lagotripha Thanks for your comment, I have considered Mass Polymorph and Proteus Staff, proteus staff being the better of the 2. Mass polymorph is unnessecary and expensive so I would want to play this as I usually only have 1 hit in my deck and proteus staff is very good but costs extra mana (3 to cast, 3 to polymorph), with the staff also being an artifact, it would stop me playing Indomitable Creativity as this will reveal an artifact or creature and could hit the staff and not emrakul instead.

As for Hordeling Outburst, I wasnt the biggest fan of a sorcery speed 3 mana spell, however you can steal games by beating down with these 1/1's and for the value you cant find anything better as this deck prefers lots of targets for our polymorph's, and I use 2x Spawning Breath for the instant speed token creator if required.

The other options you mentioned all have a downside, Warping Wail could be uncastable if i dont hit 1 of the 2 colourless sources. Thunderheads exiles at beginning of the next end step, which would make the combo all-in and wouldnt allow consectutive Polymorph attempts. SwanSong would require me to target my own spells which isnt very productive. Final Depths of Desire is a consideration of mine, but feels slightly weaker and I have gone for the Enchantment of Trail of Evidence for token generators instead.

If you have any other idea's I'll be happy to listen.

If thats your complaint about polymorph, how about Mass Polymorph or Proteus Staff? I don't like Hordeling Outburst compared to instant speed options- cards like Warping Wail, Thunderheads Swan Song or even Depths of Desire feel more reliable for that 'in your turn'/'in my turn' combo.
