I really like the idea of the deck, mainly because it helps you cheat out huge creatures and also have the ability to control what your opponent is doing on their side of the field to answer your plays.

I'm an aggro deck player that has become very intrigued by combo decks, and the idea of a turn 4 Emma is pretty sweet. I'll playtest the deck some more and see what else you could put in the deck to, maybe, speed it up?

You are probably aware that Emrakul's ability isn't able to work where you get to take a second turn if you don't actually cast him from your hand, which is kinda what the appeal is with Emrakul, other than the Flying, Annihilator 6-ing, 15/15-ing parts. Also, another fair warning, he is susceptible to permanents that exile cards like Suspension Field and stuff, which people are gonna blow on your creatures the moment they have the chance.

maybe more copies of each of the big guys will guarantee a solid win or close to a solid win. against an aggro deck, maybe try Wurmcoil Engine for a little bit of defense and some token generation.

Wurmcoil Engine is a great addition to this deck but I want to keep this under 100$ and i'm not really sure which powerhouse to take out .Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is still a 15/15 flying that pumps out a huge amount of card advantage so ,maybe Progenitus? thanks for the suggestion.

I like it! I only worry that Equipment Germs are pretty easy to remove, so maybe add a few more manlands, like (bl)inkmoths?

BUT SHOULD I DO Inkmoth Nexus, Blinkmoth Nexus, or both.

Well, as far as this deck cares, they work the same, so if you're only taking one, take Blinkmoth Nexus simply because it costs a lot less. I'm not sure if you should take both, but realistically one U is all the colored mana you need on the board, right?

Maybe consideration would be token generators. I've seen some decks run tokens with Polymorph as a backup win condition. Maybe look into Bitterblossom, Timely Reinforcements, or Raise the Alarm. You can use them for fodder against agro decks and targets for Polymorph when you get it. Just a suggestion!

I like this deck. it's very unusual. You could consider Faerie Conclave as another manland.

Great deck, love the concept.

Firstly, add more of the big creatures to give you more chance of polymorphing one. Secondly, instead of some equipment replace them with Memnites and Ornithopters. :)

Mass Polymorph would be pretty bonkers here.

Jalira, Master Polymorphist would also be good if you traded out the legends for fat non-legendary guys, but I'm not sure if she's worth changing your creature base for.

Also, @MorgsJ, more big creatures only increases the odds of drawing one of them and having it clog his hand all game. If your only creatures are fat, then you'll always get a fat creature, whether you have one or twenty.

Cool deck, I like the concept a lot.

MorgsJ, the point of this deck is that the only creatures able to be drawn are the extreme big hitters. They do that with Polymorph or Proteus Staff by sacrificing the Germs created with Flayer Husk, Sickleslicer and Mortarpod (note how they create creatures, but are not creatures themselves. This means that the big hitters are the only things able to be grabbed with Polymorph). More creatures, of any type, would make the deck useless.

Love the idea, Steiny156!
