Clone effects and flipping

Asked by acbooster 8 years ago

To set up the scenario, I'm playing an Ixidor, Reality Sculptor EDH deck and have a Clone in my hand and something with morph face-up on the field, say, Scornful Egotist. I cast Clone to copy the Egotist, and then I play Ixidron to turn every other nontoken creature face down.

My question is: Does the Clone copy still retain all of the same characteristics of Scornful Egotist (or any other morph creature) when it's face-down?

Considering the card didn't change zones I believe it would retain the properties you gave it, this is opinion and I haven't seen anything anywhere to reference that something specific would happen however.

As long as you cloned the actual face-up side of the creature, you're good to go. The Clone will continue to have the attributes, including the un-morph cost.

Note that un-morphing the Clone will not let you make it a copy of something else.

Oh yeah that's what the Vesuvan Shapeshifter is for :P I have a few ideas for some synergies that'll benefit from clone effects and abusing cards that flip other creatures face down
