"You can become anything if I just put my mind to it."

Polymorph funtimes. Got the idea for this after reading this article.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Jalira, Master Polymorphist is the star of the show. Her ability lets me turn my rabbits into dragons.
  • Spirit Bonds and Goblinslide provide me with rabbits. Spirit Bonds is particularly great since it lets me sacrifice rabbits to counter destruction effects on Jalira, and lets me get a new rabbit whenever I use Jalira's ability to turn a rabbit into a dragon.
  • Stormtide Leviathan and Aegis Angel are my dragons. Brainstorm lets me, uh... undraw them, since I don't generally want to cast them from my hand. Of course, since these are the only two nonlegendary creatures in the deck, I'll generally always get one of them from a polymorph.
  • Everybody loves frogs, so: Turn to Frog and Polymorphist's Jest. With Scouring Sands or a blocker on the ground they function as removal.

Made the switch. I really like that Spirit Bonds interacts with Jalira's ability and basically will give me extra token fodder whenever I activate the ability. I did like that Goblin Rabblemaster was able to aggro into a win on his own, though, so I'm leaving him in the SB for at least nostalgic purposes.

Any comment/feedback before I make my buys and go into playtesting are appreciated.
