Could I use morphling's -1/+1 ability over and over to make it a 0/8 and then use the +1/-1 ability to bring it down to a 4/4? or a 5/3? or (given enough mana) whatever I want?

So if I turn Lifeline into a creature and it dies with another creature in play, would it bring itself back?

Topic: Can Lifeline bring back a noncreature card? (3 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The Oracle text for Lifeline reads "Whenever a creature dies, if another creature is on the battlefield, return the first card to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step."
So my question is, if a noncreature permanent has been turned into a creature, with Toymaker, Karn, the Great Creator, or Nissa, Who Shakes the World for instance, and then dies, will Lifeline bring it back at the end of the turn? The card is a creature when it dies so it seems to me that it should trigger the lifeline. The rules say to return the card at end of turn. It does not say to return the "creature card" just "card".
That being said, all of the rulings only mention creatures not cards. I this find slightly inconsistent as, if I recall correctly, "creatures" are permanents and therefore do not exist outside of the battlefield. In the graveyard only cards exist.
So, could a card that is not a creature card be returned to the battlefield by Lifeline if the card was a creature that died?
