    Illusionary Mask + Nether Void/Standstill

    So does Illusionary Mask still get around Nether Void and Standstill?

    Re: Illusionary Mask + Nether Void/Standstill

    Illusionary "casts" the card and therefor triggers Standstill or Nether Void. Also doesn't gett around e.g. Trinisphere.
    The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
    1. Discuss the unbanning of Land Tax Earthcraft.
    2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
    3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
    4. Stifle Standstill.
    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
    7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).

    Does it cast it using the "morph" mechanic?

    10/1/2009: You actually cast the card face-down, much as when playing a spell with Morph. It can be responded to and countered.

    So you're not actually usiing the morph mechanic since you're not utilizing the ability of a morph-creature to cast it face down. But...in what way does this make a difference?

    Read the (oracle text of) the card. No metion of morph.
    “It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.
