"Card turned face up"
Asked by therealpants 12 years ago
First off I haven't been on this site in a while so I forgot all the commands (ex. posting a card that links to the actual card)
Old card question. I am trying to build a deck that will make uber creatures. I have some old cards that say "Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature when a card is turned face up"called Aven Farseer.
My question is that if I paired this card with a 2 faced card like a Werewolf, would I be able to keep putting +1/+1 counters on it any time I transform my werewolf?

I think that particular example is talking about Morph cards like Imperial Hellkite . Effects like that specifically look for the terminology "turned face up". "Transform" does obviously involve turning the card, but I don't think it is classed as the same action as turning a card face up due to morph.

From the DFC rules article:
'Although the physical action is the same, transforming is not the same as being turned face down. This means that a double-faced card that transforms will not, for example, trigger Unblinking Bleb . Double-faced cards are always face up; they are never face down. If an effect (say, Ixidron ) tries to turn a double-faced card face down, nothing happens.'
Note the reference to Unblinking Bleb , which has a similar ability to Aven Farseer . So, no. DFC cards do not trigger the ability.

You could use creatures such as Wall of Deceit and Vesuvan Shapeshifter , which turn themselves face down to keep the +1/+1 counters flowing.
