Mana Cost?

[Magician]

Hello. I was jsut wondering what the mana cost would be on a flipped creature? And what about Mishra's Factory? Would Engineered Explosives destroy it? Thanks

You mean the flip cards from Kamigawa? I've asked before (http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6756), the converted mana cost is the same.

Mishra's Factory's converted mana cost is 0, as is all lands' converted mana cost, however Engineered Explosives says non land permanent. Something like Pernicious Deed, on the other hand, states creatre specifically and destroys Mishra's Factory.

No I mean morph

Thank you about the Factory question.

Converted mana cost of morphed creatures is 0.

[Magician]

OK

Converted mana cost of morphed creatures is 0.

This is not technically true. They don't have a mana cost, which usually works the same.

Actually, you're both correct. No mana cost, converted mana cost 0.

OOh, you learn something new every day. :smile:

Generally speaking, IIRC, if a card doesn't have a certain attribute then it's treated as having zero. If a card ever wants to know the power or toughness of a noncreature card, the game returns a value of 0. Same with CMC of a land, token, or morph (in most cases - certain copy effects can give these cards nonzero CMCs).
