skirk alarmist and noncreature spells

Asked by The_Epic_Dog 4 years ago

Skirk Alarmist lets you un-morph cards you control. But what if instead you un-manifest a facedown card you control, say a Sol Ring ? Would it still be sacrificed? What if it was an instant or sorcery, say Giant Growth ? What if it was an instant or sorcery with no legal targets? An aura? Does it work the same way with other facedown permanents, like Tezzeret, Cruel Machinist ultimate or Illusionary Mask ?

  1. The card will still be sacrificed. In the "sacrifice it" part of Skirk Alarmist 's ability, the "it" refers to the object you targeted at the beginning of the ability. Even if the card is no longer a creature after you turn it face-up, it's still the same object
  2. A face-down instant or sorcery card on the battlefield can't be turned face-up. If it would be turned face-up, instead you reveal it and leave it face-down
  3. If you turn an aura face-up then it will be put into the graveyard because it's not attached to anything
  4. Skirk Alarmist can target any face-down creature you control, regardless of how it got face-down in the first place. The interactions will be the same
