Why was my first thought Hive Mind in a large group game...

I laughed when I saw this card. It just... makes sense.

@LTJZamboni:
This card does not shuffle creatures you control into your deck, it exiles them. In fact, Exile is the first word of the rules text. Don't know how you missed that...
Can be interesting in token decks, which is very doable with Rise of The Eldrazi.

I think my record was
Polymorph some combination of Goblin tokens, Plant tokens, Germ tokens and Myr tokens into
3x Chancellor of the Forge
1x Phyrexian Polymorph copying Chancellor
1x Myr Battlesphere
(and that's every real creature from the library)
Battlesphere ability resolves -> 9 creatures
Chancellor resolves four times. Creature count 9 -> 18 -> 36 -> 72 -> 144, with 135 of them having haste
(detail may be a bit fuzzy but I remember getting 100+)
Usually Mass Polymorph wins the game with 3 tokens out (24 or 28 creatures), and almost always with 4 tokens (48 or 56 creatures).
I chose the Chancellor because while it's still bad to draw one, at least he gives me a Goblin token to help the Polymorph.

Run this in a deck full of tokens (Khalni Gardens, Awakening Zones, etc.) and only a few creatures, and you've got yourself a good deal. In fact, you could even play creatures that aren't even in the colors of your deck, such as Iona, Shield of Emeria.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Mr. Moeller is referencing a lot of his old arts in the picture for this card. I can see at least Isamaru, Hound of Konda, Crush of Wurms, and Bringer of the Red Dawn in the art. The art here is too small for me to be able to discern anything else...
@HairlessThoctar: Thanks, I knew I recognized that minotaur! Just couldn't place it...

This card get a 5/5 just for one reason. You can see Chimny Imp in the backgroud. He is in the background.

@ nammertime: completely agreed. Token decks will find this card AMAZING, especially with all the Eldrazi spawn floating around these days. Only problem could be the legendary rule. How sad would it be to flip over two Iona, Shield of Emerias off of this?
Very good cmc for this ability. Could make for an interesting metagame/endgame in some matches!

If you manage to successfully cast this, then you should win the game. Too bad bogardan hellkite wasn't reprinted as a rare.

For 2 more mana over polymorph you basically get "This spell can't be countered by creature removal". Except for that 2 extra mana you could've played a counter to that creature removal (and if they had enough mana open to play 2 removal spells and you still played polymorph, you deserve to get polymorph fizzled).
