I actually kicked a rite of replication on this, my opponent dropped him. Needless to say MTGO nearly crashed and I reached the maximum creature limit... But he just Day of Judgment the following turn.

Maybe turn everything to Golems via Conspiracy or mirrorweave? I figured an Isochron Scepter w/ Guided Strike would be cool.

Rite of Replication kicked?
I Radiate it.
Watch as the stack falls. It's so cute. It mimics your own fate...
Each golem is targeted by a kicked rite of replication, for each golem.
3 golems
I cant even do the math.
I guess it would be 7!^3 or 3!^7
So at least 49.
Johnny do what you want.

So here's what you do with this guy -

Play Precursor Golem, and enchant him with Indestructibility, then play Xenograft naming Golem and Donate it to your opponent. Lastly, Murder one of their creatures, or your own Precursor, or one of its tokens - really, any golem. BAM! Needlessly complex one-sided board wipe that is, conveniently, repeatable and in Esper colours. For extra stupidity, imprint Doom Blade on Isochron Scepter. Two mana to wipe his board of all non-black creatures at will - though since you're going that route and not paying the cost anyway, why not use Terminate instead? Or, since we're really going needlessly complex, get two of the scepter, one imprinted with either Pongify or Rapid Hybridization and the other imprinted with Smother. Zap all their creatures in...

@XaiviarNightwing: Rite of Replication and Radiate:

1. Cast kicked Rite.
2. Precursor Golem makes two other copies of Rite on the stack.
3. Radiate the spell targeting a token, which adds a copy for the Precursor and a copy for the other token to the stack.
4. Two kicked Rites on the Precursor make 10 Precursor tokens, which make 20 vanilla tokens as they enter.
5. Three kicked RItes on the other two tokens make 15 more vanilla tokens.
6. Wait for the dust to settle.
7. You own 11 Precursor Golems (10 are token copies) and 37 3/3 golems.
8. Cast Traitorous Instinct on any golem. That golem gets +2/+0 and haste, every other golem gets +22/+0 and haste.
10. ATTACK FOR 1180! Only cost

.

Precursor Golem only copies spells as they are cast, not if they are added to the stack. (Else it would copy the copies it produces for an infinite loop.) It would be sweet if Radiate cast the copies, then you'd get three c... (see all)

What happens if I use vanish into memory on this?

Also I like that I can get 9 power for 5 mana in Blue.

Also it turns your opponent'm doom blade into a board wipe if you have an unnatural selection.

Also Vital Splicer pretty much makes this awesome.

In case you're wondering what the equations are to figure out your own maths when you kick Rite of Replication on your own Golem token here they are:

5x²+x : gives you the number of Precursor Golems you'll end up with after the dust settles. Of course to do this you have to have a golem OTHER than a Precursor to cast Rite on.

The math for figuring out number of tokens was a little more interesting, but this is what you end up with (using "x" for number of Precursor Golems themselves, and "y" for the number of tokens as you cast Rite):

10x² + 5xy + y - 5x + 5

Note: This equation includes the tokens that the new "x" number of Precursor Golems will make as they enter the field.

So to make mrhardy12's numbers even more accurate: After that initial 28, you end up with 186 Precursors and 1017 golem tokens. Next is 173166 Precursors like he said, and 1,291,862 tokens. Then 149,932,490,946 Precursors like... (see all)
