the problem i have is i dont have a deck i can play against it since im still trying to find something to play since splinter twin was banned

Huppster05 May I reckomend the method i use for playtesting. Search up a highrated modern deck on tappedout that seams of strong and use the playtest II. This will give you a wide weraety in decks but playing agienst another player will allways give the best data.Have fun!

See my biggest thing is that I have trouble playing decks i dont build or tweak

Huppster05 yea just picking up a diffical to play deck wont show it at peak preformance. I for exampel haven't done much testing agienst combodecks as don't trust my abilety to pilot these. But you can allwayes test it agienst your banned splintertwin, a good way to see if its clock is fast enough and if it has enough desruption to fight a combodeck.

Have you considered See Beyond in case you draw Emrakul. Or Serum Visions to help you filter what you draw?
February 3, 2016 2:44 a.m.
Pheardemons Drawing one of the two Emrakul isn't that common, only 1/3 on turn 4 without taking muligans into acount. Drawing both is extremly unlikly, even if this makes polymorph usles our tokens are strong enough to win without Emrakul so putting in a card only for this unlikly sitvuatin insted of a quality token-producers or disruption seams bad.
Serum visions would be hard to cast with our steep color-requerments in the early turns and why using mana to filter when we can cast tokens or disruption insted. Emrakul is a plan b, tokens the plan a.
But even if I won't be using the cards you sugested I ariciated that you took the time. More sugestions are welcomed.

uskie Giddion is most ceartnly a option, more for his 2/2 tokens and indestructible body as a polymorph target than his ult as it's just an expensive anthem. What would you sugest cutting to make room for giddion? He compets with both polymorph and sorin for the 4 mana spot and sorin preformes weary well in playtesting.

Nice idea. I would like to see your opponent's face when they were already struggeling with your tons of tokens and you drop emrakul of of polymorph. Awesome :)
Thought about Peer Through Depths? In the worst case, you get another Token-spell of of it (statistically speaking), in the best case you can grab a polymorph. I like it a lot in my Polymorph-Deck, though I don't play that many token-makers.
I would be glad if you would take a look at my deck (kind of diferrent to yours, but maybe you have some idea): Roaches and Royals

I advise running a 1-of Iona, Shield of Emeria in the sideboard to you can Polymorph into something to beat Burn and combo decks. If affinity is tough, a 1-of Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite can fix that too.

Do you need two Emrakul, the Aeons Torn in here? Seems like you could probably get by with just one, since it's so hard to get rid of anyway. Cool deck overall though. I had a similar idea, except that I was using mostly instant speed token generators like Raise the Alarm and counterspells like Remand to stall for time.
May 31, 2016 2:32 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd Sorry for the late response, end of the schoolyear for me. A Iona sounds like a good id, thougts on what should be removed from the sideboard and if I should sideboard out one or both emrakuls when bringing in Iona?
casey I have two for if and when I draw one so that Polymorph dosen't become usless. With two the odds of drawing both are close to zero percent. Better safe than sorry.

Not sure it has enough control to survive until you draw that polymorph...
June 15, 2016 4 a.m.
luke1 The deck is not intended to rely on polymorph to win, polymorph is more of an addition to the token strategy. In many cases this deck can pick up the aggresion with hthe hand-disruption removing their answers.
So am not sure why the deck would need more control. But if you have any good suggestions, feel free to sugest.

lagotripha Glad you like it, if you have any advise or sugestions to make it even better they are greatly appreciated.

Trouble with combo matchups? Mind Slash. Bribery can be funny. Mystical Teachings is interesting, and lets you tooolbox your SB in longer matchups. Lots of people misplay against Blackmail, and it can hit lands which really messes people up. Sundering Titan is a strong polymorph target, but less effective with Wastes being a thing. Suppression Field vs fetches and Blind Obedience for aggro. Thats all I got.

without the cast you won't get an extra turn with emrakul. on top of that there are alot of permanent and abilities that can remove emrakul. take that into consideration.
July 5, 2016 5:33 a.m.
Temerities Yes, that is the sad truth about Polymorph, it doesn't end the game the turn it is cast (that said scoping to Polymorph revealing Emrakul is common) but the answers to Emrakul aren't all that common in modern. Neither Shriekmaw nor Oblivion Ring type cards show up exept for a few, mostly budget, decks with the exeption of Karn in Tron. And even if the opponent saves their removal we have hand-disruption to make sure they don't have a chance to use it.
Having said all of that, it's always fun to actualy cast Emrakul with a Windbrisk Heights

yup it was just a food for thought. I love my emrakul especially turn 4 infinite loop with emrakul.
