Megamorph
(You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for 
. Turn it face up any time for its megamorph cost and put a +1/+1 counter on it.)When this creature is turned face up, return target card from your graveyard to your hand.
Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 5 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
4 PrecedentsYou compare Den Protector's power to the power of any creature trying to block it only as blockers are assigned. Once Den Protector has been legally blocked by a creature, changing the power of either creature won't change or undo the block.
Megamorph is a variant of the morph ability. You can find more information on morph on cards with morph from the Khans of Tarkir set.
Turning a face-down creature with megamorph face up and putting a +1/+1 counter on it is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
If a face-down creature with megamorph is turned face up some other way (for example, if you manifest a card with megamorph and then pay its mana cost to turn it face up), you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it.
