MTG Commander 2019 spoilers: Morph, Faceless Menace deck

February 2023 · 2 minute read

Seeking to improve upon previous preconstructed decks, Magic: The Gathering Faceless Menace with the Morph mechanic in the new Commander 2019 set holds its own against the meta.

The mechanic Morph was first officially revealed in the Onslaught set, allowing players to pay three mana to cast a card that enters the battlefield face down. It’s a two/two colorless creature that can be turned face up for a Morph cost.

In addition to Morph, there’s also Megamorph which has additional triggers attached to the card when it’s activated to turn up. 

Faceless Menace deck

The Faceless Menace preconstructed MTG Commander 2019 deck is led by Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer and contains a total of 68 reprints and 17 new cards. 

Included in the deck are powerful cards like Vraska, the Unseen (Mythic Rare) planeswalker, and two other commander cards—Volrath the Shapestealer and Rayami, First of the Fallen. The additional commanders don’t exactly fit the Morph theme but bring their own abilities to the deck, making it well rounded while increasing its power.

Volrath the Shapestealer is all about counter-strategy, able to become any creature that has an existing counter on it. Rayami, First of the Fallen is the first Green vampire who steals the abilities of other creatures. Combined with the Morph theme, and Faceless Menace becomes a legit threat against other Commander decks in the meta.
