This last Friday, I decided to let Tater take Mass Polymorph (which needs a better name?) for a spin around FNM. After discussing the deck with GrimJack, I felt it was worth experimenting with a GU version of the deck, stripping away the red mana and most of the red spells. Refocusing the list yield this first attempt.
The deck performed really well despite the last minute changes to the brew. Scary as the fact is that you can't hard cast a single creature in the deck, the list looks to be pretty close to right. A judge playing in the event, responding to a judge call from Taters opponent, compliment Taters play regarding use of the stack, and trigger resolution. Tater went 2-3 on the night, and missed prize support by only a hair! A couple less play errors on his part, and he would have been in packs for sure. The numbers may need a tweak here or there, but I feel like the cards pretty on. The deck wants a couple more fetchlands, so I will have to see what I can do on that. I also need to do some more testing to see what a sideboard might can do to improve certain matchups.
