Deck Description

An upgrade to my Polymorph deck
http://www.mtgvault.com/ankokuraven/decks/polymorph/

I feel that it takes too long to get a polymorph... maybe ill run 8 instead of 4???...

How to Play

First off, you'll notice the changeover between green and artifact

Myr Turbine is the same CVC as Bestial Menace but can be played with blue and is reusable. Nuisance Engine works effectively as well. But have an added advantage

Having only Blightsteel gives two advantages: 1) Its not legendary 2) It has Infect.
It has the disadvantage of not being Emrakul or having protection... But is more than worth it. It has one more hidden advantage aswell

The downside to Polymorph... Is needing Polymorph. running only 4 you really have to stall. but the main goal of it is to give us a Blightsteel Colossus for cheap. Is there another card that will work identically? In fact i have been experimenting with it in a number of decks already.

Being that Blightsteel is also an artifact, Tinker, in this deck, works as well if not better than Polymorph. having both dramatically increases my chance of Blightsteeling my opponent over the head.

Switching from green to artifact token gen means that they can trigger either Polymorph or Tinker. And using the artifact lands provides extra targets for tinker.

the Garden is still here because lets face it, i can't think of any other 0drop token generation

Random thought
IF Blightsteel is pacified, tinker or poly Blightsteel for Blightsteel... he goes right back into the deck anyway

you should add index, and some cards that put cards from their hand on top of their library.

You should drop blightsteel to 2, and add 2 emrakul.
It essentially wins the turn it attacks and is almost unremovable.
Also with 2 blightsteel to should always have a tinker target and with just 2 emrakul your unlikely to polymorph into a second one (although tht shouldn't be a concern because the first one wins the game)

Another color would help you have cheaper token production, green or white would both be solid for that.
Finally I recommend cutting 2 lands for 2 lotus petal. It is a zero drop artifact makes your decks a Turn faster and you can use it for tinker. I don't recommend four because you're not all in on the tinker plan.

emrakul isnt an artifact though. i understand that polymorph can still be useful to get emrakul onto the battlefield, but since you wouldnt have cast emrakul from polymorph, you dont get the extra turn. with blightsteel collosus, it can be used with tinker, and one attack with it can win the game immediatly.

anyway infect is much stronger than regular creatures because 1) they only need to deal ten damage at most and 2) they deal damage to creatures in -1/-1 counters, so the damage racks up!

The reason for the 4 blightsteel is because both poly and tinker can pull him out, emrakul can only be used on one. plus the fact that all 4 blights have infect makes the stratagy more cohesive, tho i do need to look into getting the petals.

You MUST play Proteus Staff (I play it in my polymorph deck) and it could be faster than polymorph and it's also an artifact and combo with tinker.

Also why you don't play some Flayer Husk that also combo with Tinker?

If you are going to have this be banned in every format, just add more artifact lands and then add in a tezeret, his X ability is search you library for an artifact card with converted mana cost X, and put it into play. Every turn you would be able to search your library for a land and play it. That is why they are banned from modern.
Or, to heck with it, just add proginitus, protection from everything, 10/10 Hydra
(don't think i spelled that right)

How about Wing Splicer and Shape Anew? Shape Anew is Polymorph for artifacts. I also 2nd the Proteus Staff idea. Such a good card and reusable. I also like the ability to take other peoples creatures (if need be) so how about Vedalken Shackles or Treachery? Stormtide Leviathan is also a good add since it stops opponents attackers and makes yours unblockable.

Shape anew's problem is the amount of artifacts, chances are it wont be blight steel, and wing splicer and stormtide can pop out from poly instead of blightsteel and stormtide makes blightsteel unable to attack. the shackles might be fun tho, ha ha your creatures now my blightsteel lol.

The combo I use is Kuldotha Forgemaster with a ton of artifact tokens on the field. Sac any three tokens and he is OUT. I have done that so damn many times.

again the problem with forge master is that he can accidentally be pulled out by poly instead of blightsteel.

Yeah I guess the Poly does complicate that. Fair enough.

Maybe consider Awakening Zone to get a constant supply of creatures each turn.

Dude you can't even play this deck in legacy. Why build it? Casual?

Even in casual you usually try to keep it at least Vintage legal. The Tinker here is a very good example of a very powerful yet not too expensive (money wise) card that just wrecks casual play if you are allowed to include it 4 times. One starts tinkering out Colossi and the others start running 4 Balance in their decks --- this spirals very fast until nobody has fun playing anymore. These cards are restricted in Vintage - the format with the Power Nine and every other broken card ever printed. That should tell you something about the card. I really don't get why "we are playing casual" is an excuse to play them - it should be the other way round: "We are playing casual, cards like these shouldn't be allowed at all".
