@KONFUSION: I think that is a good choice. Slaughter Games is dangerous :p

Dryad Arbor can be fetched with Misty Rainforest. It counts as a Forest.

March 7, 2013 11:35 a.m.

@ Crossflyah, true that, however Dryad Arbor would be a bad idea with Polymorph. It would be better with the lands he has like Khalni Garden or other token producing spells like Growth Spasm, Mystic Genesis, Sprout, Gelatinous Genesis, Pulse of the Tangle, Slime Molding, Wurmcalling, Talrand's Invocation, Summoner's Bane, and the like.

What's the purpose of Expedition Map? I think with all the Scrying you have Unexpected Results would be alot of fun!

@ aeonstoremyliver that was my next question. Would Dryad Arbor affect Polymorph and you answered it for me thank you! Expedition Map and the greaves should be on the maybeboard not the sideboard lol thats my bad. And I am still on the edge about Unexpected Results if I dont scry its normally paying 4 mana for a spell that cost less than 4 mana, or I could reveal and play a counterspell that would counter nothing lol

-4 Negate and +4 Remand I think would be better, and some Sleight of Hand too

Maybe remove Spreading Seas for Remand and Negate for Sleight of Hand

How is Dryad Arbor a bad idea.

You fetch it and polymorph it into Emrakul.

It's the fastest way to polymorph in the game since it doubles as your land.

Fold into AEther is another option with 0 cmc's

March 7, 2013 9:04 p.m.

Crossfiyah true, but Dryad Arbor could potentially backfire.

What fun is a deck without a little risk I say.

March 8, 2013 12:43 a.m.

Lol I like that! There's always risk and luck. Too much risk and you have a casual deck rather than a competitive one, though.

Crossfiyah says... #15

If you get a chance, playtest it with the fetchlands and the Dryad, and tell me what you think.

aeonstoremyliver I feel this deck would deck stomped in a modern FNM though :/ as much as i want it to work, I dont think it would.

March 8, 2013 1:18 a.m.

Well, play test it against Ach Hans, Beastmaster Run!, which has a turn 4-5 clock. It's super Aggro.

I like the concept. It reminds me of a Shape Anew deck I used to have where you make artifact creature tokens with Blade Splicer or Master's Call or animate Inkmoth Nexus and then you either get Blightsteel or Quicksilver Amulet. But this is much more consistent and definite. When I first looked at it, I wondered why you didn't include Blightsteel Colossus, but then I realized that its easy for your opponent to have spot removal, no matter how early you Polymorph. Emrakul and Progenitus have protections. If you're looking for another creature though, I would recommend Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur. If he doesn't get removed immediately, its card advantage for you, and disadvantage for your opponent.

wow hiddengibbons thank you! I have never heard of Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur before

@ KONFUSION Modern and Legacy tournaments are quite varied in comparison to Standard. Some places have Modern, Legacy, and EDH instead of Standard for Friday Night Magic. Others do Saturday tournaments.

Your deck has a definite goal and works quite consistently towards it. Your sideboard should assist you in bad matchups and against hate like Slaughter Games, Appetite for Brains, Thoughtseize, Duress, etc. Witchbane Orb is great for that.

Tournaments are Swiss Rounds, and depending on the store and how many people there, there could be 4-8 rounds. Each match is an hour and you need 2 wins out of a match to count as a win. You might go to 'time,' which means you'll have 5 more turns before a draw on both players is declared. The entry fee is anywhere from $5.00 to $25.00, depending on the store, tournament, and prizes. It's typically quite casual and would be a great experience for you.

Lastly, I concur with hiddengibbons about Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur. Instant screw. Good sideboard cards would be Iona, Shield of Emeria, Blazing Archon, and Avacyn, Angel of Hope.

I really enjoy playing my mass polymorph deck Mass Polymorph (come at me bro). I'd say go with counterspells to protect your tokens, like Mana Leak and Spell Pierce. Also, the mass polymorph I built (with help from this site) deck has a really interesting combo of 2 Massacre Wurm 1 Terastodon. I put in Emrakul, the Aeons Torn for the lolz.
