Text goes here... eventually. That said, this hasn't been updated in years. Still nailing out the details, all comments and suggestions are welcome.

As of right now, it has a glaring weakness to kill spells and Ratchet Bomb. Sideboard Steel Sabotage in this particular case.

I believe this deck can drop Blightsteel Colossus on turn 4 or so, but that takes a solid combination of Grand Architect, Cerulean Wisps, and Precursor Golem. Not quite as fast as competitive modern decks, but this is more of a themed casual deck in modern format.

In case you missed the above combo, Precursor Golem copies and instants or sorceries that target any golem onto any other golems in play (this includes Mutavault, Chronomaton, Solemn Simulacrum, Golem Token, and even Blightsteel Colossus himself! This means that whenever I play Cackling Counterpart, A copy is made for every golem. That is nice and all, but the real power comes with the one blue mana spells Twisted Image and Cerulean Wisps. Targeting a golem with one of these spells ultimately means draw a card for each golem in play at the cost of one blue mana. In addition, Cerulean Wisps Turns all the golems blue AND untaps them. This combined with the ability of Grand Architect can drop blightsteel with only one blue mana if there are enough blue creatures in play.
