This card was good long ago and is fun in casual games, but its just bad competitively. It costs FIVE. Jace 2.0 costs 1 less and is much stronger, yet even it sees little Legacy play due to casting cost. In Vintage you can either pay 3UU for a 3/3 creature that sits there for a turn then hits for 5 or put Tezz into play, find Time Vault, and win next turn.

It was good in its time, but that time has long since passed. This thing is pretty much irrelevant in today's MTG environment.

Art: 5/5 Pro: Versatility, THE ULTIMATE GOD OF BLUE Cons: Nerf by M10 Rulz, but still one of the best Top5 creature in Magic History Overal Rating:5/5

  -- By Seifer from Canada on August 02, 2010

GREAT blue creature card. Can't be easily destroyed because it can't be target of spells or abilities, and don't forget this card enter in control decks with many counterspells....EXCELENT CARD

5 out of 5 automatically. Some of you guys need realize that no, and I emphasize No, creature is invulnerable. Yes I lived to see my Superman leave the table many times. Sometimes in the same game with my oath/engine deck. And with all the ways to get high casting cost creatures on the table in magic I can't say hes the best creature ever, can you say recurring nightmare/spirit of the night,"AHHHH!". However, He IS a game winner. Not really a game changer.

Morphling is very much alive in Vintage today! Two things win Type 1--speed & versatility. What Superman lacks in casting speed, he makes up in versatility!

This was one of the the best creatures in the game for a long time, but it just cant cut it anymore. We are in the age of Dark Confidant, Tarmogoyf, and Quasali Pridemage now: cheap creatures that can swing games with power, abilities, or both. Morphling will still show up in some MUC Legacy lists now and then, but is strictly inferior to Tezzeret in Vintage.

Anyone who dosen't give this 5 stars, does not understand this card. It is so hard to get rid of. The easiest way is like wrath of god, but still this card is so awesome. Try facing it a few times and see how long it takes you to get rid of it, if you get rid of it. By the way, this is a 13 year old speaking who knows more about this game than some of you who are giving this card 1 - 2 stars.

  -- By jon from Dartmouth, MA USA on February 06, 2010

A 3/3 for 5 mana is NOT the best creature in the game. It's not even good. So what if it has a bunch of other abilities? You have to spend more mana on each one, and none of them are powerful enough to really make a difference in the game. The only amazing thing about this card is how amazingly over rated and under useful it is.

  -- By Mark from Marshfield, Wisconsin on January 14, 2010

Morphling helps me with all of life's problems and gives conciliatory advice when I need it.

  -- By Ben from Massachusetts on November 10, 2009

Why this card is so good? Because IT"S BLUE! anything that would kill all creaturs, blue can counter it (wog, damnation & friends) anything that would kill it, morphling can ignore it. combine it with hermetic study, and you got a sweet untargetable machine gun! Very powerful indeed!

  -- By m o x e o u s from Indonesia on October 18, 2009

You can still use all of Morphlings activated abilities even if there is 'Cannot be the target of spells or effects' active on Morphling. None of Morphlings abilities actually target itself.

  -- By Level 3 Judge from Brisbane Australia on September 22, 2009

I have a question, if you put Zephid´s Embrace on morphling, it becomes a 5/5 super morphling lol, but zephid´s embrace say "Enchanted creature get +2/+2, gains flying and cannot be target of spells or habilities", last thing it says, "cannot be target of spells or habilities" is someting morphling can do with no need of zephid´s embrace. The question is, if morphling can´t be target of spells or habilities, can it be target of his oun habilities souch gain flying or get +1/-1 or -1/+1?

  -- By David from Mexico on September 07, 2009

This is basically the best creature in the game. In a control deck it will win the game by itself and its versatility makes it a star player. In the right deck playing this card will win you the game 90% of the time.

  -- By Orestes Peristeris from Johannesburg, South Africa on December 02, 2008

ok he's tough.........but is it in any vintage decks? not that i've scene. Magic is fun, but i wana win and this sucks all mana from your game plan. anyone interested in some competitive ass kicking, cleaning up and asking who's next ??? ...... isn't using this guy. Ever here about efficiently putting the "best" creature down? and laughing? Dreadnought anyone? stifle/illusionary mask...... ??? yeah i know its a 2 card combo, and this morphling is stand alone, but please ...... by the 4th or 5th turn i'm usually aware of winning or losing, and this guy wouldn't make a difference ..... TRAMPLED with counter back up baby

  -- By JB from NJ on July 27, 2008

I give this one star simply because it is sooo overrated. 5 mana for a 3/3 even with so many useful abilities(that are also mana intensive) is not that great. Control decks may use this well, however I still think it is too slow and too underpowered to be worth anything close to what it is. Not a bad card, but not nearly as special as it's price would indicate. How many top-ranked type 1.5 decks use this?

Morphling is an expensive magic card. It is also hard to find.

  -- By Kieran Hynes from Brookfield,Illinois on February 20, 2007

there is no creature like morphling. it earns the superman title from the shear scope of it's ablities. cards like serra angel are popular because they play offense and defense... morphling does this and more. it can't be killed by any creature with less than 6 power and can switch from and 5/1 to a 0/6 when damage is on the stack it flys over defenders if there are any and shruggs off targeted removal. and after all of this it come's back and plays defence agaist 90% of the creatures in magic. as long as there is mana to fuel it be it cloudpost or tron it is invinceable it is definitely blue's best creature and might be the best creature ever. it remains to be seen if it's little brother torchling can live up to the legacy but if you have a blue deck that consitantly gets tron on the field you can't go wrong adding morphling unless, that is you already have 4 faster than a speeding bullet. more powerful than a locomotive. able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. yeah that sounds about right.

  -- By Anonymous from Oakland CA USA on February 09, 2007

This creature is bent, broken and what ever other term you can think of for a card that should never have been made. This card is a game changer.

This card i a MUST in all cleab blue decks! It Rocks!

  -- By Anonymous from Denmark on July 11, 2005

Anybody who thinks Morphling sucks needs to get across the table from one. Morphling can't be killed by anything short or Non-Targeted removal and/or Mass Removal, Untaps after kicking your ass, Becomes a 5/1 then pumps to a 0/x (Depending on how much mana you have) to live through blocking. If you live when a Morphling is on the table it can only be two things. Either you have completly swarmed your opponent before the Morphling hit the table, or your opponent just totally sucks at Magic. Morphling is the most efficient creature in Magic, PERIOD.

  -- By Anonymous from Barrie, On, Canada on March 11, 2005

i just cant believe nobody has anything to say about the best creature in magic i use three in every deck i build and usually its my only kill but 99% of the time the morphling wins me the game the other 1% the opponent quits after i get my orims chant on the stick (isochron scepter)

  -- By tony g from kewanee il on November 22, 2004

I do not personally endores this creature at all, but I will admit it would probably make any short list. I think it is horrendously powerful, but not as great as all the hype and buzz around it. It can be summed up in four words: Slow, inefficient and high-maintenence. Slow is for the fact it costs 5 to cast, inefficient is for the fact is is only a 3/3 for 5 mana, and high-maintenence is for the fact that its abilities must be fueled with turn-depleting mana to work. If you want this guy to be safe, you basically have to play him on turn 6 otherwise you'll have no mana open to make it untargetable, and then you'll play someone like me who'll incinerate it outta here. Great, but not GREAT

  -- By Nick from Tampa on November 01, 2004

This is probably one of the ten best creatures in Magic, I think. It's worse than Exalted Angel, but better than Spirit of the Night. It works great in mono-blue decks, behind sixteen or twenty counterspells, and equally that much bounce, removal and card drawing. However, this little man can't do much against a pumped piledriver or berserked tog. I'd rather have a grim lavamancer than one of these, and I could get 4 lavamancers for the same price as 1 morphling.

  -- By Ben from Canada on October 30, 2004

Best creature in magic, without a doubt people just give up as soon as it hit play

  -- By Charles Scourbys from Cresco, PA on October 06, 2004

one of the best all around creatures in the game and perhaps the best creature in the game.

  -- By Kevin Liu from Las Vegas, NV USA on August 19, 2004

I love you morphling. you are my hero and my pride and joy. you helped me out in a pickle more than once and i want to give you a big hug.

  -- By Bob Hope from Anal dwelling monkey ville on July 12, 2004

this card is very good, and cant be compared to many creatures. i can think of only a few, spiritmonger, masticore, psychatog. to much. you people cant take removal into effect when judging this, because removal can kill any creature. just because superman can be killed by a terror, dosen't mean that its worse than a serra avater, because that is also susecptable

  -- By Anonymous from usa on April 30, 2004

it is ok but with 3 mana you can kill it

  -- By Anonymous from pa on April 23, 2004

Very over rated card and deffinetly easily taken care of if your a good player

  -- By Bob from PA , U.S.A on April 03, 2004

I loathe blue, and I loathe Morphling (although I do realize it ranks among the top creatures in Magic) but there are several ways to kill a (several) Morphling(s). WoG, Pernicious Deed (which I use and prefer), Nevinyrral's Disk, etc. etc. so on and so forth. I've shut down my brother's Morphling/Counter deck with BoP's. A good card though. Truely the best blue creature, but I'd rather have an Exalted than a Morphling. Remember it's all personal preference.

  -- By Greg from Canada on November 05, 2003

There's nothing like playing Morphling with the Moxes and Tolarian Accademy. Other creatures are so limited!

  -- By Richter from Lyon, FRANCE on September 16, 2003

Morphling has to be one of the best creatures around, color notwithstanding. I use him in my Horseshoe Crab pinger deck and he works out GREAT. Multiple abilities, plus with Hermetic Study and Psionic Gift, makes him VERY formidable in any deck you choose, particularly control. Add to the mix that he is not even a LEGEND! Best creature, hands down!

  -- By Cyber Urza from Port Jervis, NY on February 11, 2003

Good solid creature. But I am rating the product, and I must say this product sucks. It doesn't come in foil, and they dont sell it in foreign. Also, it is not unbeatable like some of you make it out to be. I have run Control for about six months now in a Type 1 powered environment. He is easily killed or shut down. Another morphling shuts him down, an edict shuts him down, and Sacred Mesa mops the floor with him.

  -- By Ben from Minnesota, Type 1 Central on February 10, 2003

Here me out:It is an incredible card.It would be easy to kill if blue didn't get all of that powerful counter backup. But the incredible and unbalancing affect makes me rate this 1 less than a 5 star. I play MTG not to win, but win in a fun, creative way. Casting this and waggling Counterspells and winning isn't my idea of a fun time. Plus, he gets hyped because it is a blue card that serves as the kill for control decks. If it was any other color it wouldn't be valued at what it is. If it was white people would be loathe to touch it.

  -- By Hunter from Two Rivers Wisconsin on February 07, 2003

basically untargetable best creature in the game, best color in the game thats a fact

  -- By Anonymous from Stevens Point, WI USA on November 06, 2002

this card is not as good as everyone says it is. I get rid of this card too easily. This card never once scared me when my opponent played it. normally when it attacked, I had ways of giving my creatures flying, and pumping them. or I just force them to sacrifice the creature. I'm not fond of the creature, but I'm not a big time blue player.

IT SUCKS WHATS SO GOOD ABOUT IT ..... terror, WOG,Mutilate, and so many other cards can kill it.... not best creature at all i think it sucks and it overrated you people are just plain dumb.

  -- By Anonymous from STERLING WHITES on October 11, 2002

Morphling is a great blue card probably the best blue creature but since some of the new kill cards have come out it makes him hard to stay alive if u run out of counters lets say u have just morph out and u only have 1 land left to make him untargetable if you use chainers edict or diabolic edict he will die no matter what because it is not targeting him but all in all i have to give wizzards credit for creating this card.

Superman.

  -- By Anonymous from Berkshire, England on August 27, 2002

one of the best creatures, not the best, best in blue, easily, definetly. Blue is powerful enough without giving it solid creatures like morphling. there is only two creaturesi would give 5 stars, morphling and masticore. Why are these cards so broken?

its way too good. it is the best creature ever made, and can do almost anything. by the way, this can be used like horshoe crab, but who would want to when it can do so much more by itself?

  -- By jolt88 from Boston, MA USA on March 22, 2002

this card was made to help the kickass deck by the name of turbo oath.that is the best way to use morphling

  -- By Ryan from Sparta,TN USA on February 07, 2002

With morphling, i can play with stasis without any problem... and there are a lots of combo with this card... and just because it can untap with one mana blue.... I can also attack if a boost it and if the guy have a goblin deck or anything like that, my morphling can won flying... and.. if an opponent is not happy and want to terminate or terrorise my beautiful morphling, i can pay one mana and poufff Morphling survive.... mouhahahaha I like very much this card.... TIPS: If u have a blue deck... put Morphling in..

  -- By Old Man from Stè-Adele, Qc CANADA on November 21, 2001

Too Bad Morphling Exist. What was Wizards thinking???! It bad enough when WOTC made the game that had to make broken cards like Ancestrial Recall and Time Walk but now they come up with Morphling which is a God creature. I could understand if Morphilng was made in the early days of magic with all the other broken cards but this is like a blast from the past. Needless to say this creature gets 5 stars because of its inablity to die to anthing short of a wrath of God and its overwhelming buffness (aka 5 great activated abilities).

  -- By Nicholas Schreck from Saint Joseph, MO USA on July 13, 2001

This creature is probably the best creature ever printed for control decks. If you have Morphling on the table, you can beat almost anything with enough mana. Morphling can be a 5/1 attacker one turn, a 0/6 blocker the next. When backed up with countermagic, it will end the game in 4 attack phases without a doubt. There is no reason to give Morphling anything less than 5 stars, as it has proved itself in every format from Type 1 to Extended to Type II (back when it was legal). A definite no-brainer for blue control decks, Survival decks, and Oath decks.

  -- By Tim Destan from Gilbertsville, PA USA on June 26, 2001

Without a doubt, this is the best creature ever made. There is absolutely nothing Morph can't do, and no other card or effect can get in his way. No wonder he's called Superman.
