Premise is simple, dig through the deck until you can make a token and Polymorph it dig through your deck for the big daddy since he is the only creature and hopefully win next turn. Unfortunately you are not casting him so you do not get the extra turn. See Beyond is also for those awkward times that you draw your Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Made a Green Blue version of this deck that severely lacked in certain aspects, hoping to shore up those weaknesses by cutting green and adding white. The biggest issue I found was that green didn't really give me any instant speed tokens or ways to interact with things already on the board. Every creature that hit the board was there for good. By adding white I am giving myself access to Path to Exile and Raise the Alarm among strong sideboard options. I originally had a Progenitus but I continuously found myself losing even after summoning him. He is basically a fancy 10/10 and if your opponent is ahead it is still easy for them to win. I would cast Polymorph and hope that I was going to flip Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Blue White gives me a really solid starting point with board interaction and spell disruption. I prefer the 1 mana counters because my main goal is stopping them from disrupting my combo. I am interested in maybe adding another color but don't want to stretch my mana base too thin. Red would give me tools like Lightning Bolt and Electrolyze. Black on the other hand gives me Lingering Souls and Bitterblossom as well as other removal. The Bitterblossom is very intriguing to me as an easy source of Polymorph targets. The Lingering Souls on top of that means that I can shift to a esper tokens strategy if I need to. On the other hand Lightning Bolt is played in every red deck for a reason haha. But in the end I just don't know. I don't have a sideboard together yet and want to wait until my mainboard is more finalized. For now I am going to play test this version. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thank you!!! :D

EDIT: FInally decided to go Esper with the recent bannings. Part of my thought is that I am losing dig through time so I need to do something. Now without the super cheap dredge draw spells, discard spells are much stronger. Also added Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver because she is good in control match ups and I can use her -x ability to get a creature into play that I can Polymorph. Also threw together a little sideboard. Definitely needs work.
