Splicers Show

Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer really caught my attention, and I recalled that other Splicers existed. All of the Splicers generate at least one 3/3 Golem token, plus they buff the Golems in some way. There's a lot of synergy here, and now I just needed to create a value engine.

Of the splicers, I argue that: Master Splicer , Sensor Splicer , and Wing Splicer are the best of the bunch. In my few games with the deck to date, giving the tokens flying and/or vigilance can be absolutely devastating. I have been toying with adding more anthems to the deck, so that may be a subtheme for a little growth.

Blink Show

By blinking the Splicers, you increase their ability to generate tokens. This deck wants to flood the board and apply maximum Golem pressure. Another benefit of some of the blink in the deck is using it defensively/offensively. Roon of the Hidden Realm , for example, can blink an opponent's creature, which can remove counters or just prevent that creature from being a target or attacking. You can also blink a creature that is about to be destroyed or otherwise targeted by something unpleasant. If the blink doesn't resolve until the end step, it can be a safe haven against board wipes.

Conjurer's Closet is likely the best blink in the deck since it's free and repeated. Glimmerpoint Stag and Flickerwisp both can target more than just creatures, which can also disrupt an opponent's board. Eerie Interlude can flicker all of your Splicers at once, which can be incredibly useful.

An important piece to defeat an opponent is Sudden Disappearance . Imagine having a Golem army, but your opponent can block and prevent a lethal assault. Now imagine if their board disappeared long enough for you to run in and punch them in the face? I could even imagine this card being useful politically, especially if an opponent has some ETBs they could reuse for your benefit.

ETBs Show

Much of this deck is built around utilizing ETB triggers. The Splicers are the central focus of the deck. In support of the Splicers, there are also other Golems, such as Glassdust Hulk , which can be a big, unstoppable baddie, Meteor Golem to destroy annoying permanents, and Solemn Simulacrum for ramping. Plus, each of those cards will benefit from the Splicers, as well.

In the name of ETB, we must include Panharmonicon . This will improve everything about the deck, especially token generation. More tokens generated, more cards drawn ( Guardian Project or Losheel, Clockwork Scholar ) and more cards milled ( Altar of the Brood ).

Tokens Show

This is the core of the deck. How do we generate more tokens? Adrix and Nev, Twincasters is one route. I will likely add Parallel Lives . Altar of Bone + Golden Guardian or Golden Guardian + Jalira, Master Polymorphist both allow for easy transformation to Gold-Forge Garrison . Altar of Bone and Jalira, Master Polymorphist both give the tokens more utility to find more Splicers. Digsite Engineer brings more token generation just by casting more artifacts. Given that the Golems are artifacts, the Constructs generated can get big very quickly. Thopter Spy Network is nice for thopters, but more importantly, it means the Golems help generate even more value. This deck makes use of the populate mechanic with Wayfaring Temple , Rootborn Defenses , and Growing Ranks .

Winning Show

At the most basic level, you flood the board with Golems and smash face. To aid in this effort we have a few options. Sudden Disappearance is easy mode. Likewise, Perplexing Test will allow you to slip past any nontoken force. This can also be used to recast your Splicers for even more value! Both cards make your opponent's board disappear, then you can waltz in for the win. Overrun is classic. Mirror Entity or Leonin Sun Standard allow the Golems to have intense growth spurts for optimal damage. Glassdust Hulk + Stoneforge Masterwork can win the day out of nowhere. Then, why not include an unconventional route to victory? Let's just show off that shiny Golem army with Epic Struggle .

Final Thoughts Show

I haven't played the deck too much so far, but it has found a measure of success. It can move quickly, which is good. As my group becomes accustomed to the deck, I imagine I may need to protect my Splicers better in some manner. I am considering getting Eternal Witness for the deck, so there's the possibility of recursion. I am also considering Angel of Condemnation and Angel of Serenity . I am also considering more anthem effects, such as Leyline of the Meek .

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
