This casual Golos, Tireless Pilgrim deck is focused around using the commander's activated ability. It has a high number of lands to assemble WUBRG quickly. It also includes a lot of cards which provide additional benefit when you play lands or have a high land count. It even ramps with lands through cards like Azusa, Lost but Seeking , Dryad of the Ilysian Grove , Into the Wilds , Llanowar Scout , Mina and Denn, Wildborn , Sakura-Tribe Scout , Walking Atlas , and Wayward Swordtooth . It also ramps with treasure tokens using Smothering Tithe , Revel in Riches , and Brass's Bounty .

Since the plan is to activate Golos, Tireless Pilgrim on each of your turns this deck doesn't include a lot of sorcery and instant spells. Instead permanents are used for targeted removal, board wipes, and counter spells. See Glorybringer , Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker , Null Brooch , Oblivion Stone , Transmogrifying Wand , Ugin, the Ineffable , and Zacama, Primal Calamity . The composition of this deck also makes Primal Surge very powerful.

Another goal of this deck is to sneak in combat damage via lands by playing Blackblade Reforged , Natural Emergence , Rude Awakening , Sylvan Awakening , and Trench Gorger . Arcane Adaptation turns land creatures into dragons so lands can trigger another dragon’s game text.

Here’s some possible combos to be aware of:

1. Emergence Zone + Golos, Tireless Pilgrim allows you to re-cast Golos on the opponent's end step to sneak in his activated ability.
2. Golos, Tireless Pilgrim + Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient allows you to activate Golos a second time for one mana.
3. Golos, Tireless Pilgrim and Bloodwater Entity + Brass's Bounty + Deadeye Navigator allows you to create treasure tokens and activate Golos. This combo goes infinite once you have 11 lands.
4. Karn's Temporal Sundering + Oblivion Stone + Revel in Riches allow you to sneak in a win with 10 treasure tokens depending on the current board state.

If your group doesn’t allow tutors, infinite combos, and land hate, then you can use the maybeboard as substitutes:

Bloodwater Entity —> Devout Witness

Idyllic Tutor —> Retreat to Coralhelm

Karn's Temporal Sundering —> Lathliss, Dragon Queen

Sire Of Insanity -> Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge

Behold the Beyond —> Emeria Shepherd

Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger —> Liege of the Tangle
