Rulings
  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    The creatures can’t attack until you start a turn with them under your control. So you can’t swap and then attack.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    The exchange fails if either target is not still on the battlefield at that time.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    The exchange fails if either you no longer control your creature or the other creature is now controlled by you.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    The trigger occurs when you use the Morph ability to turn the card face up, or when an effect turns it face up. It will not trigger on being revealed or on leaving the battlefield.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    You choose the two target creatures when the triggered ability is put onto the stack. You do not have to choose Chromeshell Crab. You choose whether or not to do the exchange on resolution.
