I managed to win with a deck built around this card in flying colors. Fortunately my opponents weren't in possession of a spell that could destroy all enchantments or of any land destroyers. I also had enough creatures out there that they couldn't attack me. I've put Mana Reflection into the deck, but I may remove it due to expense.

@Kruggles: Each time you proliferate, you only add one more counter. Proliferating on the Pinnacle would only add one more tower counter-- it wouldn't double it.

Contagion Clasp proliferates for 4. Steady Progress proliferates for 2Blue. Contagion Engine proliferates twice for 4, or 2 per proliferation. None of these are as efficient as using the Pinnacle's own tower-building ability.

@ajpinton: "You can't Proliferate Helix Pinnacle due to it having shroud."

Check the reminder text for proliferate again. It doesn't target any permanents--instead, it asks you to choose any number of permanents. Choosing and targeting are two very different things. Rule 114.9a in the Comprehensive Rules backs me up:

"Just because an object or player is being affected by a spell or ability doesn’t make that
object or player a target of that spell or ability. Unless that object or player is identified by the

Surely this is a really boring way to try and win the game...?

Cloudpost, Glimmerpost, and Vesuva make it happen. Slow, easy to counter, but fun. And the look on your opponent's face after you build the Tower is priceless.

@superllama - training grounds won't work because it only affects the activated abilities of creatures. You could of course do mycosynth lattice and march of the machines, but I hope you'd have a source of mana other than lands...

Right...but it still works well with Omnath, Locus of Mana...I imagine it would be fun to power it up to 100 power, Whispersilk Cloak, pause, Triumph of the Hordes...and then play this
