Soar with Mordenkainen’s Polymorph
Mordenkainen’s Polymorph offers a crafty twist on creature manipulation that fits perfectly within the tactical depth of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. As an instant-speed spell, it lets you transform any creature into a formidable 4/4 Dragon with flying, temporarily wiping away previous creature types and abilities. This card shines in formats where tempo and surprise plays can swing the board state, turning a vulnerable or tapped creature into an evasive threat capable of bypassing blockers and delivering impactful damage.
Its synergy with cards that benefit from creatures entering or leaving the battlefield or with those that provide additional bonuses to Dragons makes Mordenkainen’s Polymorph a versatile inclusion in blue decks focused on midrange disruption or tempo plays. Timing this spell just right can disrupt your opponent’s combat math and preserve your board presence while seizing the skies. The brief but potent nature of the polymorph effect captures the mystical unpredictability of the Forgotten Realms, embodying Mordenkainen’s mastery over magical transformation.
