The pile is shuffled to disguise from your opponents which manifested creature is which. After you manifest the cards, you can look at them.
wotc · 2014-11-24
If you manifest a card owned by an opponent and you leave the game, that card is exiled.

The face-down permanent is a 2/2 creature with no name, mana cost, creature types, or abilities. It's colorless and has a mana value of 0. Other effects that apply to the permanent can still grant or change any of these characteristics.

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.

If a manifested creature would have morph if it were face up, you may also turn it face up by paying its morph cost.
wotc · 2014-11-24
Unlike a face-down creature that was cast using the morph ability, a manifested creature may still be turned face up after it loses its abilities if it's a creature card.
wotc · 2014-11-24
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.
wotc · 2014-11-24
Because face-down creatures don't have names, they can't have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.
wotc · 2014-11-24
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.
wotc · 2014-11-24
Turning a permanent face up or face down doesn't change whether that permanent is tapped or untapped.
wotc · 2014-11-24
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.
wotc · 2014-11-24
If a face-down permanent you control leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or if the game ends.
