Deck discussion for Shape Anew

The problem with all these shape anew decks is they rely on a single wincon. If that blightsteel gets Exiled, Arrested, Condemned, etc your done.

I think the Shape Anew -> Blightsteel Colossus trend is nothing more than a gimmick. It's too susceptible to a variety of much more coherent and all around superior strategies. So in the above linked deck, I took the concept and went the complete opposite direction. It's still susceptible to the same drawbacks, but at least it's (slightly) original :3

Your deck, though, I do like that it uses both Trinket Mage and Stoneforge Mystic (WAY too expensive $$ for the application, but hey, w/e :P bonus points on ingenuity) to tutor for sac-fodder. I would suggest running a second Blightsteel though. At the very least you'll have a back-up plan if something goes awry with the first.

Yeah, that's why I made it quickly then gave up on it... I also feel like colossus probably just works better in the existing polymorph archetype anyway.
