The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Who ever gets 100 counters on Helix Pinnacle before their opponent kills them?
You do, now.

How to Play

Use Enlightened Tutor to search for a Helix Pinnacle - you need to get one out as early in the game as possible. If you already have a Pinnacle out, tutor for a Doubling Cube instead.

The deck relies on lots of mana. Use Expedition Maps to search for Cloudposts (or Forests or Plains, if you're hurting for colored mana.) Use a Vesuva to copy a Cloudpost if possible.

Once you have a Doubling Cube, tap out during each of your opponent's end-of-turn, then use the Cube, and pump the mana into the Pinnacle. Doubling Season will put 2 counters on Pinnacle for every 1 mana you spend on it. (And, if you have Seedborn Muse out, do all of this during your end-of-turn as well.)

Deck discussion for Helix Pinnacle

You are aware that Helix Pinnacle has Shroud already right? You wouldn't need Sterling Grove to protect it. I think there's a few things in this deck that may need to be changed out now.
Sword could be dropped, as well as Solemn Simulacrum. I'd add more Safety cards, like more Ghostly Prisons, Windborn Muses. Add more Glimmer Posts and more copy lands.
Mesa Enchantresses would be a good idea too. And Gilder Bairns wouldn't work on Helix Pinnacle anyway. Can't target Helix Pinnacle, so I'd drop them.
That's just what I think you should do though. Maybe a Doubling Season or something that'll double counters as well.

Oh my god... that shroud destroys my whole combo! I guess I need to start reading my cards.
Thanks for pointing it out, and for the other suggestions. Back to the drawing board...

Lol. Sure. I'm here to help. My last tip would be to add in more consistency to the deck. Instead of running single cards that all basically do the same thing, minimize the randomness and up the number of cards that work and drop the ones that don't. For instance, I would drop Prison Term, Faith Fetters and Cage of Hands for more Arrests or Recumbent Bliss. Also, you need 3-4 Sphere of Safety, they're what's going to make the deck really shine.
You have some outstanding cards in the deck, just need to up them to make your deck more effective.
