Shape Anew Control

Shape Anew

Sorcery
The controller of target artifact sacrifices it, then reveals cards from the top of his or her library until he or she reveals an artifact card. That player puts that card onto the battlefield, then shuffles all other cards revealed this way into his or her library.

This puppy got spoiled a short while ago, and I think it has the potential to be a good win condition in mono blue control.

I'm not too sure about the exact list, but the way you make it work is with artifact creature man lands (mishra's factory and blinkmoth nexus), you simply reveal until you flop down your Inkwell laviathon.


I think the idea could have potential.

Playing Polymorph seems flat-out better. You can Counterbalance-Top if you want a way to protect/stall until you Morph, you can still play Factory and other token-producing cards to make Polymorph work and Emrakul is better than Inkwell by a long shot.

I was initially interested in this card, then quickly realized that I would want to be casting Polymorph instead every time.

Hmm....interesting idea Ben!

The most redeeming factor for Shape Anew compared to Polymorph is you can run it alongside Tarmogoyf, erm I mean creatures in general. ;-)

Polymorph + Emrakul//Iona//Progenitus//Terastodon seem fair better :P
