So my new attempt of a Wydewen competitive and I am going in a different direction.

Since straight up UB Reanimator has been seriously handicapped in French. I found that my UB reanimator deck couldnt keep up with literally any other deck, because it just wasnt fast enough, required too many card slots to make it a predictable deck, and the largest creatures in the game were out of reach.

This changes all that, by using your commander as reuseable fodder for polymorph you can create a deck where the only creatures are huge impactful ones. Show and Tell is an auto include

This deck also tries to use major disruption in the beginning of the game, with many cards being dedicated to either removing threats/ dorks early from their hand, or stifling their first/ second fetchlands to slow them down even further.

Major goal is to get a good counterspell in hand on turn 5-6 to cast polymorph on Wydewen or one of the many man lands in the deck.

Plays well against aggro and tempo decks, has struggled against control decks (especailly giest) but I feel the rece nt addition of Boseiju (and ways to find it) have really given it a solid chance against these decks, so as you dont have to have 2 counterspells ready in hand to fend them off.
