if the first card you reveal is a creature do you still get to shuffle your deck?

@Exuberance: My friend plays a standard deck with this, using Growth Spasm, Awakening Zone, and Khalni Garden to make tokens and polymorph to get an Emrakul out around turn 5 or so. Your decklist seems good, but you don't really need four copies of the creature, since you actually DON'T want to draw it in your opening hand. He only runs two copies of Emrakul, and See Beyond allows him to shuffle it back if he does draw it accidentally.
The rest of the deck is mainly draw spells, mana ramp, and counterspells. It's vulnerable to fast aggro decks and tramplers. Also note that your opponent could burn, terminate, or doom blade your targeted token in response to you casting Polymorph, which is why you need to have counter backup and the untapped mana to use it.

10/1/2009 If the targeted creature is indestructible, it's still a legal target -- it just isn't destroyed. The rest of Polymorph's effect happens as normal.
So yes, you could polymorph a Darksteel and not lose it, but unless your stacking your deck-ponder brain storm and the like- you could just as easily get a Storm Crow.

When you have enough mana you could actually play Slave of Bolas and before the end of the turn Polymorph it

I pose a question:
If you Polymorphed a creature with "indestructible", (let's say, your own Darksteel Colossus), when the creature fails to die, does the second effect of the card (deck searching and creature getting) still happen? As long as the target remains and doesn't fizzle the spell, the spell should be unaware of the creature's inability to die.
Please tell me if this is true, because I play a Polymorph deck with singletons Darksteel and Progenitus, and I'd love to Polymorph a token/manland into Darksteel, only then to Polymorph my Darksteel for Progenitus without losing another token (that I may not have to spare in the first place).

I like it. Just about the ONLY treat blue gets this time around, as usual.

Won't work against Red creatures, who all have "haste." But other than that, even if the creature pulled out is really big and nasty, it will most likely have summoning sickness, and if you're running blue, you will most likely have Unsummon.

It's an amusing card, when it's used and actually turns something huge and nasty into something small and weak; However, it has that potential to to turn a nasty creature into an equally nasty creature. About like Spellshift, in that the risks kinda outweigh the benefits.

Is that a rabbit that's turning into a goblin, or a goblin that's turning into a rabbit?

Then the key here is to play it in a deck that works around it and a single amazing creature. In order to accomplish this however a player would need non-creature token generators, cards that search for stuff, and some control spells. What cards would best fit these categories? I'll let you people decide on that.
