I was also thinkin the possibility to make U/B -sideboard. But the sodeboard's capacity is not gonna be enough. I should anyway include Doom Blades, Duress', Grave titans and maybe couple of Inquisition of Kozileks and there is already 14-15 cards.
Also all of the straight-hate-cards (Flashfreezes, Celestial Purges etc.) would be cutted off... so maybe i'll keep it U/W without any black stuff.
Well, I was drawn to Poly-Elspeth just for a minute because Elspeths tokens are exactly how many you need to pull the triple-fat-team.
I love Sun Beleren. I don't know that he's doing much for your deck, though as a 1-of and without big Sun.
See Beyond should also be looked into, as it puts a fatty back in your deck, should you draw him, and drawing with this deck is definately something you want to do.
/e: I think you can also change out the fetch-lands. They don't do much and 1 life can actually hurt vs. the faster aggro decks (I'm looking at you vampires & boros.)
/e 2: I actually think this could be really nutty. If you made a few SB changes, you could use transformational and play Caw-Go which is pretty good against some bad MUs. (The ones that don't interact much like Vala.)
/e 3 (lol) : Guess I didn't catch the text after your deck list above about See Beyond I think JtN as a 3-of MD is good. Same with DoJ, 4th in SB of course. Condemned could come down to 2 or 3. Play 4 Spell Pierce. Take out a Mana Leak if you have to. It's just too good right now. Gideons in the board to side in for Mass Poly's. This is looking sweet, dude.
Do you mean that i would place more counterspells in the sideboard so I can roll out my polymorphs and big beefs and create little by little eating hawk squadron -deck? that sounds interestin because then at least opposite player wouldn't understand that what a hell is going on ...feel so bluffy.
Leyline just because of the valakut and dmg/discard -spells.
And because of the starting casting cost of 0 there are four of them.
I haven't playtested this yet.. so I don't know are they so necessary.
1 Stormtide Leviathan
1-2 Elspeth Tirel (2-3 total.)
2+ Celestial Colonnade (great back-up when you've got control of a game but can't seem to get the nuts.)
My local shop didn't have any Leviathans and Colonnades were like 5€ each.
But BigFish-Angel-Emrakul lock is pretty deadly.
Maybe I really should run more Elspeths.
..and maybe little Jace isn't so good in this deck? Should I take it out?
He is sexy when using Sun Titan and demolish opposite's Jace every turn by bringin him back from the grave.
My main conceptual problem is that you aren't running any creatures besides hawks, so all your opponent's creature removal is going to be aimed for them. Of course they might just hold it because they're just Hawks, which I guess is what you're counting on. Other than that it feels like a normal UW control deck with an esoteric wincon.
Well the removal against a single Hawk doesn't matter so much because I still have three of them in my hand and Elspeth does also produce tokens. I've been also thinking about adding Dispels inside the maindeck. It's pretty strong answer against removal and in mirror-match or against controls. Maybe I should anyway get more Elspeths.
Greetings fellows! I created a new deck today "PolyHawk". I think that the idea of this deck is pretty familiar to most of the people but I'll explain it shortly anyway; Play Squadron Hawk and search all three copies out from your library, then play (maybe another hawk or) Mass Polymorph and pull out your most evil creatures. Usual people are using Emrakul, the Aeons Torn/Iona, Shield of Emeria/Stormtide Leviathan. Ofcourse you can choose whatever you want to devastate your enemy
I maybe should place all Journey to Nowhere in to the sideboard and add some counterspells instead of them. I didn't have any See Beyonds at home so I should also add those inside the maindeck because I don't have any plans if I draw Emrakul or Iona (isn't so bad draw as Emrakul) to shuffle them back and get them with Mass Polymorph.
Thank yuou for your time and feel free to give some tips and suggestions!
I didn't find Stoic Rebuttals so effective but maybe I really should play four of them.. dunno.
I can't include Grand Architects because there is no room for them and there aren't so much high cost artifacts those i could cast with it.. maybe the exile-ability of Brittle Effigy :\ and I'm trying to keep it as colorless as possible because of the All is Dust.
One big problem are also agros.. b/r and quests. Okay quests isn't so good match up in this standard but against my control it still rocks me out of my socks :\
I haven't been thinking the sideboard so much; maybe some original stuff.. like Negates, couple of Cancels (if you need more heavy counters)
First I wanted to make poliferate deck, but I assumed pretty fast that that it was overly slow with Contagions and Steady Progress's
I'm not sure that do I want to splash any other color in the maindeck or sideboard. I would like to keep it "clean" . Maybe black or white.
I think the main problem with this deck is that there aren't enough win cards in it; I've been thinking adding one more Jace more but it doesn't help so much. I found myself too often from the situation where I got Chalice and a land card in my hand and my opponent is attacking me with two or three heavy creatures. I can control the early game pretty well but on the turn seven I feel pretty naked if I don't have Jace on the table.
Cards Spreading Seas and Brittle Effigy are also cards wich I've been thinking. SS ofcourse because of the Valakut and "man-lands" and Effigy against big meat (and it can be also fetched with Trinket Mage).
Please suggest me some of your ideas and what would you do with this stack of cards.
Well the idea of polymorph is pretty dead if I add more and more creatures those I don't want to be digged out with Mass Polymorph.

I maybe still should add more Celestial Purges in the SB because they deal well with koths.
I also should get more Elspeths but I currently own only one so..
Thank you everyone so much for all of these great tips. Ofcourse there are always couple of skeptics but we need them too...
I've been almost thinking about Luminarch Ascension and now I'm almost sure that I'll put it (at least) in the sideboard.

Maybe I'll cut couple of Leyline of Sanctitys from the sideboard and replace them with Celestial Purges.

I can't take any low-cost-artifacts out because then Trinket Mage becomes more and more useless :\ and all high-cost-artifacts are win cards..
Maybe I should make some serious changes. Maybe U/B with Doom Blades, Consume the Meek and Duress'/Inquisition of Kozileks. And maybe Vampire Nighthawks in the SB.
..and sideboard is still pretty poor
Yea, this guy could be pretty effective.
One big problem are also agros.. b/r and quests. Okay quests isn't so good match up in this standard but against my control it still rocks me out of my socks :\
