I agree they don't do much, but they filled the gaps I needed to secure wins on ladder. Most losses (other than Helio mirrors) were to rakano or to stacking double damage on a lethal burn spell -- cases where a 1/1 body that manafixes for 1 and instant speed aegis are godsends.
Mortarion Edited Eternal Version: 20.07.16
Agreed, in this current state I would take transpose over etchings any day, and fixing is wonderful. Helps prevent being 'stuck'. If you're trying to aggro/tempo, etchings can just slow ya down.

I firmly stand on them both being unplayable. Agree to disagree.
Raven333 Eternal Version: 20.07.16
Hm Shifting Illusion is kind of bad card itself, but not unplayable. This is because of how good Uleo (and a Learned Imitator that acts as Uleo from market) are. Having that extra flier in a competitive match is clutch. So even though it looks unplayable because the card itself isn't broken, it enables a broken card and medicore players won't see it coming, good players will be forced to waste cards on it and make sub-optimal plays. Shifting illusion is good enough, because Uleo. 4x Uleo makes all 1-3 mana fliers playable.

The etchings are win-more cards. You have to have a dude on the board and be willing to rest it for 1 turn. That means you are really ahead if you can and want do both. Transpose seems like a sucky card, esp with so many ways for mono primal to gain face aegis. But as the meta tends to speed up to aggro, breaking weapons, gaining face aegis sooner than later is clutch. Also Learned Imitator is a 4 mana so she fits in nicely.
