About Watcher of the Roost

Watcher of the Roost, Creature — bird soldier, designed by Jack Wang first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.35.

Watcher of the Roost would be a good fit for a white-based aggro or midrange deck in Magic: the Gathering, providing a flying threat that can also gain you life when turned face up. While there may be more powerful cards available for similar mana costs, Watcher of the Roost's flexibility with morph and its life gain ability could make it a solid inclusion in decks looking for a versatile creature option.

Rules

09/20/14

At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can’t look at face-down spells or permanents you don’t control unless an effect instructs you to do so.

09/20/14

Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it’s turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn’t cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.

09/20/14

If a face-down permanent leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or if the game ends.

09/20/14

Morph lets you cast a card face down by paying , and lets you turn the face-down permanent face up any time you have priority by paying its morph cost.

09/20/14

When the spell resolves, it enters the battlefield as a 2/2 creature with no name, mana cost, creature types, or abilities. It’s colorless and has a converted mana cost of 0. Other effects that apply to the creature can still grant it any of these characteristics.
