Sneaky Shapeshifter   {U} Creature -- Shapeshifter 1/1 Remove ~this~ from the game: Put a creature from your hand into play. That creature gains haste. At end of turn, remove that creature from the game. If you do, return ~this~ to play. I wanted this creature to be able to shift, on-demand, for free. Those're the only requirements I have. Is this too much like Sneak Attack? I think it's different (and not nearly as powerful) because if you can kill it in its shifted form, it won't come back. Is 1UU too low? I could see 2UU. |

Paramorph
 {U}
Creature -- Shapeshifter
1/1
Whenever a noncreature permanent comes into play, you may have ~this~ become a copy of that permanent and gain this ability. (This effect doesn’t copy counters on the permanent.)

OH man, in the kitchen I just had a great idea! We've never had a shifter than can shift into noncreature forms!
Cost upped to 2UU to reflect this.

It's also not as powerful as Sneak Attack because you can only put one creature into play, so you can't just dump your hand for an alpha strike.
Noncreature permanents? Seems like an excellent idea, just need to be more careful when figuring out if you can do anything degenerate with this card. You can pull off the Illusions/Donate win in one turn, oh noes!

Shifty was also overcosted into oblivion, and has that weird thing where you can shfit him into something, then reanimate what he shifted. I guess this isn't as original as I wanted it to be though. Lemme think a bit.
Okay, what about an Unstable Shapeshifter takeoff? I also made it "under your control" so the opponent doesn't keep fucking with you (which keeps you from really exploiting Unstable Shapeshifter).

Is this honestly going to be used in competitive play? Change it back to whenever any noncreature permanent comes into play, so that it becomes a fun casual and multiplayer card.

But thats the problem, it's not fun if you put in all this work to get your cute combo to work, and someone ruins it by playing a land or llanowar elf or something. When opponents can trigger it, it makes it too easy to destroy any cute thing you were planning on.
I could make it "Whenever a noncreature permanent comes into play, you may..." That would be neat; in fact I'll go with that.

How's this name, Paramorph?
"Para-": Prefix meaning "beside," "accessory to" or near.
If it's a decent name, 24 hour clock.

I'm confused - the ability clearly states noncreature permanent, so why does the reminder text talk about copying counters on creatures?

Because I copied it directly from Unstable Shapeshifter's Oracle text and forgot about it?
Anyway I changed it to reflect the interaction with Sunburst cards.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.
