Insidious Mist Flip
Asked by NirTheCatGuy 6 years ago
Lets say I attack with Insidious Mist Flip, then when he's not blocked I transform him into Elusive Tormentor Flip, does the defending player is able to cast some sort of a removal spell like Go for the Throat, kill Elusive Tormentor Flip, and avoid the damage? If so, what benefit can I get from Insidious Mist Flip abilities? Thanks!
You can flip it back to mist side by discarding a card and paying 1. You don't deal any damage but you trade your card for their card and keep your dude.

The benefit's of Insidious Mist Flip is that you can turn into it to stop a kill spell at any time you have the mana and card in hand, and that when you attack with it you get to turn it back into Elusive Tormentor Flip after blockers are declared so you get a free hit through their defenses. You can also block with Elusive Tormentor Flip and then transform it into Insidious Mist Flip to stop an attack from a big creature as long as it doesn't have trample.

Yes, everyone is allowed to take more actions before the game moves from the Declare Blockers step to the Combat Damage step. If your opponent casts a removal spell of some sort on Elusive Tormentor Flip, you're also allowed to respond by activating its ability to transform it into Insidious Mist Flip to protect it.
