Morph without paying its cost
Asked by GLBoxingGlove 12 years ago
If you have the option to play a card without paying its mana cost, such as with cards with Cascade Violent Outburst, Cipher Stolen Identity or Omen Machine, can you choose to play a card with Morph face-down?So you play them as 2/2 face-down to keep the identity hidden.
What about cards with Suspend? Could you choose to play the Suspend cost for free instead of just playing it? (if you want it suspended for later)

Casting a spell "without paying its mana cost" is actually casting it for an alternative cost. Casting a morph creature face down for 3 is also an alternative cost. You can't choose both alternative costs.
