Polymorph combo (help me finish this?)

[Dan Barrett]

26 land (inc 3/4 mutavault)
+
4 bitterblossom
4 ardent plea
4 spectral procession
4 polymorph
2 progenitus
+
16 other cards (cmc 3+)


Not sure if this is even any good, or what the other 16 cards are to fill this out - probably some combination of counterspells/removal

[Mark Walker]

ponder (confirmed, know it's under3cmc but it digs 3 cards deeper for polymorph/bitterblossom)
beseech the queen, (hunt the polymorph)
cancel
elspeth
cenn's enlistment (dudes)
martial coup (wrath and dudes)

I don't think you need more than 1 Progenitus? He gets shuffled into your library if they have one of the rare ways to kill him and you don't want two out :) If you want more targets for Polymorphs then Inkwell Leviathan seems like a possibility?

Ardent Plea means that Negate and Broken Ambitions are worse. Against anything with permission or instant speed removal (that is, any deck) you might want Negate to be able to Polymorph with counter backup.

Actually, does killing the target fizzle the rest of the spell, or not?

[Charlie Grover]

Dont run cascade. Run draw spells like looter, and just make a progenitus as fast as possible. This deck gets better when u realise the aggro decks in this format are all slow. NIce deck.

run dramatic entrance! :D

[Mark Walker]

Maybe deathrender too, and up the progenitus count to 4. You don't want to draw them all. Then you can:
Polymorph it from your deck.
Dramatic from your hand.
Deathrender from your hand.

[Dan Barrett]

Nice ideas everyone -

Though tbh as soon as Rob said Dramatic Entrance that version seems infi better, as i can just run other massive green men and some accelerants, potentially even a turn 3 Progenitus, and don't have to run sub-par token generators, and don't leave myself open to removal in response, etc.

How about this idea.....play a good deck instead :P

Chapin's version:

4 Ponder
4 Broken Ambitions
4 Polymorph
4 Cryptic Command

4 Path to Exile
4 Spectral Procession
2 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
2 Hallowed Burial
2 Martial Coup

2 Repel Intruders
2 Progenitus

1 Obelisk of Alara

1 Mutavault
1 Gargoyle Castle
1 Arcane Sanctum
2 Vivid Creek
1 Reflecting Pool
2 Windbrisk Heights
4 Mystic Gate
4 Glacial Fortress
3 Plains
6 Island

"Bear in mind that this is a pretty rough build, but the general idea is the important part. Obviously you can abuse Polymorph if you can make it so that you always hit Progenitus, since a lot of decks can’t really beat that. That said, maybe it is too slow, maybe you won’t draw Polymorph enough, maybe you can’t beat Fae. Either way, there are some exciting things going on with this deck, and it is worth experimenting with a little."

The problem this deck will always have, is it wants to be a control deck with a combo finish, but you have to win before you draw both, and end up playing like a combo deck, and those ideas don't really go well together :(
