Why wasn't this in M12? Was it in M11 just because of the Eldrazi? This is one of my all time favorites, and it's being left behind for Jace's Archivist. I don't get why Wizards worries about creativity in Constructed play and gems like this are taken away. With this leaving when Innistrad comes out, there will be one less beloved and fun deck out there. We fans of Mass Polymorph, Polymorph, Proteus Staff and friends hope one of these will be in Innistrad, or a new variant.

I have this as a finisher in a janky token-control deck. Every form of control also makes a token or other weak body. I keep thwarting threats while i build an army of pathetic dudes. Opponent even said "You can stop delaying the inevitable", with my annoying but imperfect control only partly slowing him... right before I mass polymorphed into 6 creatures, 3 of which were ridiculous. Then it was over for him.
And that's the trick. By using mass polymorph instead of polymorph, I'm not limited to only putting ridiculous creatures in my deck. I can run other creatures too to help my build-up/defense. I'm fetching so many creatures I'll still hit a ridiculous guy or three. And with the ability to run other creatures (unlike polymorph) I'm not screwed if I don't draw my mass polymorph.

I like how it exiles, it makes more sence. I think polymorph should have exiled as well. I dont like it more then polymorph because its slower, (you can have an eldrazi on t3 with polymorph). But i belive this is more fun. Yea this card will find a home in alot of token decks.

i love morphing my eldrazi spawns into legendary eldrazi! It's like giving them a promotion.. also, Urabrask the Hidden for hasty eldrazi...

I had the potential to create a combo deck with my sealed pool at the prerelease using 3 Squadron Hawks and this. I didn't do it. That will always be the tourney opportunity that got away :P

as for the legendary rule just put one of them in your deck and keep up with how many creatures you have in the deck. im trying out a deck with 7 creatures so ill be sure to have 7 tokens out when i mass polymorph. with the removal of mana burn just sac any extra spawns . hope you arnt looking down the barrel of a deprive, mana leak, or any other counter that will just about end your game.

@LTJZamboni: What you're reading about shuffling is all of the non-creature cards you reveal when the Mass Polymorph ability goes off. If you exile 3 creatures and you reveal a Land, Land, Creature, Instant, Creature, sorcery, Land, and then a third Creature, the card is telling you that the 5 other cards you revealed (3 Lands, an instant, and a sorcery in this example) have to be shuffled back into your library. The creatures you exiled are permanently exiled. You never get them back in that game.
