switching board placement of morph

Asked by LordArazeal 9 years ago

If i have 2 morph cards morphed on the field, is it legal for me to do a sort of shell trick to confuse my opponent as to which is which? this comes up when dealing with Mischievous Quanar or a morph commander such as Akroma, Angel of Fury .

if i remorph the quanar, can i then shuffle it around with my morphed Ascending Aven or whatever so they don't know which to Shock ?

No you may not, in fact this is explicitly against the rules:

• 707.6. If you control multiple face-down spells or face-down permanents, you must ensure at all times that your face-down spells and permanents can be easily differentiated from each other. This includes, but is not limited to, knowing the order spells were cast, the order that face-down permanents entered the battlefield, which creature attacked last turn, and any other differences between face-down spells or permanents. Common methods for distinguishing between face-down objects include using counters or dice to mark the different objects, or clearly placing those objects in order on the table.

GreatSword is correct. Always, as a more general rule when it comes to questions about "tricking" or "confusing" your opponent about the game state or what is happening: No, you can't do that. The Comp rules and the Tournament rules are filled with rules that prevent people from playing word games and doing tricky things because they want the game to be about skill and strategy and not "How can I confuse my opponent to gain an advantage?".
