Saheeli polymorph
Commander Deck Help forum

So I'm liking the new Saheeli planeswalker commander as a Polymorph Boi cos not only does she make tokens, she can also help cast the thicc lads if, god-forbid, they end up in your hand, with her second loyalty ability.
Down side is, her tokens are artifact servos, and alot of the Izzet polymorph spells (all the red ones that is, such as the new one they're printing who's name escapes me and Indomitable Creativity and suchlike) can pull artifacts or look at the card type that you sacrificed. Eg. You ditch a servo and look at the top card and instead of emrakul you get Ichor Wellspring.
So I'm wondering whether or not I should not include a single artifact in the deck (Ew no swoll ring or ANYTHING) and rely on her first ability to power her second, or just not include Indomitable Creativity and suchlike.
What I'm asking for, albeit in a very roundabout way, is a list of all polymorph spells that come to mind (and no, not the mono-blue legendary binch) so I can determine whether or not there is the critical mass of Polymorph in commander in order to justify it being a polymorph deck and not a "saheeli makes alot of mana" deck
Any help?

I know of Polymorph itself, Mass Polymorph, Reweave, that new red one, Indomitable Creativity, Synthetic Destiny, Proteus Staff, Shifting Shadow (kinda... it's sucks ass tho) and Divergent Transformations. Of those those 9, one sucks ass and three can pull artifacts, which I don't want, leaving me with five, which really isn't enough :c

I won't be of much help since the only one you didn't mention that I can think of is Jalira, Master Polymorphist. Honestly though if this is the deck you want to build I would run Jalira, Master Polymorphist as the commander. It does limit you to mono-blue but there are a lot of giant sea creatures in blue so it should work rather well. You can use a combination of tokens you produce and theft effects to grab opponents stuff and turn it into your own things.

Plenty of good ideas and links to decks on that page.

Important note: this is not Baral. It is for casual multiplayer: the purpose of this deck is not to stop anyone playing magic before you draw your one-of Polymorph into Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.
It's meant to fuck around and occasionally drop a Leviathan. As such it'll need around ten polymorphs to actually hold itself together :\
