Using the base of the Legend-based deck "Wait for it" by Mike Cannon of GatheringMagic. The core of the deck is abusing the power of Hero's Blade with incredibly effecient legends. Alesha, Who Smiles at Death recurs Daghatar the Adamant & Daxos of Meletis as long as she can attack. Jalira, Master Polymorphist acts as the backup plan - podding creatures stolen by Daxos and anyone locked down into either an vindicating Ashen Rider or the incredibly versatile Necropolis Fiend to disrupt any other threats. Heroes' Podium acts as both a win-more anthem, as well as a super-scry for your legendary threats, keeping your threats coming in the face of large amounts of removal. Monastery Siege also acts in the same manner - acting as either faux-hexproof, a way to get spare legends in the graveyard, or a way to find what you're looking for.

However, I've altered the basic concept of Polymorphist combo. Specifically, I've added a transformative sideboard for once Polymorphist cat is out of the bag. The Ashen Riders & Necropolis Fiend can be swapped in scourge of the fleets, Siege Dragon and Circle of Flame s to crush aggro and tokens, Siren of the Fanged Coast to make midgame swings, or drop the Jaliras and beatsticks altogether and swap in the Heliod's Pilgrims and a selection of silver-bullet auras to either take down specific threats in your enemy's strategy, or increase the killing potential of the deck through Ordeal of Thassa or Dragon Mantle (The Ordeal insta-pops with Daghatar, while Daxos or creatures with evasion prefer Dragon Mantle)

I am beginning to update this deck to move away from the Theros cards. Dropping 3x Anax and Cymede for 1x Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit and 2x Zurgo Bellstriker for both speed and power, as they can both be recurred by Alesha. Also, I'm finding a fairly common loss condition is when I'm stuck with one or more Ashen Riders in hand. I was trying first with Ornitharch , but the power level dropped considerably without the Vindicate ability. I've been keeping Scourge of Fleets & Siege Dragon as aggro deterrants that could also be hardcast, and thinking of using Icefall Regent against control.I've also added a Sagu Mauler maindeck as a all-round good pick, as It can hit the ground from the hand via morph, OR act as a polymorph target that can steamroll while avoiding spot removal.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
