Morophon, the Boundless and enter as a copy
Asked by Dauderess 4 years ago
If I use Morophon, the Boundless as a commander for an eldrazi deck and im playing Altered Ego in it will the Altered Ego get the mana reduction from morophon or no?
The problem is that Morophon, the Boundless gives a discount to casting spells with the creature type. Altered Ego is only cast as a Shapeshifter. It enters the battlefield as a copy of the chosen creature, but by then it's too late to receive Morophon's discount.

When you cast it, Altered Ego is a Shapeshifter without Changeling--it only has one creature type. It doesn't become a copy of another creature until it resolves and enters the battlefield. Altered Ego would not get the Morophon, the Boundless discount unless you chose Shapeshifter with Morophon.
