About Unstable Shapeshifter

Unstable Shapeshifter, Creature — shapeshifter, designed by Terese Nielsen first released in Oct, 1997 in the set Tempest. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.60.

A deck focused on creature-heavy strategies, such as a tribal deck or a deck with powerful enter-the-battlefield effects, would benefit from including Unstable Shapeshifter. However, a more competitive option might be the card Clever Impersonator, which allows you to choose what you copy and doesn't come with the drawback of losing its ability. While Unstable Shapeshifter can be fun and flavorful, its unpredictability may not make it a top choice for competitive play.
