At its very worst, it's a 9/3 artifact creature for {5}.
At its very best, it absolutely WRECKS with Distortion Strike and Vines of Vastwood.
At its most amusing, it is the target of either Shape Anew or Polymorph.

In all cases, this is a great card for Timmys and Johnnys alike. Spikes will get varying mileage out of it.

Love this card. Great art and great ability. I have 2 of these in my golem deck and he usually wins it with distortion strike + tainted strike. WIN

A couple questions:
What happens if I target a golem in my graveyard with something like Dead Reckoning, Disentomb, Rise from the Grave, or Nature's Spiral? If I target one of my golems with Corpsehatch, do I get a whole bunch of Eldrazi Spawn?

I think this is an underrated card, that in a properly given deck could be amazing. Pretty much Blue plus anything gives you plenty of options.

Blue for counterspells, Redirect (sure I'll take your spell that was going to help your creature to make my golems even more cool), Distortion Strike and Rite of Replication (not to mention fun cards like Vault Skyward - fly and draw a bunch of cards, Twisted Image - draw a bunch of cards, Twitch - tap/untap and draw a bunch of cards).

Green gives you other protection in the form of autocar... (see all)

This card plus Shape Anew equals delicious Thanksgiving pie, as long as you have the right cards in the rest of your deck.

Distortion strike, into berserk or assault strobe?
Seems like Kiln Fiend's three metal cousins

So if I mana leak a doom blade targeting precursor golem, can my opponent still use the copies to slaughter the tokens? Or does the effect not resolve because mana leak is on top of the stack?

Instead of Twisted Image, use Shadow Rift. Well, outside of Standard anyway.
