Replicating Golems

Biggest issue is things like bolt rip through your golems, even with spellskite.

Redirect does the same thing as Spellskite. Stave off or the blessing work. Vines of vastwood is even better in this deck. However the manacurve will be a big problem against RDW or any Aggro deck. And without good removal you will get a lot of problems on the board. Another problem is that the Cryptoplasm (nice combo :)) only triggers after a turn. Add some Memnite, Ornithopter etc. and some one or two drops to stop your opponent early game. BoP has just been reprinted so you can use it for mana. Also plenty of green walls that add green mana. You can have all your mana tapped and still play Vines that way.

redirect would be nice but it only changes the target after the golem has been already been targeted meaning precursor still procs and puts the copies of the spell targeting your other golems on the stack
vines is the best way i can think of to prevent my golems from being bolted

You could give one golem protection, and all gain it then. Or you could unsummon.

well vines is there for protection
so is withstand death
i considered unsummon but i think narcolepsy is is a more permanent option

Asceticism works really well for protection but there are other cards like Apostle's Blessing, which is white phyrexian mana so if you dont mind loosing 2 life it aint bad, it can also be used when attacking so as your opponent cant block with artifacts or creatures of the chosen colour - could be a problem against multi coloured decks however =/

Cryptoplasm doesn't work the way you think it does. It's already on the field when it copies precursor. Precursor's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield. Tel-Jilad defiance is very efficient card draw with precursor on the field. Also, Fabricate and Polymorph are not standard legal, even if they were... You have too many small artifacts to make Poly useful. You'd end up often getting ornithopers a palladium myr and a prototype portal or some other semi-useless combination of cards like that.

You're on the right track with the other things though.

Doom Blade

Gobbo Grenaide ;P

or vastwood vines to protect from the froggy spell

How about canopy cover for you precursor? it's a permanent enchantment that effects all your golems with hexproof and can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach. If you do that you may be able to take out some distortion strike for something else since they are all pseudo unblockable.

what if you were to equip something to precursor golem? would the equipment effect other golems? like lets say you used darksteel plate on it. would all your golems be indestructible?

i have a question
can anyone please help me out?

if i played polymorph with multiple instances of precursor golem on the field it would be copied multiple times for each golem on the field correct?

my question is after it resolves for each golem once what happens to the extra copies? do they fizzle with no target or are they now forced to target the new creatures brought out by polymorph this turn? or is it that i just bring out multiple permanents for each golem sacrificed?

I still like the idea however it has the same faults as before. A mono black rush/ rdw deck would just finish it before you are able to polymorph, rite or even cast a golem. If you splash green you could add overgrown battlement to help you cast rites with kicker sooner. Or ascetism (it is expensive so has the same problem).

Hmm, interesting. You could use Shape Anew on the cheapo golem tokens (they count as artifacts) to get the bigger golems like the Blightsteel or Emperion out.

put in 1 or 2 twisted image for card draw

Asceticism would be a good card for this deck your creatures gain Hexproof and regenerate.

I think Apostle's Blessing would be a great card in here, you can protect with it but also make them unblockable, so that's just another way to do it..

is there a more contemporary card that can replace fabricate that i dont know about?

Xeno Graft (Goblin) and Goblin Grenade. *NUKE*!!!

BTW, if you really want to get your Blightsteel out I would suggest Mass Polymorph since you have the potential to make lots of tokens to exile.

I've practically made this same deck. Several times over... And yet no one ever gave it so much love. D:

Anyways, the way you've built it is worthy of the likes! Great deck.

ok deck look at my decks that i am using

what should i run instead of fabricate? it needs more access to precursor golem...

i like it! Really cool deck.
Not sure you need something in place of fabricate. think more control. :) into the roil, stoic rebuttal, mana leak, etc... are all cards you should check into.

also, I'd look into some more mana ramp too. although walls are cool ramps, they lose impact when you aren't playing other ramp too / green sun. I like birds and rampant growth the best (solemn is a good play, but still not awesome. especially if the soonest you can play it is t4 and you have no control.


I like the deck though! very fun!
check out my new theme deck? Like for like? comment for comment? i'm interested to know what you think of it. :)

I don't know if you want this to be standard, but I have a golem deck with precursor golems and in case there's any removal, I use Pteron Ghost to regenerate them. Just something to think bout.

SUCK MY BALL SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D good deck

I can see precursor golem backfiring VERY badly. Though if it goes well it should go VERY well. I would suggest adding moar splicers, and perhaps a doubling season if you can get your hands on one.

Apostle's Blessing is a good protection card.
