Assuming you cast something that does trigger Artisan of Forms' heroic trigger, and you copy Geralf's Messenger, and it dies as that creature, Undying does trigger when it dies. As you suspect, the Artisan will come back as an Artisan (not the Messenger) because once a card changes zones, it is treated as a new object with no memory of its previous existence.

But it will have a +1/+1 counter from undying, just in case thats missing.
I have Artisan of Form and Scarscale Ritual it copying Geralf's Messenger.
So the Artisaned Messenger dies. What happens?
Does it die, turn back to Artisan of Forms, and nothing happens?
Or does it come back as an Artisaned Messenger, with no counter, and the 2 pt swing?
Thanks..

Thanks for the response.
The Artisan comes back. That's good enough for me.
