Face-down creatures flipped by Ixidron are nearly impossible to track

[Samthere]

While you're not allowed to look at the opponents' face-down cards, you are supposed to know what they are and be able to track which is which. The current implementation instantaneously replaces the card's object number with an assigned [H#] number.

Either the game log should clearly note which card became which as it flipped down, or it should just allow you to see what they are if they were already face-up.

@tool4ever i need to check the rules, i think exiled face down cards, are are allowed to view once you have seen them

i need to check if the same is true for face down cards on the battlefield

@tool4ever can you check this? there should be a way when you shortly allowed to look at a face down card, then it should create an a timestamp that you can continue to look at that face down card

[tool4ever]

Hmn, it already works fine for permanents you control Since technically for other players you aren't allowed to look I only see logging as improvement 🤔

The rule i was remembering only applies for exiled face down cards

406.3. Exiled cards are, by default, kept face up and may be examined by any player at any time. Cards “exiled face down” can’t be examined by any player except when instructions allow it. However, if a player is instructed to look at a card and then exile it face down, or once a player is allowed to look at a card exiled face down, that player may continue to look at that card as long as it remains exiled, even if the instruction allowing the player to do so no longer applies.
