Polymorph in cube

Has anyone successfully got Polymorph as an archetype to work in cube ? If so how did you make it work

I feel like it's a pretty simple archetype as long as you have big enough threats and enough versions of polymorph or ways to get polymorph. Treat it like any other cheat-in archetype, like sneak and show, except you also need some tokens as enablers.

You need your polynorph variants, tutors to find them, fat threats, some counters and removal, tokens to polymorph, and that's about it.

Like what others have said. I think it will best slot in if you also have a white based token strategy (specifically spells that make tokens) and a black centered reanimate strategy. Recruit might be a nice bridge mechanic since it discards reanimate targets to make a token that can be polymorphed.

I’m looking to use it in a Kaiju based cube. So I’m thinking of running RG eldrazi spawn, and BG cycling. So I want to put in fatty cheat but I don’t want to do it the powered cube style.

I used to run a home brew mass Polymorph deck back m11 m12 era. I understand how the deck works it’s more of the juice is worth the squeeze.

The support is there. From what I’ve seen it really didn’t hang in high powered environments, but there’s definitely cubes where it can be more competitive.

I have it in a few lists. It's pretty random though. You can see it as removal but if can backfire. The best way to use it is by targeting one of your tokens to get something better. I don't see it as an archetype though, more like a fun/old card that is pretty flawed lol.
