Alright, I did not know if Megamorph fell under the Morph umbrella or not.

@ShadowZ. Even without looking through the comprehensive rules, your Gatherer link for the Dancer says "Megamorph is a variant of the morph ability. You can find more information on morph on cards with morph from the Khans of Tarkir set."

@arthur I did not read too much on Stratus Dancer as it was just meant to be an example of Megamorph, and I instead focused on reading about the Master of the Veil instead, checking it's gatherer page more. My bad, it was a mistake/oversight on my part.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-09-03)

Assuming I have [Master of the Veil](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bMaster%20of%20the%20Veil%5d) face down and [Stratus Dancer](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bStratus%20Dancer%5d) face up, can I flip Stratus Dancer back over with Master of the Veil? I do not know of Megamorph falls under Morph. Are they completely different, or is Megamorph and instance of Morph?

[Master of the Veil](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bMaster%20of%20the%20Veil%5d) is able to turn [Stratus Dancer](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bStratus%20Dancer%5d) facedown.

Rule **702.36b** defines Megamorph as a morph variant, and so [Master of the Veil](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bMaster%20of%20the%20Veil%5d)'s oracle'd ability can target a face up [Stratus Dancer](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bStratus%20Dancer%5d).
