Morphic Tide is a distinct Phenomenon card from the 2016 Planechase Anthology Planes set, designated as card number 3 in the OPCA series. As a core component of the Planechase format, this card introduces a dramatic shift in gameplay that alters the board state for all participants. When encountered, it triggers a massive reshuffle: every permanent owned by each player returns to their respective library. This chaotic event is immediately followed by a reveal phase where players look at the top cards of their libraries, putting artifact, creature, land, and planeswalker cards directly onto the battlefield. Enchantment cards are then similarly revealed and placed into play, while any remaining cards are shuffled to the bottom of the library in any order before the phenomenon ends. The 0 mana value allows it to be encountered early in the game, often serving as a pivotal turning point that resets momentum. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering appreciate Planechase Anthology Planes for its unique mechanics that distinguish it from standard Constructed formats. The card's design and rules text reflect the innovative spirit of the Planechase expansion, making it a notable entry for enthusiasts of the game's more experimental formats. For collectors focusing on specific sets or card types, Morphic Tide represents a key element of the 2016 release. Its role in facilitating mass board resets makes it a memorable part of the Planechase experience. Whether you are building a collection of Planar cards or seeking to understand the mechanics of this Phenomenon, this card offers a glimpse into the dynamic gameplay that defines the Planechase Anthology.

When you encounter Morphic Tide, each player shuffles all permanents they own into their library, then reveals that many cards from the top of their library. Each player puts all artifact, creature, land, and planeswalker cards revealed this way onto the battlefield, then does the same for enchantment cards, then puts all cards revealed this way that weren't put onto the battlefield on the bottom of their library in any order. (Then planeswalk away from this phenomenon.)
