Newbie Question: Why are masticore and morphling are supposedly so good? (nt)
Christopher Wiegert
unkillable and can blow away every other creature on the board, while
Morphling is usually a 5/1 flying untargetable beatdown machine. If you
disagree, I will happily take these cards off your hands. :) Oh yes,
and Morphling's untap ability has various very powerful uses.

Masticore is good because first it is a 4/4 for 4 mana. That is a good deal
for an artifact creature. The 2 for regeneration makes it tough to get rid of,
which is something artifacts aren't known for. The 2 to do a point to
creatures give decks that shouldn't be able to deal with weenie creatures and
option. The fact that you must discard a card every turn is made up be the
fact that you can kill maybe 3 or 4 creatures while still beating your opponent
down 4 points a turn.
Morphling is one of the best creatures in the game due to its versatility. You
can make it flying to block a flyer or get some evasion. The untargettability
makes it hard to deal with. And the power/toughness abilities make it able to
win most creature encounters, or deal 5 points a turn. The untapping ability
makes it an easier choice of whether to attack or not. Morphling and Masticore
also allow you to play more lands in your deck without losing too much power
(which is a good thing)
If that doesn't help, just try playing with them. If you don't have any, try
some proxies. You'll understand after a few games.

someone who uses them. When the Masticore clears all his creatures or the
Morphling brushes off virtually all creatures kill, he can see how annoying these
two creatures are. Also, newbies often don't know how to use these two creatures
correctly, trying to cast Masticore on turn 4 (with no elves), or Morphling on turn
5.
