About Formless Genesis
Formless Genesis, Kindred sorcery — shapeshifter, designed by Mark Poole first released in September 2024 in the set Duskmourn: House of Horror Commander and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 format: Legacy. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 6.24.
A deck focused on filling the graveyard with land cards, such as a landfall or self-mill strategy, would benefit from using Formless Genesis in Magic: the Gathering. While the card offers versatility with its changeling ability and deathtouch, there are potentially better options for creating large creatures in green decks, such as Tarmogoyf or Scavenging Ooze, which offer more immediate impact without the need for graveyard setup. However, Formless Genesis could see play in niche strategies that specifically benefit from its unique abilities.
Rules
09/20/2024
A retrace card cast from your graveyard follows the normal timing rules for its card type.
09/20/2024
Casting a card by using its retrace ability works just like casting any other spell, with two exceptions: You're casting it from your graveyard rather than your hand, and you must discard a land card in addition to any other costs.
09/20/2024
Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. It functions in all zones.
09/20/2024
If the active player casts a spell that has retrace, that player may cast that card again after it resolves, before another player can remove the card from the graveyard. The active player has priority after the spell resolves, so they can immediately cast a new spell. Since casting a card with retrace from the graveyard moves that card onto the stack, no one else would have the chance to affect it while it's still in the graveyard.
09/20/2024
The subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A spell or token with changeling is just as much an Elf, a Dwarf, a Sliver, a Goat, a Coward, and a Zombie as it is a Shapeshifter.
09/20/2024
The value of X is determined only once, as Formless Genesis resolves. The token's power and toughness won't change if the number of land cards in your graveyard later changes.
09/20/2024
When a retrace spell you cast from your graveyard resolves, fails to resolve, or is countered, it's put back into your graveyard. You may use the retrace ability to cast it again.
