NEW MECHANICS: Disguise & Cloak - ALL the rules you need to know

Important reminder: Yedora Grave Gardener only affects the backside, due to layers. Which means that any creatures returned to the battlefield as a forest by their ability can be flipped face up if they have morph or disguise.

you could manifest from other zones too, theres an artifact that does it from your hand called scroll of fate

Great vid loved the info at the end!

It should be noted that special actions do in fact still follow priority rules. There's an order of operations for when cards can turn face up, the game has to have a system of either player turning their card face up first especially when there are abilities attached to that. It determines which abilities go on the stack first

Great summary!

I know someone else mentioned it, but Manifest was never restricted to just the top of player's libraries. That was just the most common place since it's a hidden zone that often has abundant resources to pull from, making it easier to keep the surprise aspect and making it unlikely to fail. Ghastly Conscription and Jeskai Infiltrator are from the set Manifest was introduced, and they manifest from the graveyard and from exile respectively (They have you shuffle the cards you manifest to add the surprise element back in). Later on we got Scroll of Fate that can Manifest a card from your hand.

Love the Ape Escape background music 😁

bro im screaming, because i have cried for a long time wishing morph came back because my morph deck or (yugioh deck) has morph, manifest and fortell. Im screaming because this mechanic is one of those low on the list for a revisit. Im just super happy they came back with it so i have more ammo to add to my kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new doctor who masters of evil precon also has a similar mechanic where cards get turned face down and become a 2/2 cybermen

I really want that Eaten by Pirannhas card now.

Now Im wondering if I can use these in a casualty deck that uses graveyard recursion for big plays

In addition: Morph is a static ability and not an activated ability. Had to tear apart a fun deck idea when I found out

A few questions. Since Nightdrinker Moroii says "When Nightdrinker Moroii enters the battlefield, you lose 3 life." that only applies to it being cast and not if it is disguised and turned face-up, correct? With Branch of Vitu-Ghazi, if it is blocked or being blocked as a disguised creature, and is then turned face-up, is it taken out of combat?

There is an exception to the 5 mana rule. Zombie cutthroat. Though he does cost 5 life.

About Etrata's ability, would it work on a saga with a creature on the back like "Okiba Reckoner Raid" as its upwards backside is a creature or "Sheoldred" with its downward frontside being a creature? How would it work with a 2 sided creatures? For example: "Doric, Nature's Warden." Does it work with werewolves? Both the day and night cycle and the few activated ability flips. A separate question, what counts as turning 'face up' for "Aphetto Runecaster"? If I blink something face down, number 1, does it comeback face up? Number 2, does that count as turning 'face up'?

Was it really necessary to bring back morph and manifest but slightly changed, just to confuse people with mechanics that were and still are very confusing? This set seems… not really thought out

Today I learned that morph creatures dont have a name. The Kadeena precon comes with Echoing Truth, which returns target nonland permanent and all with the same name into their owners hands. I thought it was included so that you could save your board from a wipe and have used it to do exactly that, but since morph doesnt have a name, I guess I was cheating?

Disguise is just morph but better. No need to change my mind.
