Note that the duration of Halfdane's ability is until the end of your next upkeep. If Halfdane's ability doesn't get a chance to resolve (because there are no legal targets when it triggers, or because it's countered), then the effect from the previous turn's ability will continue to work through the rest of that upkeep step. Then that effect will wear off, and Halfdane will revert to being 3/3, its printed power and toughness (unless some other effect is modifying what its power and toughness is).

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from ME3 — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #150 of *Masters Edition III*, the set that shipped alongside the September 2009 Masters Edition III release.

Card type: Legendary Creature — Shapeshifter, color identity black/blue/white, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {1}{W}{U}{B} (4 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #27,371 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
