At the beginning of combat on your turn, create a token that's a copy of equipped creature, except the token isn't legendary if equipped creature is legendary. That token gains haste.

Equip {5} ({5}: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

As a matter of fact, I'm about to get a Godo, Bandit Warlord to replace the Etali, Primal Storm. A friend mine is selling Godo as a package with a Helm of the Host, saying it creates an infinite combat, hence finishing everyone off.

And yeah, I might squeeze in the goblin somewhere in there once I get hold of it.

Minor epiphany and reframing: my infinite turns combo is exactly the same philosophy as Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host (legal in Bracket 3 pods everywhere), and might actually be more fragile. The differences are that I'm drawing a card between attacks, and Prophets needs to deal combat damage while Godo just needs to attack.

Goldberserkerdragon I, emphatically, want to play Zombies. The fantasy of it is so cool to me. Like I said in the description, my first deck when I was like 8 years old was a black zombie deck I played at the kitchen table with my step dad and his friends. This deck has a HUGE nostalgia factor for me. It's just been pleasant finding that it could hang with some of the big boys at the table, as well as being a pet deck :P

But yeah- presumably Godo was going to be the problem at the table. Usually after the rocks hit, the next turn is Godo and a Helm of the Host and it's over. The blue player also had 2 other counterspells in hand, but was out on mana after his first, given the early count on turns. To be clear, it was not the optimal play, given what happened after, but hindsight is always 20/20, right? Either way, I wasn't complaining LOL.

Also, I missed your question about the new Tapped Out look. I like the streamlined look! I'm here for any improvements!

I realized that I had moved Sword of Body and Mind out of the 99. This card synergizes with both Aurelia and Godo. Equip the sword on any other creature and you get infinite attacks (akin to Helm of the Host). I had a tough time deciding what to take out and decided on swapping out Mizzium Mortars. I really like this card for the 1-sided wraith effects and I always want at least two wraiths in my deck, but find that hordes of small creatures are less of a problem then one big one. And I still have Blasphemous Act and Pyrohemia, so keeping instant speed spot removal has priority (and I don't want to drop it any lower than it already is).

But there are other cards on the "chopping block", which include: Nahiri, the Lithomancer (I've literally never drawn this in a game but it's there primarily for the -2) or possibly Nahiri, Forged in Fury (again I cannot ever recall drawing this in game). We'll see.
