Does manifesting Phage with Scroll of Fate lose me the game?

Asked by Slurpz 3 years ago

Just not sure what happens when you manifest Phage the Untouchable with Scroll of Fate since she's coming in face down as a manifest. Would I lose the game right there? Would I lose the game when she's flipped up?

You do not lose either way. Manifesting/playing a morph card upside-down counts the card as a separate entity from its front. Flipping them face up does not count as them entering the battlefield.

Another way to put it is Phage never actually enters the battlefield. A 2/2 colorless creature with the morph ability and nothing else entered the battlefield. It later became Phage but was already in play.
