Orvar, the All-Form would be a great addition to a deck that focuses on instant and sorcery spells targeting your own permanents, such as a deck centered around flicker effects or token generation. While Orvar has unique abilities that can create value in the right deck, there may be more efficient cards for specific strategies, like Brago, King Eternal for flicker decks or Riku of Two Reflections for token generation. Ultimately, Orvar could see play in a deck looking to capitalize on its shapeshifting abilities and token creation, but its effectiveness would depend on the overall strategy and synergy within the deck.

Rules

05/02/21

As the first triggered ability tries to resolve, the spell that caused it to trigger and that spell’s targets are checked again. Ignore any target of the spell that has left the battlefield by that point. If all of the permanents you controlled that were targets have left the battlefield by that point, the triggered ability will do nothing and no token will be created. If at least one permanent you control that’s a target is still on the battlefield, the triggered ability will resolve, even if that permanent is now an illegal target for the spell.

05/02/21

For the second triggered ability, you can choose any permanent as the target, regardless of who controls it.

05/02/21

If a spell or ability an opponent controls allows or instructs you to choose a card to discard, and you discard Orvar, its last ability will trigger.

05/02/21

If an effect causes a creature with changeling to lose all abilities, it will remain all creature types, even though it will no longer have changeling. This is because changeling applies before the effect that removes it.

05/02/21

If the permanent being copied has in its mana cost, X is 0.

05/02/21

If the permanent being copied is itself a token, the token created by the last ability copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created it.

05/02/21

Orvar’s first triggered ability resolves (if it resolves; see below) before the spell or ability that caused it to trigger.

05/02/21

The subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A creature card with changeling is just as much an Elf, a Dwarf, a Sliver, a Goat, a Coward, and a Zombie as it is a Shapeshifter.
