Composite Golem is what you're thinking of. It's already pretty easy to get all 5 colors, though.
That's the one! But yeah, these days it's a lot easier.
God, I miss the days when I could purposely design a deck with multiple instances of not having a playset of a card. I wanna be casual again but Standard and Modern are taking over my brain! D=
Also, is there any particular reason you're runing Utopia Tree over Birds of Paradise ? Just curious.
Looking back at my oldest decks (this is one of them), I realize they all have something in common: the top-end threats are really diverse, usually a bunch of 1-ofs. It doesn't feel awkward or anything while playing, though. When I think about it some more, instead of being just a bunch of singletons, it's actually 6-10 copies of "Awesome Guy, Creature - Kickass Dude". I get consistency while having the opportunity for every game to be wildly different, and it makes for a lot of fun. I wonder if the element of surprise would give any advantage if I started building that way for Standard...
Regarding your question: Reason #1 is because when I first built this deck (Invasion block was just finishing up), Birds of Paradise were really hard for me to come by, but no one felt bad about trading away a Utopia Tree . Reason #2 is a happy coincidence that I didn't notice until a few days after I added Avenger of Zendikar - Utopia Tree is a Plant!
I also just noticed that Utopia Tree is missing Defender. Which means it's a badass once it gets going.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. That's something I discovered back when I first added Forgotten Ancient to the deck. The base 2 toughness helps a lot!
Yeah, small spark spells can't wreck it, like Electrickery , Grapeshot and others
What would be a decent replacement for Maelstrom Pulse
I don't understand the question. What exactly are you asking?
What would be a card that could fill the spot of maelstrom pulse for the reason of i can not afford a 4x Maelstrom Pulse?
Okay, got it. If it were me, I would probably fill the space with some combination of Putrefy , Mortify , Dreadbore , Bramblecrush , and/or Beast Within , depending on what I had available.
thank very much :D

There was a golem that would be sac'd for all 5 colors of mana at once. I forgot it's name, it's been so long.
