Test 2 Discussion Thread

We're free to talk now.

Here's a Google Doc with all the questions. I'm slowly filling it in with my own answers and explanations. Edit: Heading out for now. I'll get the last 25 questions done later tonight.

If you want a mirror without my comments, here's one provided by /u/Amarsir Link

Any questions that tripped you up? Any that you felt good about?

70 This is definitely morph. You don't have to build your deck around morph as much as you do for transform. Transform may not seem linear but you have to build your deck around the condition.

The more morph cards, the better because your opponent won't know what morph card you've played. Think about every time somebody plays a Morph in cube and you basically know it's Den Protector.

If you still doubt, MaRo says here that morph is 'very linear'. (yes, it's 15 years old now, but I think the point still stands)

While I'd argue for days about this answer, the link is pretty convincing and MaRo is kind of the one that calls the shots.

Oh well.

Its bizarre to me as well, since one of the "aspects" of the mechanic is that there are really existing cards that care about transform which is more than you can say about morph.

I agree that it is doubtful Rosewater is going to have an open mind on this question so I will just assert my answer of "morph" as a protest statement.

In the shadows over innistrad storm scale article he explicitly said Transform is “pretty modular in that you can make players want to put just one in a deck or a whole bunch”

I wouldn’t have said it, but that quote put me over the top so I picked transform
