If a noncreature with Amplify enters the battlefield, can you reveal anything?

Asked by Yesterday 1 year ago

Seems like the answer would be obviously no, but I wanna double check.

If a Glowering Rogon of mine dies while I control a Myrkul, and it returns as a noncreature enchantment, can I reveal anything as it enters?

Maybe Myrkul's rules text will have something to say about it, but as written, this is how Amplify works:

702.37a Amplify is a static ability. “Amplify N” means “As this object enters the battlefield, reveal any number of cards from your hand that share a creature type with it. This permanent enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it for each card revealed this way.

Seeing how the token copy from Myrkul explicitly loses all other types than Enchantment, you'd have no possible cards in your hand that would share a creature type with it.

It's a legal play to reveal them anyway, nothing would stop you to show cards in your hand, but it won't benefit you in any way if you do in this case, and will only give your opponent hidden information, so I'd advise against it '^^
