The curiosity on an opponent's face when you lay down a lone colorless 2/2 shows the political opportunity available to you. Played in 244 decks, this beast is excellent as a one-of Morph-er in a deck. Hystrodon, from Onslaught, has to be one of my favorite creatures with Morph. And the next turn, and the next turn, and the next turn.

For instance, after getting your Reaper through for the initial attack without losing life, using some expert Morph timing, you can use Vesuvan Shapeshifter to do it again the next turn. It's clear to see where the risk and reward come from, but there are some options for cheating the system. I'm talking about Ebonblade Reaper, in a whole 83 decks on the site. Let's talk about some cards you'll want to flip face-up! First on the list is the epitome of high risk/high reward. That means that when Ixidron does come down, Primal Whisperer can get HUGE!Īll this talk about getting cards face-down. The best part is that it checks all face-down creatures, not just yours. Seeing play in 149 decks, this card can become a real problem card if left unchecked. Obscuring Aether only sees play in 195 decks right now, which to me seems low.īefore there was Ixidron, there was another card, from back in Legion, that had power and toughness that scaled with the number of face-downs in play. It even has the added bonus of being able to flip face-down and turn into a 2/2 should removal come its way. Speaking of redundancy, Obscuring Aether is an excellent second Dream Chisel, reducing the costs of face-down creatures even further. This artifact will help add some redundancy to Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer 's cost-reduction effect, potentially allowing us to squeeze in multiple face-down plays in a turn it's always an auto-include for me in this theme. While the original Morph-er Ixidor, Reality Sculptor comes in at 451 decks on the site, his tool of choice, the Dream Chisel, is an eligible inclusion at only 228 decks. Personally, I know I'm a big fan from all the way back in Onslaught block. Morph has been one of those fan-favorite abilities to come back over and over again. As there are several hyper-underplayed cards in the Morph theme, I'm shaping Faceless Menace into a deck even more focused towards flipping creatures face-up. These preconstructed decks are designed to be capable of going many different directions, especially when looking at the new cards introduced in the set. Step one in this process is selecting the theme, and through that, the commander.

The hope is to increase synergy and potentially free up generally good cards for use in other decks. The goal here will be updating the deck by adding in only cards that meet the hyper-underplayed requirement above. Specifically, it's the newly-released Faceless Menace preconstructed Commander deck. Normally, I would talk about some weird deck built from scratch using hyper-underplayed cards, but today, I'll be starting with an already-assembled deck. For today's installment, we're going to try something a little different in celebration of the new Commander 2019 decks. Good day everyone! You've happened upon yet another Forgotten Harvest, where we feature those cards that see play in 300 or less decks on EDHREC.
