If I have a Crucible of Worlds in play and a Zoetic Cavern in my graveyard, can I morph the Cavern?

I was wrong.

Morph also states: "Any effects or prohibitions that would apply to playing a card with these characteristics (and not the face-up card's characteristics) are applied to playing this card."

Which means that Crucible doesn't allow playing 2/2 face-down creatures from GY -> you can't play cavern from Gy with crucible in play.

No, you can't play it face-down with the Crucible.

The first thing you do is turn it face-down, then check to see if you could play it like that. Since it wouldn't be a land face-down you can't play it.

This rule is the exact reason you can play a Zoetic Cavern face-down as an instant with Teferi out.

CrippleFight you should check if your ruling is true before saying it in a furum. You CAN'T play it as a morph.

Funny, i wanted to asnwer this question but wasnt 100% sure, so i asked it on a different forum, some L2 and L3 judges there told me you cant play it because at the time you play it, it is a creature. And Crucible doesnt let you play creatures from the graveyard.
