Question regarding morph and City of Solitude
Asked by MartialArt 7 years ago
Hi.
I'm just curious since I play a morph commander. Morph doesn't use the stack and it doesn't count as an activated ability and that's why Training Grounds doesn't work on it.
So now the question is. Can I still morph while City of Solitude is out?

No, because you can't activate your mana abilities to pay the morph cost. City of Solitude is the only effect in Magic (of its type) that stops mana abilities. The only creature you can flip is Proteus Machine.

City of Solitude stops all off-turn activated abilities. while this doesn't apply to morphing, it applies to paying the cost for morphing if the cost includes mana. If it doesn't, like merrowMania said regarding Proteus Machine, you're good to go.
You can also utilize morph costs that do not include mana, i.e. Zombie Cutthroat or Dragon's Eye Savants.

Ah thanks. So sadly I can't abuse this since I can't generate mana.
