Mastery of the Unseen Rules Text & Legality
Whenever a permanent you control is turned face up, you gain 1 life for each creature you control.

Mastery of the Unseen is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard and Pauper.
Mastery of the Unseen Rulings
- Nov 24, 2014 A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent, as well as Auras and Equipment that were attached to the permanent, aren't affected.
- Nov 24, 2014 Any time you have priority, you may turn a manifested creature face up by revealing that it's a creature card (ignoring any copy effects or type-changing effects that might be applying to it) and paying its mana cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
- Nov 24, 2014 At any time, you can look at a face-down permanent you control. You can't look at face-down permanents you don't control unless an effect allows you to or instructs you to.
- Nov 24, 2014 Because face-down creatures don't have names, they can't have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.
- Nov 24, 2014 Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it's turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn't cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.
