Door of Destinies and Morph

Asked by j957o3 10 years ago

Say I have Door of Destinies out in play and I play a card with morph and it is an angel along with that being chosen as the creature type for the door. Will Door of Destinies receive a counter as the morph is flipped and it is an angel?

I don't believe it would. It says as you cast a spell of the chosen type, and morphlings are 2/2 no name, no type

Door of Destinies triggers on the casting of the spell. Morph'd creatures and spells have no subtypes and will not trigger Door of Destinies without an effect like Conspiracy .

Short answer: No counter for the door.

Long answer: Two reasons why it won't work. One, as Jedne said above, is that un-morphing the creature is not casting the creature. Casting a spell is the bit where you take it from your hand, put it on the stack, pay costs and all that. Two, if you cast it as a Morph creature, on the stack, it is a 2/2 Creature spell with no subtypes, including Angel, so you won't get a counter on the cast either. If you want the counter, you have to cast it face-up.
