About Shape Stealer

Shape Stealer, Creature — shapeshifter spirit, designed by Jim Nelson first released in Jun, 2005 in the set Saviors of Kamigawa. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.47.

This card, Shape Stealer, would be a great addition to a deck focused on adaptability and versatility, especially in a control or tempo strategy. It can be particularly effective in a deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's combat plans or take advantage of powerful enemy creatures. While there may be other cards with similar effects, Shape Stealer's ability to mimic an opponent's creature's power and toughness can lead to unexpected swings in combat and create advantageous board states. Overall, it could see play in decks looking to capitalize on its unique ability to adapt to different situations on the battlefield.

Rules

06/01/05

If the other creature has bushido, whether Shape Stealer gets the bushido bonus depends on whose turn it is. If Shape Stealer is blocking, it won’t get the attacker’s bushido bonus. If the Shape Stealer is being blocked, the bushido ability will resolve just before Shape Stealer determines what the creature’s power and toughness are.

06/01/05

Once the ability resolves, changing the other creature’s power or toughness doesn’t affect Shape Stealer.

06/01/05

This ability triggers once for each creature blocked by or blocking Shape Stealer. If multiple creatures block it, Shape Stealer’s power and toughness will change for each one in succession. The first trigger put on the stack will be the last to resolve, so that will set Shape Stealer’s final power and toughness.
