Attempting to fix this card..

Break Open 1Red, instant

Turn target face-down creature face up. Break Open does 4 damage to you.


This way you could use it to accelerate your own game/ morph in an emergency for the morph effect, and Red has a history of being reckless and gambling with damage.

After so long, I have found the truth! The real reason that this card's rating is so low is because it is a hard counter t-ALL HAIL THE GREAT LORD EGOTIST!

@EGarrett01

It's the morph creature shell. He's bashing open the morph creature. You see the morph creature in the art of most creatures with it, it's supposed to be what they look like morphed. You can see it in a few other cards.

This card is good when my opponent plays his turn 2-3 2/2 morph creature, and you really really want to see if its red Akroma or not.

I ate this card. Not 'hate', I literally cooked one and ate the entire thing. It was a dare. It didn't taste great, even with hot-sauce.

I am with 'metalevolence' here. I think this card's best use is to Bazaar Trader your opponent a face-down Unstable Hulk, then break it open to get an extra turn.

T1: Mountain, anything.
T2: Bazaar Trader
T3: Morphed hulk, trade it to your opponent
T4: Break open.

Its slow, clunky, and convoluted, but its as good as I can come up with. I may try to make this into a deck.

This card isn't about flipping your opponent's morphed creature. It's about learning what it is. It's like a card that reads
"Look at target opponent's hand. That player must cast a spell from their hand without paying its mana cost if able."
The benefit is in revealing what it is, not in flipping it. Flipping it is an unfortunate side effect. You'd cast it under similar circumstances that you'd play a discard spell when your opponent has an instant you know they can play in their hand. Forcing an action now can be invaluable.
Of course, shock forces your opponent's hand much more effectively, which is why this card should have had a cantrip or something.

Well, if you're playing against someone that you know uses Blistering Firecat, it could actually be useful by requiring them to sacrifice the creature without attacking. They were both printed in the same set, after all. But, then, maybe not as useful as Shock
