Interaction between Foreboding Statue Flip (or other transforming creatures) and Myrkul, Lord of Bones
Asked by CamraMaan 1 year ago
The first question is which side of Foreboding Statue Flip comes back as an enchantment when it dies with Myrkul, Lord of Bones on the battlefield? I'm assuming the front side, but just need to make sure. The second question is what happens with the transformation trigger when it's a token enchantment...? Does it still "flip over" and transform as the normal card would...? Thanks in advance! :)
So the transformation won't happen, but I don't lose it or anything, right...? Since it's a token, I can see room for a weird interaction like that.

(i.e. it goes to flip, but there's nothing to flip into, being a token, so it ceases to exist...)

Nah, the transformation just fails to happen, but you still keep the token.
Yesterday says... Accepted answer #1
The token will be a copy of the front side, because Myrkul tells you to make a token copy "of the card", which is always its front face unless it's on the battlefield.
The token copy will be unable to transform because it doesn't have a backside. It's a bit unfortunate, but it also works the other way around, IE if you create a token copy of Hollowhenge Huntmaster Flip (through a non-Myrkul method) and then it becomes day, that token won't transform into its weaker half.
