Nope.

Incidentally, I assume the face-down creature cannot be morphed while Humility is in play. Is that accurate?

I've been operating under the theory that it cannot be morphed.

Um, just to be sure, Shinewend doesn't have his counter, right? Because of Humility?

I believe that it does, since the 1/1 counter is not an ability
Unlike cards with triggered abilities that trigger when they enter the battlefield, cards with this sort of text work so that they can produce an effect as a replacement effect to entering the battlefield. This happens on Painter's Servant, Meddling Mage and many other creatures and is important so that something like Arcbound Worker can have power and toughness when it is on the battlefield so it doesn't die to state based effects. Because this is not a static, triggered or activated ability, Humility does not touch it. The creature isn't even on the battlefield when this effect is happening.

Click to expand...
But that only works because of the wording, right? "Shinewend enters the battlefield with..." What about "when XXXXX enters the battlefield"? Do those work too?

In case it's not blatantly obvious, I don't find Humility all that straightforward anymore...

Regardless, my turn is straightforward.


Untap, upkeep, draw.
Forest.
Nessian Courser.
