Is it playable?
{Polis Crusher}
In limited it is absolutely AWESOME! But in constructed I would say not so much, you probably could play it but competitively there are better cards out there, decent for sideboard against a hexproof deck or such maybe. Trample is nice though!
I'd say yes. It's a 4 drop 4/4 with extras and decent extras at that. Theros has a ton of enchantments, and he has the ability to destroy one each turn even if they have chump blockers(trample). Gods can't block him. So I'd say yes he's playable in standard but maybe a 2 of not 4 of.
I tried him in my BGR deck as an alternative to my disenchant removal slot, but he turned out no so good due to my enchantment artifacts not being able to affect him.
Limited, sure he's a beast
Sideboard at the most for constructed.
If you don't have 4 {Ghor Clan rampager}s in your deck and have him, you should replace with rampagers.
Ill most likely remove polis for a {desecration demon}, or another {sire of insanity}

Yes in this case I could see him as not so useful lol but I don't think I'd try to run him in a deck that relies on enchanting my creatures. But in a bloodrush deck? Oh yes.
T1 forest {elvish mystic}
T2 mountain {burning-tree emissary} into {wild beastmaster}
T3 {polis crusher} and swing for a lot of dmg
T4 clean up what's left with a polis crusher and WBM. Or don't attack t3 and pump WBM with whatever bloodrush you have on t4.

Lol we both have this deck tho since we aren't the same person they vary in some ways. But let me ask you since you run this deck. Would you run him? {Champion of the lambholt} rotated leaving an opening. Would you consider {polis crusher}?

Your opponent plays {tide binder Mage}, you cry :P
It's magic brotha. There's an answer for everything ;)
C'mon people, use the curly brackets OR the little book picture in the top right of the screen when entering text. For people with bad memory, new players, or just a general quick reference.

Nah I did a few changes in this thread alone, but others in the other threads today.
All good, just like to keep order.
I try to squiggly bracket everything unless it was already done on the same page. Champion was an oversight lol

Sorry for the long wait but HELL to the NO!! He isn't playable in Aggro which is what my deck is I want cards that help me win by T3-6 nothing longer! Even Xenagos was too slow in my testing. But I decided to stamp that deck and go GW Auras :D

If he said when he deals combat damage exile target enchantment he'd be about 1000x better. He'd punish thassa decks a little better since he has trample.
This, ATM my only answer to Thassa is {{Mistcutter Hydra}}.
{Skylasher}?
Or any cards with prot from blue :p
Quote from: ConanEdo on October 17, 2013, 01:34:22 AM
That's good for defense, but for offense I need something to get through consistently and hit them. Mistcutter usually hits the table as a 4/4 or 5/5. That's much better than sky lasher.
True enough c:
Mattao play test polis in you aggro deck lol Ive used it and was pleasantly surprised. I don't use mine much anymore either lol I switched to a boros heroic/enchantment deck. It's about 80% complete and wrecks face. Took 2nd at Fnm and isn't even complete....missing big staples like {boros charm} and shock lands. Once it's finished ill post it on here.

Look forward to it! But I did try Polis and he's not good ... At all... He doesn't kill the Gods, he's uber slow, and pro enchantments is meh. Like good they can't d-sphere it or pacifism. But that's about it. I can see it helping in a Hexproof matchup but that's about it
It all depends on your strat
He's a sideboard for my deck, my Aggro is strong enough, I'd rather have more cleanup like desecration demon or sire if insanity
If you're not running enchantments and your opponent is, he's not bad, but if you want to use the whip or bow: he's useless
Dead bridge Goliath
Dredge mangler
Even the 4/3 haste/unleash red UC in RTR I've considered over him
But I also run black red and green
This is completely unrelated but I first read this thread as "Polish Crusher" and thought Piotr got into amateur wrestling for a second.
