Started off as Faceless Menace Morph deck, but I've heavily altered it. It's turned into an incredibly versatile control deck with answers for pretty much everything an opponent could throw at you, while also having many different ways to win.

The deck is practically in it's final form at this point but I'm still testing and and tweaking things until I'm perfectly content with it.

Important things to know about Morph, Manifest, and Face-Down creatures

Not many people actually know how Morph and Manifest work, so here are some rulings that have come up in my games. Not all of them are super important but if you ever use this deck or Morph in general, make sure you AT LEAST know the first rule I've included. This first rule has caused a lot of problems because it's not intuitive, but it IS something that you can heavily abuse.

• Turning a card face up is not an activated ability NOR does it go on the stack (see rule 702.36, it's actually a 'special action'). This means opponents cannot respond to flipping the creature. What they CAN respond to is the triggered abilities that go on the stack as a result of the creature being turned face up. As an example, your opponents cannot respond to Ainok Survivalist being flipped, but they can respond to it's ability that destroys an artifact or enchantment. This lets you get past split second as you aren't putting an activated ability on the stack. This also allows you to get past cards like Damping Matrix, as you aren't using an activated ability.

• The 2/2 face down creatures created by morph and manifest are 'blank'. By that I mean they are colorless, have no name, no subtype, no text, and a CMC of . The only attributes that a face down creature has is that they are 1) a creature, and 2) have a power and toughness of 2/2

• When you cast a morph creature face-down, you pay an alternative cost of and put a 'blank' 2/2 creature on the stack. While on the stack, all rules to normally apply to casting a creature apply to that morph creature

• Flipping a creature does not make it re-enter the battlefield, it stays on the battlefield the entire time

• You can only flip manifested cards if the face down card is a creature (Primordial Mist effectively gets around this)

• If you manifest a card with a morph cost, you can flip it for it's morph cost

• Copying a face-down creature does not copy the other side of the card. All you get is a 2/2 creature that can't do anything

• Whenever a face-down creature leaves the battlefield for any reason (including the game ending), you HAVE to reveal it (this isn't just something you should do, this is literally written in the rules!)

• It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your opponents can tell the difference between your face down creatures. You obviously don't have to reveal them but make sure they know how/when each face-down creature got on the battlefield and answer any such questions your opponents might have about which one is which (again, this is actually in the rules!)

• For any further questions, you can look at Rule 701.34 for Manifest rules, Rule 702.36 for Morph rules, and Rule 707 for Face-Down Spells and Permanents rules as well as individual card rulings on Gatherer.

Cards and synergies that help you reach your combos

This deck usually uses big combos to reach a win state, but there are many different tools that help you get those combo pieces. The two biggest pieces are Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer and Vesuvan Shapeshifter, so make sure you know how they work with the deck.

• Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer lets you cast a free morph creature on each of your turns and draw a card each time a face-down creature is put onto your battlefield. You'll want to get her out as soon as possible so you can start generating value

• Leyline of Anticipation, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, and Vivien, Champion of the Wilds allows you to reap Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer's value on your opponents' turns

• Scroll of Fate gives you more free value off of Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer. You can do this on each of your opponents' turn with Seedborn Muse

• Vesuvan Shapeshifter allows you to repeat "When this creature is turned face up" effects on any of your face up creatures for the low, low price of . It can also make copies of creatures you don't control. Note that it doesn't target, so it gets past hexproof and shroud. This is a very important and good card in this deck, make sure you use it frequently and protect it from your opponents!

• Using Vesuvan Shapeshifter to copy Kheru Spellsnatcher gives you a counterspell with STUPID value

• Seedborn Muse and Wilderness Reclamation ensure you always have mana to flip creatures

• Temur Sabertooth serves two purposes: protection from spot removal and giving you another chance to recast morph creatures face down. If you have enough mana, it can also protect you from board wipes

• Paradoxical Outcome is very effective board wipe protection that lets you draw cards and recast morph creatures face down

• Equilibrium is very effective spot removal while also letting you return morph creatures to your hand so you can recast them

• Crystal Shard lets you return a morph creature to your hand so you can recast it. It can also be used for spot removal but its very ineffective

• Primordial Mist lets you cast any non-creature spells that got manifested

• Telepathy and Dragon's Eye Savants make sure you are always winning the information war

• There are plenty of cards like Aphetto Runecaster and Unblinking Bleb that passively generate value as you do stuff with your morph creatures

Combos that get you to a winning state

• Brine Elemental + Vesuvan Shapeshifter = Opponents lose their untap step

• Ezuri, Claw of Progress + at least 5 experience counters + Sage of Hours = Infinite turns

• 9 or more lands + Turnabout + Mischievous Quanar = Infinite mana

• Having Aphetto Runecaster or Secret Plans on the battlefield while flipping Mischievous Quanar during infinite mana generation = Infinite card draw (make sure you don't deck out because of Secret Plans)

• Forsaken Monument + Basalt Monolith = Infinite (you can make this mana on any turn as long as you protect the two pieces)

• Infinite + Vizier of the Menagerie = Infinite mana of any color

Things that actually win you the game

• Trail of Mystery on board when making infinite mana = Massive Mischievous Quanar

• Ezuri, Claw of Progress can make any creature very large

• Ixidron played at the right time will get pretty big

• Big creature + Whispersilk Cloak or Rogue's Passage

• Unblockable + Tainted Strike

• Lots of mana + Villainous Wealth = Decked out opponents (copying it with Mischievous Quanar can let you deck out all your opponents at once)

• Infinite Mana + Rite of Replication + Mischievous Quanar = Many copies of whatever you want

• Steal opponents' win cons with Villainous Wealth, Thieving Amalgam, Chromeshell Crab, Kheru Spellsnatcher, Ghastly Conscription, or Willbender

• Copy opponents' win cons with Vesuvan Shapeshifter or Rite of Replication

• Be careful using Ixidron. It can easily bring the game to a halt without being able to win you the game. If you use it poorly, your play group will quickly grow to hate it. Only use it if you can win with it or if absolutely necessary

• Rhystic Study would be amazing in this deck but I loath using that card so I haven't included it

• Triumph of the Hordes and Cyclonic Rift would also be great in this deck but they are run too much in my play group so I opted not to add them
