About Volrath's Shapeshifter

Volrath's Shapeshifter, Creature — phyrexian shapeshifter, designed by Ron Spencer first released in Mar, 1998 in the set Stronghold and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 7.59.

This card would benefit a deck that focuses on graveyard manipulation and creature synergies, allowing for versatility and adaptability based on the top card of the graveyard. While Volrath's Shapeshifter can be a fun and unique addition to such a deck, there are potentially better options like Tarmogoyf or Snapcaster Mage that offer more consistent value and impact in competitive play. However, for a more casual or thematic deck centered around shapeshifting and graveyard interactions, Volrath's Shapeshifter could certainly see play and add an element of surprise to your games.

Rules

10/04/04

If the top card in the graveyard has any other undefined characteristics, then those characteristics are not acquired and the shapeshifter uses the characteristic from its own card.

10/04/04

If the top card in your graveyard isn’t a creature card (meaning a card with the type Creature, which may or may not have other types such as Artifact or Enchantment), then it’s just a 0/1 blue creature. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.

10/04/04

When it changes forms, any “enters the battlefield” abilities of the card it “copies” do not trigger.
