About Mastery of the Unseen

Mastery of the Unseen, Enchantment, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.66.

A deck that focuses on manifesting and turning face-up creatures would benefit from Mastery of the Unseen, particularly in a white-based strategy with a good number of creatures to maximize life gain. While Mastery of the Unseen can be a solid inclusion in such a deck, depending on the overall strategy, there may be better options like Trail of Mystery or Whisperwood Elemental that offer additional benefits or synergies. Ultimately, the decision to include Mastery of the Unseen would depend on the specific goals and synergies of the deck in question.

Rules

11/24/14

A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent, as well as Auras and Equipment that were attached to the permanent, aren’t affected.

11/24/14

At any time, you can look at a face-down permanent you control. You can’t look at face-down permanents you don’t control unless an effect allows you to or instructs you to.

11/24/14

Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it’s turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn’t cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.

11/24/14

If a manifested creature would have morph if it were face up, you may also turn it face up by paying its morph cost.

11/24/14

Some older Magic sets feature double-faced cards, which have a Magic card face on each side rather than a Magic card face on one side and a Magic card back on the other. The rules for double-faced cards are changing slightly to account for the possibility that they are manifested. If a double-faced card is manifested, it will be put onto the battlefield face down. While face down, it can’t transform. If the front face of the card is a creature card, you can turn it face up by paying its mana cost. If you do, its front face will be up. A double-faced permanent on the battlefield still can’t be turned face down.

11/24/14

The face-down permanent is a 2/2 creature with no name, mana cost, creature types, or abilities. It’s colorless and has a converted mana cost of 0. Other effects that apply to the permanent can still grant or change any of these characteristics.

11/24/14

You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can easily be differentiated from each other. You’re not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield in order to confuse other players. The order they entered the battlefield should remain clear. Common methods for indicating this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield. You must also track how each became face down (manifested, cast face down using the morph ability, and so on).
