This guy is soooo awesome...I thought it would be, like, at least constructed quality, until I saw the "once per turn" clause...but still, it is a very versatile concept, and I really wanna pull one of these

He's not quite Tarmogoyf, but in today's constructed climate, he's pretty close. People played Putrid Leech as a 4/4 for 2; there's no reason they won't play Skinshifter (yeah, he requires a mana investment, but he's also a lot more versatile).

While I don't know what devastating T2 plays there'll be in Innistrad, it's feasible to be able to drop this guy turn 2, tapping out in UG, then on turn 3 swinging for 4 with Mana Leak mana available, and continuing this sort of trend on subsequent turns.

I've got this feeling people are skipping the 'until end of turn' bit - it's still fun, and versatile, but not quite as much so as everyone seems to think.

@ Cetriel

Yes that's how 1/1s work, thank you.

@Cetriel

Damage actually fades at the end of the turn, at the same time Skinshifter goes back to being a 1/1.

@Cetriel

Wrong on #2: During the cleanup step, all "until end of turn" and damage dealt are removed simulatneously. If he's dealt damage, it won't kill him.

514.2. Second, the following actions happen simultaneously: all damage marked on permanents (including phased-out permanents) is removed and all "until end of turn" and "this turn" effects end. This turn-based action doesn't use the stack.

Art is unspeakably wonderful. That plus an amusing and useful ability gets him 5/5 from me.
