About Illusionary Mask

Illusionary Mask, Artifact, designed by Amy Weber first released in May, 2020 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 9 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 538.93.

This Illusionary Mask card could be beneficial in a deck that focuses on cheating out high-cost creatures early in the game, allowing for unexpected plays and potentially overwhelming the opponent. However, there are more efficient and powerful cards available in Magic: the Gathering that can achieve similar effects with less setup or restrictions, such as Aether Vial or Show and Tell. Overall, while Illusionary Mask has its niche uses, it may not see widespread play in competitive decks due to its limitations and the existence of stronger alternatives.

Rules

10/01/09

While the creature card is face down, it’s a 2/2 creature with no name, mana cost, color, creature type, abilities, or expansion symbol. Since it has no mana cost, its converted mana cost is 0.

10/01/09

You actually cast the card face-down, much as when playing a spell with Morph. It can be responded to and countered.

10/01/09

You can turn a face-down permanent face up if it would have morph while face up. This applies to creatures you cast face down as a result of Illusionary Mask’s effect. The rest of Illusionary Mask’s effect applies to it as well.

10/01/09

You may not turn a face-down spell face up. You may not turn a face-down permanent face up unless it would have morph while face up or an effect specifically allows you to turn it face up. Illusionary Mask’s ability has you turn a face-down creature face up if it would assign damage, deal damage, be dealt damage, or become tapped, but not for any other reason. For example, if you use Illusionary Mask’s ability to cast a black creature face down, you can’t turn it face up just because it’s being targeted by Terror.

10/04/04

Only the controller of the face down creature can look at it.

10/04/04

The creature enters the battlefield face down, so none of its “enters the battlefield” abilities will trigger or have any effect. Also none of its “As this enters the battlefield” abilities apply.
