Say I cast unblinking bleb for its morph cost with knowledge pool in play. It goes into the exiled pool. I or my opponent casts another card and decides to put Unblinking Bleb into play. from exile. Does it enter face down?
thanks

You won't be able to cast Unblinking Bleb from exile using Knowledge Pool for its morph cost. Casting a card for its morph cost is an alternative cost, as is casting a spell without paying its mana cost. You can only do one of those things. If you're casting a card without paying its mana cost, you can't cast it face down, and you can't anyway since the card isn't in your hand (it's exiled).

SyntheticDreamer I think you're confusing it. Here's what happens.
You cast Unblinking Bleb face-down for 3. Knowledge Pool triggers and exiles it. As it is exiled it is turned face-up. Then, if someone casts a spell from their hand and it is exiled with Knowledge Pool, it enters the battlefield face-up.

Yep, because Bleb was never face down to morph, so its morph effect can't happen.
