How does Morph work in MTG?
You can use a morph ability to cast a card from any zone from which you could normally play it. When the spell resolves, it enters the battlefield with the same characteristics the spell had. The morph effect applies to the face-down object wherever it is, and it ends when the permanent is turned face up.
Does morphing count as casting?
Yes. Turning a face-down creature face-up is a special action. It is not an activated ability or casting a spell, so it can be done even if there’s a spell with split second on the stack.
Can morph be responded to?
A) No. You cannot respond to morph as morph does not use the stack. Morph is announced, the cost is paid, and the Skinthinner is turned face up. Once it is face up, its triggered ability goes on the stack and you will eventually get priority, at which point you can respond with Shock.
How does sacrificing work in MTG?
Sacrificing or saccing is purposely or forcefully removing a permanent from play. This can be due to an effect on the card itself, the effect of another permanent already in play, coming into or leaving play or a spell such as an instant or sorcery. A sacrificed permanent cannot be regenerated.
Does morph summoning sickness?
No, it won’t have “summoning sickness” unless it already had it. Turning the card face up (“morphing”) just changes its characteristics, just like Giant Growth does. Turning the card face up doesn’t give or take away “summoning sickness” any more than Giant Growth does.
Can morph counter split second?
If a spell with split second is on the stack, you can still respond by turning this creature face up and targeting that spell with the trigger. This is because split second only stops players from casting spells or activating abilities, while turning a creature face up is a special action.

Does morph count as a colorless spell?

Can I sacrifice a creature at any time?
You can certainly sacrifice a creature any time you have priority. This is the same rule that lets you play instants during combat. If your opponent has already blocked your 5/5, it won’t do any good, as even after the blocker is killed, your 5/5 is still considered blocked and won’t hit the player.
Can you sacrifice at any time?
You can’t spontaneously sacrifice a permanent. Even if you have a permanent with an ability of the form “whenever a creature dies” or “whenever a creature is sacrificed”, you need to find some means of sacrificing it. There’s no rule forbidding it; there’s simply no rule allowing it.

Can you sacrifice a creature before it is destroyed?
Explicitly as this question is asked, no you cannot sacrifice something while it is being destroyed. However, what you want to do is possible. The spell that destroys all creatures goes onto the stack and both players are then allowed to take actions before it resolves.
Can you sacrifice a creature you don’t control?

Can you sacrifice a creature with indestructible?
Description. Indestructible permanents can still be put into their owner’s graveyard by other means, such as by the “legend rule”, by being sacrificed or (in the case of creatures) having zero or less toughness. They can also be removed from the battlefield by being bounced or exiled for example.
Are morphs considered tokens?

How do you morph a creature with no name?
