Deck Help forum

So i ordered the cards for this polymorph deck yesterday. Fun to play and probably hard to play against once i get polymorph to resolve. The problem is that i know my friend has 4x Cranial Extraction , making the matchup a race for who gets polly/cranial out first since he is gonna target polymorph. I added 2x Entreat the Angels as a second wincon (with a lot of digging and Brainstorm , i only need 2). I would love to have another wincon just to be sure ;). Preferably as less cards as possible, and no creatures (that would mess up the polymorph). Any ideas?
The deck: Polymorph Control

If you're just worried about Cranial Extraction, run counterspells.

Jimhawk: I have 4 AEtherling , but to polymorph into one of them instead of Emrakul or Ulamog would be devastating :P. Luminarch Ascension seems fun! Dont know if i could hold of the damage for 4 turns tho :(. I will try it out!
CharonSquared: I run 4 mana leaks. That would protect me form Cranial Extraction until turn 7 if i have one in hand. Do you suggest i run more counter spells, and what do you suggest i would take out of the deck?
Thanks for your suggestions!

haha that would be fun! He gets oen turn advantage due to the mana cost, but thats ok :). I own 3x Redirect , might be good in the deck since you could counter Cranial Extraction (without finding anything) and also protect the token targeted by polymorph from Lightning Bolt and such for only 2 mana. Might add 3 or 2 of Redirect , but im having a hard time figuring out what to take out. Any suggestions?
Appreciated, tanks

Nevermore naming cranial extraction possibly better to use a different counterspell like negate or cancel.
You could try azor's electors (maybe)

since the deck is casual anyway you could just run the good old Counterspell

well if Counterbore puts you a turn behind then i found Quash

or even a basic Counterspell like suggested and throw in a Surgical Extraction no mana color issues with this one

If you want a fun noncreature wincon, I would suggest Luminarch Ascension , since you're already a control deck and can stall out for four turns.
Otherwise, AEtherling .
