need another wincon for blue/white

Deck Help forum

Posted on June 18, 2013, 4:05 p.m. by smackjack

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 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 .

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

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