Deck Description

Keep in mind this is for casual play with some friends, I'm open to suggestions but not looking for anything expensive.

I've seen a few golem decks around, Most of them are multi-colored and use lost of splicers. Although I love the Venser combo, I can't afford that right now. Here's my crack at a mono blue golem deck utilizing counters with proliferate and some control.

Heres some of the combo's:

1. Surge Node + Proliferate + anything that needs counters = more golems! (Titan forge can be built up really fast this way. 1 surge node + 2 proliferate cards)

2. Grand Architect + blue creatures = 2 more mana a turn (thrumming bird comes to mind if I can't attack I can use him for more mana, also Wing Splicer becomes more useful then just dropping a golem.)

3. Unwinding Clock + artifacts = my artifacts are usually untapped which means more blockers & more chances to create more golems. Also (correct me if I'm wrong), untaps my artifact land.

*Edit*
Switched 3x redirects for 3x negates (credit to Dreddmor)

Deck discussion for Golem Control

I'd have never thought about a mono blue golem deck but all in all this is pretty legit. Well done. My only suggestion is to lose the redirect in favor of something like negate. Since you're playing blue, you might as well be playing 7 counterspells.

Once again though very well done and unwinding clock would untap your land as well. Seems like a pretty fun thing you got goin on.

Thanks! Yea counters are pretty nice, I think I'll do that and SB redirects. The reason for redirect is mostly against someone I play specifically (target player sacrifices a creature, draws cards, lightning bolts, etc. Thanks for the input.

P.S. I based some of my deck off of yours! I've been playing with the idea for a few days now, looking at all the golem decks around. Your deck and this one (http://www.mtgvault.com/DrawSimulator.aspx?DeckID=185436) are the two I used mostly to figure out combos and stuff.
