My take on the Colossus Affinity Aggro deck.

Ramp into Metalwork Colossus as usual, and then play Eldritch Evolution to transform it into an early Ulamog. Then you can activate the ability of the Colossus to pull it right back to your hand from the graveyard.

Caution should be used while playing Eldritch Evolution against decks that are running counterspells, as the sacrifice is part of its casting cost. In most decks, this would be devastating, but thanks to the ressurection ability of the Colossus, we have a chance to recover.

I also chose to run Lifecrafter's Bestiary for some extra card draw, and to use its Scry on upkeep to help find colossus while also making sure I keep Ulamog in the library for Evolution to work.

I'm currently trying to decide whether it'd be better to run Baral's Expertise or Paradoxical Outcome in the mainboard. I'm also trying to decide between running Foundry Inspector and Glint-Nest Crane, or two scrap both and run another Noncreature spell.
