Unblinking BlebHow it works & interactions with other cards

Hiding and Revealing

Unblinking Bleb features the Morph keyword, allowing you to cast it face down as a colorless 2/2 creature for three mana. While it is face down, it has no name, creature types, or abilities. At any point you have priority, you can pay its morph cost of {2}{U} to turn it face up. This action does not use the stack and cannot be responded to, though the scry ability that triggers afterward does use the stack.

Triggering the Scry

The core strength of Unblinking Bleb is its triggered ability: 'Whenever this creature or another permanent is turned face up, you may scry 2.' This triggers the moment the Bleb itself is turned face up, and it continues to trigger for every other permanent you control that is turned face up. Because it says 'permanent' rather than 'creature,' it will also trigger if face-down non-creature cards (such as those from the Manifest mechanic) are turned face up.

Common Mistakes

A common point of confusion is whether Unblinking Bleb triggers when it enters the battlefield. It does not; the permanent must already be on the battlefield in a face-down state and then be turned face up to satisfy the trigger condition. Additionally, if multiple permanents are turned face up simultaneously, you will get a separate scry 2 trigger for each one, allowing you to look at and filter cards between each resolution.

Strategic Implementation

You should play Unblinking Bleb in decks that feature heavy Morph or Disguise themes to maximize the free scry triggers. It serves as an excellent engine to find your win conditions or specific answers while keeping your opponents guessing about your face-down board. Turning it face up during your opponent's end step is a great way to set up your next draw without committing mana on your own turn.

Interaction examples

Self-Activation

You cast Unblinking Bleb face down for {3}. Later, you pay {2}{U} to turn it face up. Because the permanent (Unblinking Bleb) was turned face up, its own ability triggers. You may now scry 2, looking at the top two cards of your library and choosing where to place them.

Chaining Morph Triggers

Morph

With a face-up Unblinking Bleb on the battlefield, you pay the morph cost of a second face-down creature. As that creature turns face up, Unblinking Bleb's ability triggers. You scry 2 before the newly revealed creature's own 'when this is turned face up' abilities (if any) resolve, though you can choose the order if they trigger at the same time.

Doubling the Insight

Roaming Throne

You control Roaming Throne, having chosen 'Illusion' as it entered. When you turn Unblinking Bleb face up, its scry 2 ability triggers. Because Roaming Throne sees an ability of an Illusion triggering, it causes that ability to trigger an additional time. You will resolve two separate scry 2 instances, significantly deepening your library manipulation.
