Shapeshifter's Marrow

Enchantment2 generic manaBlue manaBlue mana

The most blue-aligned way to imagine theft: not a clone you choose, but one your opponent's own library hands you when it slips. The enchantment sits inert until an opponent flips a creature off the top, at which point that card goes to the graveyard and this permanent inherits its identity, surrendering the trigger in the trade. It is denial wearing a transform costume. Every upkeep is a check the opponent runs for you, and when it hits, a creature is stripped from their library and reappears under your control sized to whatever they were drawing into. The design tension is entirely in who controls the timing: you do not pick the moment or the target, so the card reads as patient interference rather than reactive value. That passivity is the cost of acquiring a creature without paying its mana or its color, and of disrupting the opponent's draws while you wait. It works by punishing a known library state rather than answering the board in front of you, and it poses the question blue rarely asks out loud: how large can an enchantment become if it simply waits long enough for someone else to make the decision for it.

Rules text

At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, that player reveals the top card of their library. If it's a creature card, the player puts the card into their graveyard and this enchantment becomes a copy of that card. (If it does, it loses this ability.)
