Kieran: Taken deck request (2014)

[NeoAnderson]

Your trigger for Dread Cacodemon is wrong as it should not trigger if brought to the battlefield by some other effect (like Elvish Piper), but your version will trigger. You absolutely need to have a check for WasCast() to make sure it was actually cast. Also the filter for Controller's creatures is wrong as it needs to exclude itself. You need to add:

Code: Select all

filter:Add( FE_CARD_INSTANCE, OP_NOT, EffectSource() )

You're right my friend i made it quickly and i miss something, i also made a short test
Anyway thanks to your attention i revised it.
Now it should be ok.

Dread Cacodemon revised not tested | Open

Code: Select all

Riiak you know what?
I was thinking about your discussion on Morph abilty.
I tried to make something but i found some problems, now I know you said is not possible to make it, but i was thinking to make something similar.
I tried this approach, I made an activable ability active zone hand (before i tried with alternative cost) to create an RSN_ObjectDC() variable to 1. I made some different test with different triggers because, i would TurnFaceDown() the card, but they didn't work, this function seems don't work properly, only one time i success to turn it facedown while is in my hand, with Trigger_Consider_for_cast, but is not what we need. Anyway this activable ability (if we resolve the problem to hide the card) use Castforfree to put the card onto battlefield.
I added a static ability that changes the power and toughness to 2/2 and eventually clear all other abilities.
The problem is how to hide the card?
I tried to put a token onto battlefield just to make a test if was possible to copy that token before cast the card, but it also didn't work, probably because when the card is into hand cannot be overwritten by using UseCopiableValues. My idea was to make an invisible token to putonbattlefield copy it before cast the morphed card, then exile it.
So the point is : we are able to do what morph require : Change the creature into a 2/2 creature with ability to morph back, but we are not able to hide it.
Any suggestion?

[...]
Any suggestion?

Yes, this is my suggestion: give up.

should the copied Dragon have haste? Because it seem useless to copy a card and it cannot use ability with or cannot attack. Is it only for difensive purpose?

Scion of the Ur-Dragon is already on the battlefield when you make it copy another Dragon, so it doesn't re-gain summoning sickness if it wore off before.
