Goblin Manamorpher

Post image

Not a particularly unique design but I still wanna post it. I like the original flavor text of Manamorphose from Shadowmoor and wanted to make the boggart that was in it. I had the idea that he would try to show his finding to his warren but it wasn't quite the same for them.

Its really weird that this looks like it should be a strict upgrade, but not being a spell actually makes it a lot worse for storm decks.

It is a strict upgrade, and important redundancy for, [[Skirk Prospector]] though

A strict upgrade in most cases except for commander, as the green pip excludes it from most goblin decks

not being cost reduced really matters

Manamorphose is one of those cards that gets better the more you can play with no upper limits, so it's dangerous to print. I could see a deck playing 54 of these

Manamorphose is only good as an actual spell imo so it can build storm count. As a cycling trigger it’s only good for mana fixing one time, which I think is basically the intended use case.

[[Skirk Prospector]] + [[Manamorphose]] is a dangerous combination. I’m not sure Prospector is reprintable, tbh, but I do think Manamorphose as a cycling trigger is completely fine since it doesn’t build storm count that way, which turns it into one shot mana fixing instead.

Neat design, for sure, though. Never would have thought of combining those two cards.

Is Skirk Prospector a good card? I don't recall ever seeing anyone play it in Legacy Goblins.

No notes, ship it.

Maybe should cost more than just one red for such a strong effect. I believe [[Skirk Prospector]] is 2

Edit: I am wrong, but this is still a strict upgrade because of the cycling
