 this could be a really dumb modern/standard deck. Control shell, maybe UW or UWr, have a 1 of blightsteel colossus or something a lot better I probably can't think of and then you're done. The only downside would be no snapcaster. Ultimately I think it costs too much and will never see play but one can dream

Actual Polymorph is Modern legal as well, and is better than Proteus Staff or this guy if you're trying to cheat something out. Travis Woo did one of his brew things with it a while back, with the main gameplan being to fetch a one-of Dryad Arbor and poly it into Emrakul. It doesn't work very well, though. You can't run any other creatures, drawing your win condition(s) is a bad look (and the reason it doesn't really work in a control shell), and you're vulnerable to counterspells, removal on the polymorph target, removal or wraths on the polymorph result, and Grafdigger's Cage. I guess you could try to turn Mutavault into Worldspine Wurm in superstandard? The plan really needs an initial subject that can't be morphed into, so either cheap manlands or other legendary creatures.

So based on the Planes included in M15, our new Titans are Soul of Ravnica (blue) Soul of Zendikar (green) Soul of Theros Soul of Innistrad Soul of Shandalar I'm assuming Innistrad will be Black, so Theros (white) and Shandalar (red)?

Entropic posted:It does, but I have no idea if 3-mana sorcery-speed removal is good enough for legacy even if it targets without actually targeting to get around protection and hexproof. Oblivion Ring/D-Sphere already get played in legacy, as does Vindicate, this easily replaces ring at least since this also has the upside of being immune to Abrupt Decay and being Snapcasterable. Vindicate targets lands, so it's not a strict upgrade there but seems worth it to me. D-Sphere can 2-for-1 without playing an opponent who doesn't read cards, though.

Marked by Honor feels like it might be part of a cycle. Simple +2/+2 enchantment and in-color ability feels right for that sort of thing, and the format "Marked by X" lends itself to other colors.

I want to say Quickling is the 2 drop that fills the holes for Mono U but that's so far from true unless we get a way to easily make MoW tokens not 1/0 when he's on the board. Edit: Hall of Triumph doesn't count. Count Bleck fucked around with this message at 16:40 on May 23, 2014 |

The fact that Deputy of Aquittals is also a flashbear while Quickling needs another creature out (and therefore is not exactly a 2-drop in most cases) is being overlooked here. This is just a Faerie Imposter with Flash. Maybe good enough to get played in some clever decks but I would kinda be shocked if this thing saw a lot of Standard play.

You can't guarantee the same results with proteus staff or polymorph unless you're only running two creatures. Which most Polymorph decks have always done? The only advantage is that you can run legendary creatures over spells now, but it comes with some major disadvantages: the best Polymorph targets are legendary; you now can't play more than 4 polymorph effects, because the other legendaries mess up your regular Polymorph effects; and you are now using a creature instead of a sorcery or artifact for your combo, so it's easier to disrupt in most cases, and you have to wait a turn to activate.

If you manage to get it out, Worldspine Wurm works pretty well with the Polymorphist - you can repeatedly sac it for the tokens if all but one of them have been exiled/drawn, and if it gets removed you can then sac the tokens to get it back.

So what happens if you acquire two Palianos or Aether Searchers in the same draft? Noting their colors or associated card is easy during the draft, but without marking them how would you know which is which in your deck? I guess you could roll a die or something to randomly determine which one it is when you play it?

Use a mini-post-it or notecard during the draft, then slide in a slip of paper noting the choice into the same sleeve on the front during play.
