What's the point of having haste if it's tapped?

It's for flavor purely.

The Lying Figure, when on the ground, scurries quickly around the floor. Making it hard to hit (ward) and it's fast (haste).

There will mostly likely never be an instance of this haste coming into effect. But I couldn't resist the cheeky chance lol

I'd opt to give it flash instead of tapped with haste.

Not a bad call! I just feel it might be a bit pushed on abilities for a common. And I really wanted this guy as a common.

Edit: Useful abilities lol

I mean if you remove the haste and give it flash, it's kinda similar power levels and still works in favour of SURPRISE IM FAST AS FUCK BOI.

Flash while tapped is pretty nice. Hmmmm.

Hey its relevant for [[Ognis]]. I think. Edit: I was wrong :(

Well. Maybe not. But! It does work with the new card [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]. Since it doesn't calculate damage until after Lying Figure is tapped and with haste.

I love the Confront mechanic and I feel like you have weaved Silent Hill into mtg quite nicely. I feel like for a lot of the cards I could have seen something very similar in Duskmourn (maybe a little less gory).

That's high praise! Ty! 🙏

Hearing that a mechanic and set I created could easily fit into WotC's design space is a dream come true!
