Hey guys... I finally found rules text on Form of the Squirrel after A LOT of digging. You guys may want to check it out: I elaborate on all of this is my latest update. I also reset all of the comments as all former comments refer to what is, in my opinion, a different deck. Golgari Charm has become the bane of squirrels everywhere...but Mr. Chitters WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS!!! BEWARE!!!
You hear it all around you, a terrifying noise that has spelled the doom of countless adventurers: The chittering of the squirrel pack!!! Mr. Chitters attacks!

One option is the hideaway land cycle (Windbrisk Heights, Spinerock Knoll, Shelldock Isle, Mosswort Bridge and Howltooth Hollow) but the criteria is very difficult to meet. It's a shame that the Dimensional Breach combo along with Astral Slide doesn't work as it works with The Cheese Stands Alone.
Another thing that came to my mind was cycling. That doesn't count as playing a spell, and sometimes it comes with good effects, but I've seen nothing that matches the colors of the deck.
My only remaining suggestions: Sneak Attack and Quicksilver Amulet

Quicksilver Amulet also get around putting cards on the stack. It would also allow you to cast Emrakul, the Aeons Torn sooner than AEther Vial would allow.

Torpor Orb doesn't stop Form of the Squirrel since it is an enchantment entering the battlefield and not a creature.

No but the "You lose the game when the 1/1 squirrel leaves play" is a delayed ETB effect triggered by the squirrel token entering the battlefield.

The hell is a delayed ETB? That is a leave the battlefield effect, not an ETB (enter the battlefield) those are completely different as far as I know. I have never heard the term "delayed ETB" since ETB happens when said permanent resolves onto the battlefield. And if it isn't an LTB, it is at the very least a static effect on an enchantment and not an ETB on a creature. I may be missing something, but I really don't see any interaction between Form of the Squirrel and Torpor Orb. Regardless of any of that, this is a funny deck. +1

Dude I know it sounds janky AF because it is, but basically the second Mr. Chitters hits the field, Form of the Squirrel triggers again and puts a "you lose the game" ability on the stack. When Mr. Chitters leaves play, that ability then resolves. Until such a time as Mr. Chitters leaves play, the ability stays on the stack and is prevented from resolving by Form of the Squirrel. I didn't believe it either when I first read it, but this is the official ruling on Form of the Squirrel.

I know this is weird, but I love you. This is the single most hilarious deck I have read of in recent years, and decks like this are singular proof that Magic is a wonderful game. Thank you +1

I disagree with it, but with the way it is worded I am not entirely sure what it would be. I still feel like delayed etb is a bunch of bs.

That's why unhinged is illegal my friend! It is a bunch of bs!

You should put something that gives flying to Mister Chitters

Been thinking about putting Mastery of the Unseen into this deck as another fun way to cheat permanents into play through Form of the Squirrel. Not so sure about it though, as I could accidentally manifest Form of the Squirrel itself, and flipping it face up would skip the whole first line of text, which is NOT the point of this deck. If it were I would be running Torpor Orb.

That, and it's the only way this deck is able to get Emrakul, the Aeons Torn into play.
