About Orvar, the All-Form

Orvar, the All-Form, Legendary creature — shapeshifter, designed by Chase Stone first released in Jan, 2021 in the set Kaldheim and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 6.07. It's a key card in 22 combos.

Orvar, the All-Form would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on casting instant and sorcery spells targeting your own permanents to create copies for value and synergy. It could work well in a deck with a lot of bounce effects or spells that target your own creatures or artifacts. While Orvar offers unique capabilities, there are potentially better cards like Riku of Two Reflections that provide more versatility and power in a similar strategy, so Orvar may not see widespread play in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.

Rules

02/05/21

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.

02/05/21

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

02/05/21

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.

02/05/21

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.

02/05/21

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

02/05/21

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.

02/05/21

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

02/05/21

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.
