@eslaton7751 However, like I said in the update, Propaganda isn't Modern legal, which is what this deck is. So, Since the affect is an important part of this deck I decided to keep Ghostly prison in splashing a little white with the Shock Lands, With it the way it is it has become much more consistent and smooth, and honestly, Red has just as good, if not better ways to drop tokens in modern quickly.

I'd say this deck falls to any control deck running a lot of counterspells maybe you should add more counters to the sideboard, maybe even maindboard. Dispel , Mana Leak , Negate to name a few

Ah, I did not know that Propaganda is illegal. That's strange that it is but Ghostly Prison is not...

CAN I HAVE YOUR PERMISSION TO MAKE THIS DECK? I PLAYED TESTED SO MUCH AND I LOVE IT I WILL PROMISE THAT I WILL GIVE YOU CREDIT

As much as I like the basic Concept, you are missing one important thing:
Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre are probably way worse, than you think they are.
The point is, that they trigger their abilities when you cast them, not when they enter the battlefield or come into play, which happens through morphing into them.
This way they are jsut fat annihilator creatures, but not really gathering any advantage or having some kind of protection.
This is why you might concider substituting them for more serious Threats like Progenitus, who basicly just wins the game on the next turn of getting him out, unless you are unfortunate enough to get boardsweeper-ed (which basicly ruins anything).
I though like the basic concept, as I see this kind of deck for the 1st time and it definetly inspired me to create my own version of it, althrough I would do many things different.
+1 For inspiration

P.S. eslaton7751: Propaganda is not forbidden in Modern because its's too good. Modern are the cards of the last seven years' editions. As lastly Propaganda was in "Tempest", which is way too old for Modern (unregarding the MTG Commander reprint, which are cards only legal in some special formats), it is too old for Modern.

chill4r Ah thanks for clearing that up. And I agree about the fat annihilator creatures too, you are already making them sac 6 permanents before turn 5. You need a creature that will give them all haste like Madrush Cyclops or Urabrask the Hidden .

No I don't think that they're worse than they are actually, I've had this conversation multiple times before updates. I know the casting effects don't kick in, but annihilator turn 5 is hard to come back from, and I had Progenitus considered already, but he has nothing good going for him other than the protection from everything, board state remains the same and it's easy to answer with a win in modern without having to attack, the eldrazies will attack and make you sacrifice you're stuff, completely slowing you down and limiting your chance to "for example" win by card effect turn 5 or 6.
Now, eslaton7751 I've also already considered adding in creatures with haste, but unless you Mass Polymorph , there's a chance to Polymorph into a hast creature and ruining your day. I've also considered things like Fervor , but I'd rather have Ghostly Prison in its place, it's a much more dependable card.

Everyone loves a good Mass Polymorph deck! This looks like a fun deck to play. Well done. +1

Here's the deck i made, it works amazingly and has the same idea! there are some major cards you should consider, one being Proteus Staff , its basically another Polymorph

I would also take out Kozilek, Butcher of Truth just because your not really using him for his ability and people would be able to take him out really fast! I would say replace him with Blightsteel Colossus or another Proteus Staff just because it would work better in this deck, in my opinion! but i like the concept :P
June 27, 2014 1:22 p.m.
I've had Proteus staff in the deck for ever, and you're probably right about Kozilek, I actually don't use him in the physical version of this deck, everything else is the same though, I have Darksteel colossus in his place, I just think Kozilek is a much more Epic card, lol.
June 27, 2014 2:50 p.m.
I love the card just cause its an eldrazi i just find alot of people kill him really fast because hes not indestructible and doesnt really have any protection from spells

you could take out the red for white token generators like Raise the Alarm.

Timely Reinforcements is a great card I used to run in my Mass Polymorph deck. It's almost guaranteed to trigger both effects by turn three. Although to be honest, you don't even need white since you're only using Ghostly Prison . You can just use Propaganda and be two colors. +1 for a great deck though.
