View Full Version : Mass Polymorph

Inspired by the terrible spoiled card biovisionary. The concept is pretty simple: Mogg Alarm + Mass Polymorph and a library with just the 2 creatures that you want to see. The alternative casting cost on Mogg Alarm means you can go off for :u::5: which should be manageable.

I was thinking something along the lines of:
Combo Elements

4 Mogg Alarm
4 Mass Polymorph
1 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
1 Pestermite

Card Quality/Tutors

4 Personal Tutor
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
1 See Beyond
1 Lat-Nam's Legacy

Deck thinning freetrips

4 Gitaxian Probe

Acceleration

4 Seething Song
4 Rite of Flame
4 Lotus Petal

Protection

2 Force of Will
2 Misdirection

Lands

4 Volcanic Island
2 Steam Vents
2 Mountain
1 Island
4 Scalding Tarn
3 Polluted Delta


Obvious questions:
How awful is this?
Are there better creature packages than Kiki/Pestermite? It might be nice to have something where any 2 of 3 creatures could work so there's redundancy. Maybe just bombs like Emrakul/Progenitus/Iona Shield of Emeria?
Are there good guidelines for setting up the lands and acceleration for something like this?
LED can probably be made to work here, but it's quite risky.
Does it make sense to splash black for Dark Ritual/Thoughtseize?
Should it be cutting Mass Polymorphs in favor of more utility?

I think Polymorph and/or Proteus Staff + Emrakul should be enough to win and easier to put together.
For a while I played a Staxx-ish build, something like:


4 Ancient tomb
4 City of Traitors
3 Mutavault
4 Mishra's Factory
9 Island
4 Mox Diamond

4 Tezzeret the Seeker
4 Jace, the Mindsculptor

4 Proteus Staff
1 Emrakul

4 Chalice of the Void
4 Chronatog Totem
2 Polymorph
2 Crucible of Worlds
4 Propaganda
2 Trinisphere
