Precursor Golem

Artifact Creature — Golem

When Precursor Golem enters the battlefield, create two 3/3 colourless Golem artifact creature tokens.

Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single Golem, that player copies that spell for each other Golem that spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those Golems.

Also, a small point on Amoeboid Changeling. You can use it to remove Precursor Golem's Golem type, but it requires the third ability which will make it not have any creature types. You can also make Precursor Golem an Elf with it, but that means using it's second ability which will still leave it as a Golem, as well as giving it all other creature types, not just Elf. You cannot use Amoeboid Changeling to set a creature to only having 1 creature type.

Unfortunately this won't work. Precursor Golem's ability triggers whenever a Golem becomes the target of a single-target instant/sorcery. This happens during the casting process of that spell, or the copying process, if it's being targeted by a copy of a spell. The first opportunity anyone has to make a response is after the ability has already triggered and has been put onto the stack (on top of the spell that triggered it). Responding by changing the Golem's creature type won't go back in time and "un-trigger" the ability.

If Precursor Golem's trigger was written with an "intervening 'if' clause" (e.g. "Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell, if that spell targets a single Golem, ...") then this would work, since the trigger would check the condition again before it started resolving, but that's not how the Golem's rules text is written.

In play, I have Precursor Golem, the two golem tokens it created when it entered, and Amoeboid Changeling. My opponent casts a Lightning Bolt targeting Precursor. I tap Amoeboid Changeling and use its ability to change Precursor's creature type to Elf...were my other Golems already being targeted by bolts due to Precursor's triggered ability, or will this stop that since he isn't a golem anymore?

Thanks!

I didn't even realize there were close to 160 golems before posting that challenge. That tribe goes pretty deep. And besides good ol' Sweeney Todd, there's hardly any tribal synergy (Yes, I know there's Precursor Golem). We need more of that, indeed.

Legendary Artifact Creature - Golem

Colored golem spells you cast cost less to cast.

Colorless golem spells you cast cost less to cast.

Sacrifice another golem: ~ deals damage to any target equal to that golems power.

6/8


Create another golem for that precon.

very original idea!!

What do you think of Precursor Golem?

Maybe also Arcbound Ravager?

Also, is this a Dune-themed deck by chance? Or just a fun title? :)

  • I wouldn't play Pyroclasm. That card is dead against many decks such as Ramp, Control, Combo, even late game Midrange. It requires splash to additional color, and even kills your own stuff such as Mages and Myr tokens. Try replacing it with Necropede as I did.
  • Precursor Golem seems like a bad choice. You yourself have no spell that could target it, so it's only disadvatage that opponent needs just one removal spell to destroy it.
  • In my deck, I should have probably played 1 Surge Node. It can be found by Trinket Mage. Unlike proliferate, it can place charge counters even on artifacts that lost the last one. In my version, if I ever went to 0 counters with Tumble Magnet, it got permanently useless. Also turn 1 Node into turn 2 Everflowing Chalice and activation is great.
  • Regarding win condition - don't play Eldrazi. Either play artifacts deck or Eldrazi deck. They have no overlap in synergies.
  • Do you really need to play multicolor? The less colors you play the more nonbasic lands with relevant abilities you can play. Look for lands such as This could be played even colorless.

No Precursor Golem? It's a great include for sure
