Thoughts on morph token?

That goblin is {Legion Loyalist} on scary steroids...

Unless you mean the art, no. Loyalist enables rabble red to have a much better pre board matchup against gw aggro and burn, and he is also 4 less mana. Also, this guy is three colours...

I love it. Next token I'll be collecting.

I cannot help but feel like the art on the Shankar is VERY familiar...

It looks a bit like me... (If anyone knows what I mean, lemme know )


It was one of the original 5 arts spoiled.

i think it could be more descriptive, like "this creature has no name. this creature has no type." so people dont try to bile blight away their opponents morph creatures when its only gonna hit one.

and {ankle shanker}!!!! maybe the best flavored magic card of all time.

Looks like one of the monsters from the movie "Critters"...

I am shocked by all of the Ankle Shanker love.

They should print those Morph tokens onto sleeves. Not that I'll play with those sleeves, but I think players would be interested.
It kind of looks like the creatures name is Morph...

We're getting greedy

{Vindicate} probably is too good for Standard. It doesn't help that {Thoughtseize} is in Standard already.

A non land version on vindicate might be ok

Pretty much hit the nail on the head here. And dudcore got shown up...lol Utter End too nice

It still isn't {Vindicate}

It's nice. I gotta work it into my Stax deck somehow.

The point is that you said these colors don't do this anymore, but wizards feels differently I guess :p

But back to comparing it to {vindicate}, with the obvious and necessary downside of not being able to hit lands aside, I agree with you that 1 more mana for instant speed and exile is a pretty good trade-off. This is definitely a good card!

[Dudecore]

Yeah I was wrong about that. I remember reading on Blogatog something about Green being non-land permanent destruction now. But it dawned on me that {Ashen Rider} is a very recent thing. But I feel {vindicate}d that {Vindicate} wasn't reprinted. I think that extra mana honestly makes it worse then {Vindicate}, but it does everything you'd want it to do really. I don't know how it's going to fair in Standard, talking to some buddies who play that format said it probably won't be seeing much play. I know that historically 4-mana destroy spells are a tough sell.

To be fair though this is arguably the best one we've seen yet... I think it will see some play for sure but we'll just have to wait and see

I'm certain there'll be some ramp in Khans and the card will see decent play given situational goodness as it avoids Regenerate/Indestructible annoyances.
I'd run it as a 2-of in my Orzhov for sure. Maybe sideboard a 3rd

It looks like a furry Podling from The Dark Crystal.
