Given that Leadership Vacuum was spoiled today, I feel like we're not going to get a "turn target creature face down" spell. I still have hope that the effect will appear in the deck somewhere, possibly as a Master of the Veil analog given that the effect wants to go in a deck with other morphs for maximum application but also because it would make the implementation less efficient and thus not a format staple. Thinking about this more, I came up with a commander idea. Given that that deck is sultai, I'm not changing the colors for this proposal.
Rakshasa, the Face Stealer | 2BGU
Legendary Creature — Cat Demon
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player turns a face up nontoken creature they control face down.
When this creature is turned face up, scry 2.
Morph 1U 2/5
Because the morph deck wants to be able to turn its creatures face down and it feels a little bad not doing that cool thing in order to remove an opponent's creature. So this Anowon design. Would people be excited to play this?
Needs a proper name though.
A commander with morph doesn't have the surprise factor and also means you are delayed in deploying the morphs in your deck.
Alternate version:
Rakshasa, the Face Stealer | 2BGU
Legendary Creature — Cat Demon
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player turns a face up nontoken creature they control face down.
When this creature is turned face down, turn all other face down creatures face up. 4/6
The upkeep ability is sweet - both enabling your morph-triggers and working as edict against opponents.
Morph on a commander is neat for cost reduction, but could also make for a neat rattlesnake design e. g. "When ~ is turned face up gain control of target creature attacking you."
Morph could also be used to make the design modal e. g. an ETB effect vs. morph-trigger or X cost on only one of the two.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

I like this card a lot! The only thing I'm not a fan of is his Scry ability and Morph ability. I feel like they're just kind of tacked on for additional value, which is fine, but I think it would be cooler if he did something else more unique.
Other than that, I think the design is great and really spooky. I would play this guy in a heartbeat, as I already am in love with Ixidron.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
