Wizards of the Coast evolved the Magic: The Gathering Morph mechanic into Disguise for the Murders at Karlov Manor set, potentially changing up the pace and Limited gameplay styles in Draft and Sealed.
Information is one of the strongest weapons within a TCG game like Magic. The Disguise mechanic from Murders at Karlov Manor (MKM)Â removes information from the board, giving its controller a slight advantage. A Disguised card in MTG is turned face down on the battlefield when cast for three mana of any color. Once on the battlefield, the card can be flipped up (this doesn’t trigger ETB effects) for its mana cost at Instant speed. Like other Instant removal spells and combat tricks, a Disguised creature can potentially disrupt the board state during combat.Â
All MTG Disguise cards from Muders at Karlov Manor ranked for Draft and Prerelease
The MKM set brings about a new playstyle to the MTG Limited format, and it’s not through the usual Draft and Sealed bombs, although there are a few that can warp the meta. Morph, Disguise, and Cloak all allow a card to enter the battlefield face-down. These cards are protected by Ward Two and can flip upright at any time. Many have abilities that synergize with the MTG mechanic Disguise, so knowing the best from Draft Chaft is important when playing at MKM Prerelease events or through Draft and Sealed tournaments.
