If you were to get three on the board, yes, barring any other cost increases.

Does it effect the mana to flip a morph creature face up?

{obscuring aether} reduces the cost to cast a morph by {1}. It will not reduce morph costs, the cost to flip a creature.

Not at all.  It only reduces what you pay when you cast a creature face-down, meaning when you pay {3} to cast a card with Morph face-down.  It has no effect on the morph costs paid to flip something face-up.  If it did, it would reference Morph Costs specifically, like {Exiled Doomsayer} does.

I feel like there is a card, probably from the Scourge set, that reduces costs to turn face up

Nothing found on " reduce morph" text search.

Just looked it up. Older cards that making playing face down cheaper. And cards that reduce the cost of playing any generic creature, any generic spell, or specify reducing the cost of colorless creatures or spells will reduce the cost to face down a creature.

Correct, but your comment was specifically on Morph costs.  The only card that changes them is {Exiled Doomsayer}, which actually increases the cost by {2}.

Which would play nicely against some morph cards out now
