If something works, it works, but I don't really see CtS being faster than morphling. When I would drop a morphling, I would make sure that I would have three mana available at least in order to use its own ability and then for a counter, for example...under a similar principle I will need to make three additional drops to protect my massive seven mana investment.
I haven't tested CtS, so this is off the cuff, but I did spend years playing morphling and more playing efreet and I can say with a conviction that lots of the time with draw-go styled decks when you drop your creature, you are going to win 98% of the time, because you drop your creature when your opponents has almost been completely run out of steam if not entirely run out of steam. A lot of the time with muc, you could be winning just as easily with a fucking mistform ultimus as a mahomati djinn, morphling or CtS token.
The thing that honestly concerns me about CtS tokens is that you need to pitch a land to bring one back if you fail to protect or don't want to and it costs seven fucking mana. Sure, you can wrath or deed away a morphling, but considering the game that muc plays, your opponent is going to be needing a lot of support to push a wrath or deed in the latest possible part of the game versus muc before the four swinging turns.
I don't really care either way, but with the energy that some people that have been replying to this thread are known for putting into arguing their diamond in the rough tech, just let it be and wait for them to win a GP with it. Honestly, it isn't worth the effort because it is impossible to convince someone that you are arguing with that they are in fact wrong most of the time unless they are honestly a truely exceptional example of a human being.
Morphling, CtS, Meloku, Oona, spire golem(very underrated), efreet or mahamoti: who gives a fuck? Run whatever works for you. When you win an big event with your ultra-tech, then you can shit all over everyone that is used to running the good old standbys because they have been proven to work for years and years and people might have simply been attached to them. Until that day though, people should be more respectiful towards people that are trying to communicate why a card like morphling has been one of the most heavily played kill cards. Why bother to ask people why it is good, IBA? Seriously, man, you fuckin' know why it is good. It has been good for that very reason since sixth edition rules hit the masses. Just agree to disagree on it. To someone that has very, very little interest or time invested in this thread and archetype at this point, but understands how it works extremely well(ie: me) the longevity of this debate is ridiculous. People have stated their points. All either saide can do now is wait for results or produce their own.
