Flip him up to copy a chronozoa, if you get Wrathed then you will get 2 cronozoas because it died when it didn't have any counters on it.

The only "true" shapeshifter in Magic.

Except for the small issue of vanishing is terribad.

You sack to vanishing as soon as it has no counters on it, because unlike fading, it doesn't take going through your upkeep to kill it, as soon as the last counter is removed, it dies.

So it would look something like this, Flip in response to wrath (on top of the first chronozoa's vanishing trigger), dies as state base effect because it doesn't have counters, two tokens come into play, wrath resolves, tokens die.

Unless you're doing this with a chronozoa with counters on it still, which wouldn't give you tokens at all.

Nonetheless, it doesn't work.

On a side note, Woodripper is great in EDH, not only take out three pesky artifacts, but it stays on board as a blocker until it goes through your upkeep. fading > vanishing.

Ruling question - Let's say I morph to a Faceless Butcher and eat the face of your Blightsteel Colossus. Then I turn the shapeshifter back down. The Faceless Butcher is still in play but hasn't got the abilities of a butcher any more? so does the colossus come back or not?

One of my favorite clones... combines Vesuvan Shapeshifter with the always fun Morph mechanic. 5/5. Perfect design. Malleable to the opponent's plays.

A true shapeshifter! You can have it become a new creature every turn. Just don't flip it when there's nothing else to copy...

Does it remain a copy of the card even when it goes to the graveyard?

My favorite clone by far. I run at least 1 in any deck that has blue in it. Also it's about the only morph creature I use regularly. Have had lot of great times with this guy.

This morphing triggers "enter battlefield" abilities from the copied creature?
