What happens if you use liquimetal coating on a face up creature and then turn it face down (with ixidron for example)? Is it still an artifact?

What if you liquimetal coating a face down morph creature and turn it face up? Is it still an artifact?

Yes to both. Continuous effects, like Liquimetal Coating, are always applied on top of the base characteristics of the creature. The face-down or face-up status ties into rules that define the base characteristics of the creature (printed or standard morph package). Everything else applies on top of that.

I had initially thought it wouldn't since it becomes a 2/2 creature with no color or other types, but I guess that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. I'd had this question on my phone for a while now. Can finally close that window.
