Ever since I started playing Magic, I've wanted to build a successful Golem deck. Now, years later, I think I've at least found the skeleton of one.

The name comes from Isaac Asimov's novel The Naked Sun; it took place on a planet named Solaria, where robots vastly outnumbered humans, everyone considered themselves an expert on robots, and no one saw each other personally if they could help it, instead communicating via hologram.

The game plan of this deck is similar: flicker a bunch of human roboticists (aka Artificers aka the Splicers), until they're vastly outnumbered by their robot creations (the Golem tokens), and have formed a powerful enough army to overwhelm your opponent.

In order to accomplish this, I have 4 Blade Splicer, 3 Master Splicer, and 3 Wing Splicer, in order to both create and power up my Golems.

Blinking them, I have 4 Soulherder, the key engine card that grows my army and enables my card draw. I also have 4 Ephemerate & 2 Essence Flux for cheap sources of blink, and 2 Fortune, Loyal Steed for an additional flicker source. His ETB of Scry 2, and being a second repeatable source of blink will help smooth out how the deck runs. I also have 4 Dour Port-Mage so whenever I blink a creature, I can draw a card. Also can save a vital creature in a pinch if I don't have one of my answers in hand.

Finally, my disruption. I have 3 An Offer You Can't Refuse, and 4 Unsettled Mariner mainboard, and my instant blink spells also read "counter spell that targets a creature you control."

Overall, this deck draws a lot of cards, makes a ton of Golems, and protects itself very efficiently until it's grown big enough to win fairly regularly. I'm still tinkering, and haven't been able to play it last year as often as I'd hoped to, but I'm looking forward to putting it to the test this year!

Thanks for looking at my deck, all advice is appreciated.
