To cloak a card, put it onto the battlefield face down. It becomes a 2/2 face-down creature card with ward {2} and no name, mana cost, or creature types. It's colorless and has a mana value of 0. Other effects that apply to the permanent can still grant it any characteristics it doesn't have or change the characteristics it does have.
wotc2 Feb 2024
Turning a permanent face up or face down doesn't change whether that permanent is tapped or untapped.
wotc2 Feb 2024
If a face-down creature loses its abilities, it can't be turned face up with a disguise ability because it will no longer have a disguise ability (or a disguise cost) once face up.
wotc2 Feb 2024
You'll still cloak the top card of your library even if Cryptic Coat isn't on the battlefield as its first ability resolves.
wotc2 Feb 2024
If a cloaked creature would have disguise (or morph) if it were face up, you may also turn it face up by paying its disguise (or morph) cost.
wotc2 Feb 2024
If a double-faced card is cloaked, it will be put onto the battlefield face down. While face down, it can't transform. If the front face of the card is a creature card, you can turn it face up by paying its mana cost. If you do, its front face will be up.
