Yeah, the card is just really absurdly designed and overly abusive in practice.

Which is exactly what I figured would happen and was a factor for why it got banned.

I think the answer is no, unless the Morph card was an Artifact or a colorless non-land on it's front side, because most Morph cards are only a colorless spell on the stack, not in any other zone.

I wonder whether mystic forge will find a spot in affinity.

No, because they are still whatever color they are while in your library - but can't hurt to ask :)

Also figure this should be posted up, since it's hits cards you self-discard & cards you're forced to discard.

but, You can probably cast with mystic forge an artifact card that has a morph cost. At the end of the game you'll have to reveal it in order to prove it was an artifact and a morph creature.
However, there are some spells that might shuffle the creature in the Library without letting the opponent see what was the card and that might be a problem so they might want to remove that possibility by creating a special ruling.
Anyone knows what happens when you cast for example totally lost on a morphed creature? does it's owner has to reveal it?
Re: Core Set 2020 Spoilers
Regarding the "it's not colorless in the library"
Quote:
702.36cTo cast a card using its morph ability, turn it face down. It becomes a 2/2 face-down creature cardwith no text, no name, no subtypes, and no mana cost. Any effects or prohibitions that would apply to casting a card with these characteristics (and not the face-up card’s characteristics) are applied to casting this card ...
707.4. Objects that are cast face down are turned face down before they are put onto the stack, so effects that care about the characteristics of a spell will see only the face-down spell’s characteristics. Any effects or prohibitions that would apply to casting an object with these characteristics (and not the face-up object’s characteristics) are applied to casting this object. The permanent the spell becomes will be a face-down permanent

They get revealed:
Quote:
707.9. If a face-down permanent moves from the battlefield to any other zone, its owner must reveal it to all players as theymove it. If a face-down spell moves from the stack to any zone other than the battlefield, its owner must reveal it to all players as theymove it. If a player leaves the game, all face-down permanents and spells owned by that player must be revealed to all players. At the end of each game, all face-down permanents and spells must be revealed to all players.

The problem is that you pay 4 to get them back, which is pretty huge by legacy standards. Also, we already have Shadow of the Grave.

i would look to use it with cards that say Discard X, Draw X. i'm not sure the effect is strong enough. i do like that idea of using it with cycling cards. that's a nice interaction i overlooked.

I was more thinking about LEDs that had been binned earlier in the turn, and getting to use them twice in a turn because their wording avoids Brought Back's ETB tapped restriction, but definitely, it's not as abusable because you can't pay for Brought Back with LEDs and bring back the same ones.

Presumably there are intervening actions that have allowed you to draw/tutor cards resulting in this being in your hand the turn you "go off" but after having used the LED's.
Re: Core Set 2020 Spoilers
I actually missed that stuff comes back tapped. That kind of sucks. Doesn't work with Lotus Bloom then

Could be nice if you go the Past in Flames route.
Something like get 2 leds, flashback Brought Back them leds again... much strom much mana...
But you cant grab it with burning wish so yeah its probaly too cute considering it only works with leds!
Re: Core Set 2020 Spoilers
Brought Back works with 2x Phyrexian Dreadnought, too:
Play both, sacrifice both, bring back, sacrifice one to the other.
But probably not worth the trouble.

I'm loving standard elementals. Will probably creep into modern as a fringe tribal deck.

Do you have a decklist? Risen Reef seems hilarious.

The first list that emerged was this one:
https://twitter.com/Em_TeeGee/status...53647248490497
But now the pro's are all over Omnath/Chandra/Risen Reef/Steamkin Runaway/Nissa (Nissa makes elementals)
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D-bjmIBUcAACbgW.jpg:large
More lists here:

For Modern, Seasoned Pyromancer and Young Pyromancer combine incredibly well with Risen Reef.
Re: Core Set 2020 Spoilers
Speaking of hilarious standard lists, I've been messing around with Dinosaur Domain Golos Field on Arena, and while I wouldn't necessarily say it's good, it's a blast to play.
