Fun card. Would want to be in a block with both Morph and lots of artifacts, but that's a reasonable set of circumstances to expect to happen eventually. I like the Phyrexian flavour as well.
