Recent updates to Multiverse Design Challenge: (Generated at 2025-05-17 06:12:33)
For Challenge # 134. Not a new morph mechanic per se... I just think Manifest was a little too specific. In a set that's full of morphers, this is a great card. Put it in a normal deck, and it's two bears for four - still good. What's keeping the spell in check, however, is that you need to put two cards in your graveyard first. For a set like Tarkir, this should have been relatively simple.
For Challenge # 134. Jack's Morphpeek is cool, but has a problem. People know what creature your face down morph is. And shuffling face down morphs poses a problem if one is tapped and another has an aura. If you return the face down creature to your hand, however, it may not be the same creature when you recast it.
Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of space on this card after the two abilities are added. But maybe these can all be vanilla or french vanilla anyway. How many Morphjutsus can a set support anyway?
For Challenge # 134. I think I've done Gigamorph before somewhere in this thread (as a 3/3.) I figured I'd pull it forward here for funsies. Really, I don't think as many people would have made as much fun of megamorph is it put the counter on before the creature came into play face down.
I could have made this card vanilla, but my guess is that it's easier to see Gigamorphs potential this way.
It's a cute idea. I'm a bit bothered by the fact that the mechanic discourages you from casting the spell in question. But Project can only be featured on so many cards anyway, since it's so obviously linear. I suppose you could just choose the abilities that cause the most stress in hand versus on table.
This is really cool. Dude1818 recently made a comment about how facedown can only imply a 2/2 colorless creature, but I'm pretty sure facedown auras can get their own rule. And this seems like a natural extension.
I like this. Unfortuantely, it's rather impractical if morphers are tapped, have auras on them, etc.
See Challenge # 134.
Use "Project" to temporarily turn your morphs into other things, like the Formless Author or a Smokestone!
Hey, face-down creatures are blank templates! What better way to evolve the mechanic than by filling in those templates, if only temporarily? Morph it into something else!
The wording in the reminder text allows for non-creature cards to project onto a morph, too!
Dragonborn Goblin with dragonform and no face-down-ness.
See Challenge # 134.
An out-of-the-box approach to a morph variant, with no surprise at all, just changing size a bit like monstrosity or ninjitsu -- but designed to combo well with manifest letting you sneak it through combat facedown.
Goblin Boomsmuggler with deathmorph, which is ruleswise almost the same as morph but tries to carve out a different notional niche where it only reveals itself when it dies.
See Challenge # 134.
I was thinking of other ways facedown creatures could interact but not be morph as such. It occurred to me that if they have a death-trigger that affects the board, they act in many ways like differently sized-creatures, even though their stats appear as 2/2.
This is something like either a 3/1 for 1RR or a 4/2 for 3R. And you don't know that it's really a 4/2 until it's blocked or been blocked.
Other creatures might give you a beneficial effect when they die, or deal damage to the opponent. Or maybe deathmorph should be expanded to "sac, if unblocked, do X"?
Termite-Hill Terrorist was something I made because "nega" rhymes with "mega."
Ojutai Halo-Blade fused bestow with morph.
See Challenge # 134.
Retractable claw lizard with peekmorph which only turns face up temporarily.
See Challenge # 134.
Playing up the "unknown" aspect of morph.
Living Shocker with a spellmorph variant.
See Challenge # 134.
A variant of spellmorph, adding to the comp rules that non-permanents (as well as facedown cards) are 2/2 creatures. Alternatively it could give you a 2/2 token.
All the reasons for spellmorph being good, of being the "other half" of letting you use manifested non-creatures. But also, trying to avoid the "don't want to give up my creature" effect by letting you morph it to cast it -- but you keep the 2/2.
Shapeshifter Larva with Mature, where any creature can be morphed into.
See Challenge # 134.
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.
Let me offer my Sublimate mechanic with Vortex of Claws and Elemental Annihilation.
