What is Polymorph?

Polymorph is the name-giving card for our chosen theme. We are polymorphing our own (small) creatures into Fatties out of our library. The best thing about this tactic is, that we will (unlike in reanimator-styled decks) ALWAYS find a creature in our library! That's the reason why we only play like five creatures in here.

Why those commanders?

Time by time I built a lot of Polymorph-Decks - I started with Kykar, Wind's Fury, tried Illuna, Apex of Wishes and I used to play Atla Palani, Nest Tender. But now I finally found the ultimate Constellation for EDH-Polymorph with perfect synergies for our needs all over the game.!

Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh: I'm sorry for this poor boy, he is just free food for our polymorph-spells.

Sakashima of a Thousand Faces: The best partner-commander out there is in for sure. Saka copies our fatties for 4cmc - even the legendaries!

Tactics:

What's a good start?

Our starting hand should have like

• 2-3 lands
• 1-2 ramp-spells
• 1-2 card-draws
• 1 Polymorph-Spell - this is actually the most important thing!!
• 1-3 other cards (enabler, protection, removal, stealy stuff..)

Like this we should always be able to polymorph on round 2-5!

Big creature business

Our fatties:

Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre: Best man to find if you got a haste-enabler on the board.

It That Betrays: Eldrazi with stealing the sacrificed stuff? We need this boy.

Agent of Treachery: Good dude to find - steals not only a creature but any permanent. Good thing about Agent is that we can polymorph him again into another fattie!

Hullbreaker Horror: Since we got a lot of small spells in our deck this dude is an absolute must-have in here!

Astral Dragon: Wanna have 2 additional sol rings? 2 additional rhystics? No problem - Astral Dragon is bonkers! FYI: He goes infinite with Cursed Mirror.

Plan B:

The Problem with this deck is about getting our fatties removed before impact. For that reason I made a Plan B - steal the good stuff from our enemies!

We can

• steal creatures with Treachery or Control Magic
• copy a biggie from our opponents with Rite of Replication or Cursed Mirror
• swap our small bois vs biggies with Role Reversal or Sudden Substitution
• just make Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh super strong with Metamorphic Alteration

Some ideas for fatties or other suggestions?

I always want to improve my decks. So please leave some suggestions - thank you!
