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.

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

UncleLucky Thanks for the sugestions! Definitely putting in Dual Nature, Bramble Sovereign, Replication Technique, and Precursor Golem in.

Not sure about Thousand-Faced Shadow, though, because usually in other decks it has just died as a chump blocker early game as I have never achieved a good enough board state for it to be useful.

Scute Swarm was overlooked because I thought Yarok, the Desecrated said "creature or artifact," rather than permanent. That makes Avenger of Zendikar even easier to win with and opens up landfall possibilities.

Rite of Replication I don't like because it says "creature," rather than permanent, which means I can't copy lands for ramp or Panharmonicon.

Necroduality would only be good with Maskwood Nexus, which is hard to set up.

Absolutely love the Wizard tribal subtheme here. Kudos. You could lean into clone tokens to really get some huge ETB triggers:

  • Dual Nature would make the game wild, giving two copies of every creature played, including your opponents. With your general, Naban, or Panharmonicon, each ETB trigger would effectively happen SIX times.
  • Minion Reflector and Bramble Sovereign are a little safer than Dual Nature, but require a little extra mana for each trigger. But getting more than one of these effects on the field will quickly overwhelm your opponents.
  • Necroduality is another copier once Maskwood Nexus is up. Unsure if it'd be worth it otherwise though.
  • Elvish Hydromancer and Thousand-Faced Shadow give ETB cloning tokens for some fun chain reactions.
  • Replication Technique can copy your ETB creatures but also make copies of Panharmonicon or other enablers.
  • Rite of Replication is just nuts if you kick it on a Priest of Gix or anything else really.
  • Precursor Golem can generate a ton of bodies and be a great target for your own buffs or shenanigans if you add stuff above.
  • Scute Swarm will quickly get out of control once you start making copies of itself. Each land effectively triples your total number of Scute Swarm after 6 lands.

Orvar, the All-Form's ability uses an intervening if clause, so by removing the target you can keep it from doing anything (though whether this should be referred to as fizzling is a matter of terminology). Since Mizzium Skin is no longer targeting one of their permanents, Orvar's ability will not make a copy. You're good to remove the Precursor Golem before either trigger resolves.

From Orvar, the All-Form's rulings: 2/5/2021: As the first triggered ability tries to resolve, the spell that caused it to trigger and that spell's targets are checked again. Ignore any target of the spell that has left the battlefield by that point. If all of the permanents you controlled that were targets have left the battlefield by that point, the triggered ability will do nothing and no token will be created. If at least one permanent you control that's a target is still on the battlefield, the triggered ability will resolve, even if that permanent is now an illegal target for the spell.

"Fizzle" is magic parlance for "countered by the game rules for having no legal targets". Orvar, the All-Form's ability does not target and as such can not fizzle. Orvar is only going to make one token in this example. Whether your opponent will keep the copy will depend on how they stack their triggers.

If they stack them so that Precursor Golem's trigger on first so the way they will resolve is making the copy and then copying Mizzium Skin onto all of their creatures including the new one, then you can respond after the token is made and kill it. If they stack them so that they get all of the Mizzium Skin copies first tehn you will have to respond to it and the token will survive.

Question: How does the stack work with Precursor Golem and Orvar, the All-Form on the battlefield. My opponent plays Mizzium Skin, targeting precursor golem, and I respond with a removal spell. Will removing the golem before orvar resolves make his ability fizzle?

For what purpose is Precursor Golem in your 99? I guess Just for the tokens, right?

Isn't it way too dangerous to play this card? What if an opponent exiles only one of your golems while Precursor Golem is on the field. Or am I missing something?
