I know, there is exactly 1 thread on morphs, but that topic was more on changing then rules on the ability (which i think, is a horrible idea), so I wanted to start a topic on the actual morph cards and a possible morph theme, which is imo one of the most fun mechanical themes for cube.
Evaluating a morph as a Gray Ogre is like saying Firebolt is a bad Shock. Exalted Angel is even today an undercosted beater, attacking on turn 4, you can't tell me this card is inefficient. In fact, it is good enough to be the only morph in a cube, and so good, I had to cut it from my lower powered list.
Having multiple morphs in multiple colors makes for a real sweet mini game, or rather mind game, where you can win a game thanks to a good bluff. Or lose horribly. Every time someone plays a face down card in my cube, it creates a moment of tension. If you want something skill testing without taking the game too seriously, just include some morphs.
I'm running all these:
The only card I'm unhappy with is the Broodhatch Nantuko, because it is rarely good outside of a deck with damage based sweepers and Wildfire effects.
What morphs do you have in your cube?
