About Merfolk Thaumaturgist

This Merfolk Thaumaturgist card could be beneficial in a deck focused on control or tempo strategies in Magic: the Gathering, as it offers a versatile ability to manipulate the power and toughness of creatures on the battlefield. While it may not be a staple card in competitive play, it can be a fun and unexpected inclusion in casual or themed decks. Other similar cards like Inside Out or Twisted Image may offer more immediate or powerful effects for similar mana costs, but Merfolk Thaumaturgist can still find a niche in certain deck archetypes for its unique ability.

Rules

03/19/21

Effects that switch a creature’s power and toughness apply after all other effects, regardless of when those effects began to apply. For instance, if you target a 1/2 creature then give it +2/+0 later in the turn, it’s a 2/3 creature, not a 4/1 creature.

03/19/21

Switching a creature’s power and toughness twice (or any even number of times) effectively returns the creature to the power and toughness it had before any switches.

02/01/07

This is the timeshifted version of Dwarven Thaumaturgist.
