Phyrexian Metamorph

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

If the chosen creature is copying something else (for example, if the chosen creature is a Clone), then your Phyrexian Metamorph enters as whatever the chosen creature copied, except it's also an artifact.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

Any "enters" abilities of the copied permanent will trigger when Phyrexian Metamorph enters. Any "as [this] enters" or "[this] enters with" abilities of the chosen permanent will also work.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

Except for also being an artifact, Phyrexian Metamorph copies exactly what was printed on the original permanent and nothing more (unless that creature is itself copying something or is a token; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any noncopy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

If the chosen permanent is a token, Phyrexian Metamorph copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put the token onto the battlefield, except it's also an artifact. Phyrexian Metamorph is not a token.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

If Phyrexian Metamorph somehow enters at the same time as another permanent (due to Mass Polymorph or Liliana Vess's third ability, for example), Phyrexian Metamorph can't become a copy of that permanent. You may choose only a permanent that's already on the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

If the chosen permanent has {X} in its mana cost (such as Protean Hydra), X is considered to be zero.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

You can choose not to copy anything. In that case, Phyrexian Metamorph simply enters as a 0/0 artifact creature and is put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action (unless something else is raising its toughness).

Wizards of the Coast 1 Jun 2011

If Phyrexian Metamorph copies a noncreature artifact, it is no longer a creature.

Tezzeret the Seeker

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2009

The effect from the ability overwrites other effects that set power and/or toughness if and only if those effects existed before the ability resolved. It will not overwrite effects that modify power or toughness (whether from a static ability, counters, or a resolved spell or ability), nor will it overwrite effects that set power and toughness which come into existence after the ability resolves. Effects that switch the creature’s power and toughness are always applied after any other power or toughness changing effects, including this one, regardless of the order in which they are created.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2009

A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature is subject to the “summoning sickness” rule: It can only attack, and its {T} abilities can only be activated, if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2008

For the second ability, you choose the value of X when you activate it. You don’t look through your library until the ability resolves. (In other words, you can’t look through your library, decide what artifact card you want, and then determine what X is.) You can’t choose an X that’s greater than the number of loyalty counters on Tezzeret.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2008

The first ability can target zero, one, or two artifacts. You may activate it with no targets just to put a loyalty counter on Tezzeret.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2008

The third ability affects all artifacts you control, including artifacts that are already creatures.

Wizards of the Coast 1 Oct 2008

The third ability causes artifacts you control to become creatures in addition to their other card types.

Also Printed in Other Drops

Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
