Any time you have priority, you may turn the face-down creature face up by revealing what its morph cost is and paying that cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. Only a face-down permanent can be turned face up this way; a face-down spell cannot.
2014-09-20
If a face-down permanent leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or if the game ends.
2014-09-20
The face-down spell has no mana cost and has a mana value of 0. When you cast a face-down spell, put it on the stack face down so no other player knows what it is, and pay
. This is an alternative cost.
2014-09-20
Morph lets you cast a card face down by paying
, and lets you turn the face-down permanent face up any time you have priority by paying its morph cost.
2014-09-20
If Ashcloud Phoenix is face down, you can turn it face up for its morph cost, even if you didn't cast Ashcloud Phoenix face down using its morph ability.
2014-09-20
If Ashcloud Phoenix leaves the graveyard before its "dies" ability resolves, it won't return to the battlefield.
2014-09-20
When the spell resolves, it enters the battlefield as a 2/2 creature with no name, mana cost, creature types, or abilities. It's colorless and has a mana value of 0. Other effects that apply to the creature can still grant it any of these characteristics.
2014-09-20
Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it's turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn't cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.
2014-09-20
Once Ashcloud Phoenix returns to the battlefield face down, each player will know which face-down creature it is. You can't mix up the positions of your face-down permanents to disguise this.
2014-09-20
A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent, as well as Auras and Equipment that were attached to the permanent, aren't affected.
2014-09-20
You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can easily be differentiated from each other. You're not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield in order to confuse other players. The order they entered the battlefield should remain clear. Common methods for doing this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield.
2014-09-20
At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can't look at face-down spells or permanents you don't control unless an effect instructs you to do so.
