Rules Change Makes the Best Blue Creature Obsolete #mtg

Dive into the story of Morphling, once the best creature in Magic The Gathering. 🃏✨

This video explores the shift in MTG’s landscape after the 2009 rules change that turned Morphling from an invincible force to a mere memory in players’ collections.

🔥 Before 2009: Morphling was Dominant, it reigned supreme with its ability to assign damage and then morph into a different form, evading the very damage it dealt.

It was the epitome of strategy and power on the MTG battlefield.

⚖️ The 2009 Rules Update altered the way damage was assigned - this pivotal moment in MTG history rendered Morphling’s unique advantage obsolete.

🎥 Join us as we unravel the sad story of Morphling, by taking a look back at its glory days, and an analysis of the rules that changed it all.

I remember running into Morphling after a Unexpected Results. Being able to untap for a single blue when you run Experiment Kraj is worth the 5 mana.

Man aetherling was pure gas during RtR i miss those days. Elspeth, aetherling, supreme verdict good times.

Morphling feels due a new retrain card by now, surprised the less iconic psychatog got one before it got another since aetherling fell off the face of the earth seemingly.
Also feels odd that we didn't see a chronatog or atog retrain or reference along with psychic frog in mh3, while I cannot think of pun names for them I can see interesting ways they could be remade especially chronatog as I could see it taking bits of inspiration from the stasis decks it was played in as well as the other calssic turn skip blue card meditate.

Morphling is really good in Mairsil EDH

As a newer player it's definitely hard to understand these interactions. Super cool though
