Volrath's Shapeshifter and Named Cards?

Asked by UniqueUserID 8 years ago

Curious to how Volrath's Shapeshifter works with named card. Normally the named card simply refers to itself. Am I right in these scenarios?

1) Volrath's Shapeshifter is on the field. I discard Myr Servitor during my untap step and I have 3 Myr Servitor and 3 Volrath's Shapeshifter in the graveyard. I am guessing it will revive the Myr Servitor's?

2) How about if Baru, Fist of Krosa is the top card in the graveyard? What do I discard to use the ability? Baru, Fist of Krosa or Volrath's Shapeshifter?

I'm guessing when it says named it strictly only means the cards name?

For the first scenario no one gets priority during the untap step. If you want to discard before your upkeep your opponent's endstep is the last opportunity you have to do so.

But other than that you are correct. You would return Myr Servitor and have to discard a Baru, Fist of Krosa for grandeur.
