Cool Card Design of the Day2/18/2015 - Here's another possible direction that Dragons of Tarkir might take for alternate-reality morph to play alongside manifest.
For consistency, it might need to let you turn the creature face up the same ways that manifest does.
wouldn't this be the same as 'manifest target creature'?
ReplyDeleteIf we add the manifest abilities, it would be, except that anything attached to it would fall off. Very close, though, yeah.
DeleteWhat does this do to creature tokens?
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought this was yet another Pongify/Rapid Hybridization/Reality Shift, which I want to be vocal about hating in blue, but then I realized that it's actually much closer to an Unsummon - it's equivalent to "target creature's controller must pay its mana cost once to get their creature back", which I'm totally alright with.
I learned recently that tokens can be turned face down. Most tokens have no mana cost, so they could never be turned back face up.
DeleteOff topic, I find all the vitriol about Reality Shift puzzling.

Whenever a creature card enters the battlefield, manifest that card.
Better if they're played face down so we don't know what they all are, right?
DeleteThe wording we've seen out of Wizards still has me thinking that the twist will still have the word "Morph" attached to it, but if that's not the case, Regress seems like a plausible place to go. My biggest worry is the aforementioned token interaction, but I suppose that could be addressed in reminder text.
ReplyDeleteWizen itself is a clever blend of Turn to Frog and Unsummon (if we go with the flip up version). Very neat and very blue.
