9ED #90
Viewing
Polymorph has been sitting in Magic 2010 at bulk-rare prices for years, and it still does one of the most degenerate things a blue card can do: kill a creature and replace it with a random hit off the top of the library.

The take

$1.24
for an effect that puts a free creature into play off the top of a library.

-
Transmogrify
Both are polymorph-effect enablers for the same cheat-a-bomb-into-play plan, so running them together doubles your odds of hitting the swap on time.
-
Proteus Staff
Both effects reward building a deck where the entire library is stacked with payoffs, since neither lets you pick the creature that comes out.

Urza, Lord High Artificer
Urza's construct tokens and card-draw engine help dig toward and pay for the setup Polymorph needs before you blow up a creature to cash in on a random hit.

Polymorph Rulings
- Jul 1, 2013
If the targeted creature has indestructible, it’s still a legal target — it just isn’t destroyed. The rest of Polymorph’s effect happens as normal.
- Oct 1, 2009
A “creature card” is any card with the type creature, even if it has other types such as artifact, enchantment, or land. Older cards of type summon are also creature cards.
- Oct 1, 2009
If the targeted creature is an illegal target by the time Polymorph would resolve, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. Nothing else happens.
- Oct 1, 2009
If there are no creature cards in the player’s library, all the cards in that library are revealed, then the library is shuffled. (The targeted creature remains destroyed.)
- Oct 4, 2004
If there are no creatures in the player’s library, then the target creature is still destroyed, you see all the cards in that player’s library, and then they shuffle and continue play.
