Yesterday on Profane Prince interaction with Reanimate

2 months ago

Any double-faced card has only the properties of its front face while it's anywhere other than the battlefield (or in the case of Modal Dual Faced Cards like Blex, Vexing Pest  Flip, the stack).

The card will go back to being Westvale Abbey while it's in the graveyard, so it can't be targeted by Reanimate.

If an effect does reanimate a DFC, it'll only reanimate it on its front side unless that effect specifically says otherwise. Crucible of Worlds and Splendid Reclamation can each bring back out the Westvale Abbey, but it will only be a Westvale Abbey. You'll need to transform it again. Same principle with triggered reanimation effects like Marchesa, the Black Rose.

The card being treated as its front face is an immediate thing that doesn't use the stack. I.E., if Ormendahl dies, there is no moment before it flips back to Westvale Abbey in the graveyard where you are able to cast Back for More to bring it back first. Likewise if Ormendahl is targeted with a Cloudshift, it'll be exiled and immediately turned front-face up again, then reenter the battlefield as Westvale Abbey.

I think the key here is that the back side of Blex, Vexing Pest  Flip is not a permanent card. In the final example, Invasion of Kylem  Flip is entering as a copy of a creature. Because of how copy effects work, Valor's Reach Tag Team  Flip is also a copy of Bird Admirer  Flip, so it's a creature entering the battlefield. The rule still explicitly prevents it from entering, even though it's type is changed. Search for Blex  Flip is perpetually an artifact instead of a sorcery, but it's still on some level a sorcery card for the sake of being able to enter the battlefield.

Arena-specific question. I don't think I have the cards to test it RN.

Reezug, the Bonecobbler can turn both sides of a MDFC creature into an artefact. I've done this before with a Sheoldred  Flip which I paid to flip over into an artefact that didn't do anything. I've also seen it happen to a Grist, Voracious Larva  Flip which transformed into an artefact with loyalty abilities.

What happens if you turn a Blex, Vexing Pest  Flip into an artefact card and then cast Search for Blex  Flip?

Felipix on Grist commander deck need help

Guy I see your post and I really like your deck the only thing I want to say is, you really don't need Arasta of the Endless Web, Blex, Vexing Pest  Flip, Honest Rutstein, Izoni, Thousand-Eyed, Old Rutstein and Old Stickfingers. because these isn't insects. you may put some recursion on the deck (dont forget to add the grist to the command zone) and lhurgoyf stuff would be good to... take a look to the Lhurgoyfs

Please look my deck of kefnet if you can

V2.0: Shifted aim toward answers from threats. Tokens aren't anything to worry about before turn seven, anyway.

Armored Skaab: Down by one.

Blex, Vexing Pest  Flip: Cut. Buffing the tokens to speed up lethal is counterintuitive to much of the rest of the deck's intention to stall. Rarely, if ever find reason to use the back side, and life is valuable to this deck only so far as delays are concerned. Once you're stable, you don't need to fish so desperately for pieces.

Boneyard Wurm: Down by one.

Combine Guildmage, Swarm Guildmage: See: Blex.

Lotleth Giant: I really like this because it dodges blockers, but it's never decisive like a seven-drop ought to be. Dropped.

Decisive Denial: Dropped. Couldn't justify its use when creature-based iterations can be used to keep the effect and fuel other spells.

Drown in Filth: Dropped. Part of the issue is the mana requirement. It's hard to reliably draw all three colors in the first two turns, so a lot of my starts were awkward with this. It could also fizzle early on by not having enough of the right thing in my graveyard.

Spider Spawning: Reduced by two. Slow, and the deck is pretty heavy on recursion. Despite issues with the tap requirement, Vilespawn Spider is a body, on or off the field, and anything in the way of attackers or pumping spells is important.

Spiketail Hatchling: Added four copies. Might look for one I like with a mana cost to make the tax a greater burden. Or maybe something with lower CMC and no flying.

Winds of Rebuke: Added three copies.

Spore Frog: Added four copies.

Svogthos, the Restless Tomb: Added another copy. Realized somewhere down the line that it plays really well with Crop Sigil to return two creatures to play.

Deadbridge Chant: Added one copy. Still not wholly sold on this, but it makes sprinting against other stall decks much more viable. Valid target for Winds of Rebuke, if you happen to need to reset with elixir.

Land: Reduced prominence of black and green for blue.
