Vesuvan Shapeshifter & creatures

So let's say I have an Ixidron in play already. I play a Vesuvan Shapeshifter, targetting my Ixidron. Do I get to turn my face-up morph creatures face-down?

What happens then if I have a face-down Vesuvan Shapeshifter and I target Ixidron as I turn it face-up?

What if I have some creatures with come-into-play triggers already in play, and I target one of them using Vesuvan Shapeshifter (either by playing or morphing it)?

Because if it works the way I think it does then I have an idea for a funny deck. Razz

you "choose" your ixidron
and the shapeshifter comes into play as a copy
so you put all other creatures face down

What happens then if I have a face-down Vesuvan Shapeshifter and I target Ixidron as I turn it face-up?

nothing special happens
it does not come into play and therefore not trigger that effect

only if you play the shapeshifter he is coming into play, so only that will triggers cip´s

Since we're on the topic of morph creatures, I heard that in tournaments you cannot purposely confuse your opponent by shuffling the position of your face-down cards.

Example: I have an Exalted Angel and Echo Tracer in play face-down. Due to an earlier play the opponent already knows which is which. Is it true that I cannot do anything to confuse him? Is this considered as poor gamesmanship?

yes, you may not shuffle around the creatures with morph
just about everrythign in magic has an order and must be maintained.
ie. you cant shuffle ur gy, they must stay in the way they hit.

Worse, you gotta make clear which of the morph creatures cane imto play first, since it makes a difference in deciding which to kill.

So you just put the one most recently played to the left, or summat.

So in my case I can't move my creatures around to protect my Exalted Angel if he knows which one it is? Sheesh... Rolling Eyes
