Deck Description

I did it for the LOLs. I've seen plenty of Doubling Season / Saporoling decks, and they can generate a tonne of creatures; it occurred to me, however, that I can take that same idea and go completely overboard with it. First, lets do some math.

=======================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Doubling Season x4
Copy Enchantment x4

***Mycosynth Lattice***
Sculpting Steel x4
Phyrexian Metamorph x4

***March of the Machines***
Phantasmal Image x4
Clone x4
Cryptoplasm x4
Quicksilver Gargantuan x4
Vesuvan Shapeshifter x4

=======================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================

Thats 9x4 (36) copies of Doubling Season. For every token that enters the battlefield, then, an additional 2^36 (68,719,476,736) copies generated. This is where it gets fun. I cast Precursor Golem. Precursor enters the battlefield and generates 2x Golem tokens of his own, and each one of those tokens brings 68,719,476,736 friends along. So, now we have one Precursor Golem and 137,438,953,474 Golem tokens on the battlefield.

Now I cast Rite of Replication on Precursor, no need to even pay the kicker cost! Oh hell, let's pay the kicker cost.. Rite of Replication copies 137,438,953,474 times to target each other Golem, plus the original spell, to create five copies of each. Then each of those copies brings along yet another 63,719,476,736 friends. Lets check the math:

5x Precursor Golems enter the battlefield, multiplied by all those Doubling Seasons, that's 343,597,383,680 Precursor Golems entering the battlefield.

I now have 343,597,383,686 Precursor Golems, and the 343,597,383,685 that just entered the battlefield generate two Golem tokens a piece. That's 687,194,767,360 new Golem tokens, each one bringing 68,719,476,736 additional Golems

Now I have 343,597,383,686 Precursor Golems, and 47,223,664,828,833,891,090,434 Golem Tokens (including the original few. Hah, I just decribed a hundred billion Golems as a "few"). And I haven't even thought about all those other copies of Rite of Replication yet!

*sighs* My brain is starting to hurt... it doesn't help that my calculator starts displaying scientific notation after fourteen digits.. Oh well, moving along.

Next, Rite of Replication copies each of the original 137,438,953,474 Golems five times, for 687,194,767,370 new Golems, and once again, thanks to Doubling Season, each of those brings along another 68,719,476,736 friends. Another 47,223,664,829,383,646,904,320 Golems just entered the battlefield!

By the end of it all, I have:
Precursor Golems: 343,597,383,686
Golem tokens: 94,447,329,658,217,537,994,754

That's three hundred forty three billion, five hundred ninety seven million, three hundred eighty three thousand, six hundred and eighty six Precursor Golems, and.. oh hell, I don't even know how to say how many Golem tokens that is!

But we're not done yet! After Rite of Replication resolves, I promptly forfeit the game and burn the deck. Such perfection should not be copied!

=======================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================

And here's another fun idea. Once you have Mycosynth Lattice and March of the Machines out, try casting Followed Footsteps on one of your Doubling Seasons. During your first upkeep, you get 68,719,476,736 copies of Doubling Season. In addition to the effects of the original 36, that's now 2 ^ 68,719,476,772 additional tokens for every token that enters the battlefield (which is more than I could possible care to calculate). My work is done here :) You can figure out what happens during the next upkeep when Followed footsteps creates yet another Doubling Season creature token ;)

I often like to think of myself in a large battlefield casting these things while playing just to have more fun with all the cards and their flavors. Visually speaking, could you just imagine what it would look like to see all those creature burnt to death by a single lightning bolt?

I found a quicker way to do this and with less cards, but a 3rd colour is needed:

Turn Doubling Season into a 5/5 creature with Opalescence and then enchant Doubling with Followed Footsteps.

Now if I'm correct, you'd need to start using this formula to keep count of your Doubling Season tokens:
Y=2^n where Y is the number of tokens you put into play instead of 1, and n is the number of doubling seasons.

Enjoy the migraines keeping count of those token Doubling Seasons :p

:p Unfortunately I can't take credit for finding the combo nor can I take credit for the formula :(

There's an argument that the combo would actually produce infinite copies as the copies. The argument is that the copies would produce copies that in turn would produce copies... But I think that argument is wrong because as far as I understand it, the tokens should hit play all at once.

I would have to agree with you Dedwards.

first upkeep and only 1 doubling season in play it would make 2 tokens because the doubling seasons only triggers off the effect that makes the token not the token itself entering the battelfield. now on the 2nd upkeep you would still have just 1 token entering but it would be 3 doubling seasons out there now so it would multiply by 3 at that point (or how ever that works). but again the effect that makes the token only happens once so each season would only trigger once.

well that's my limited understanding of how those work anyway. :)

My original plan was just to turn Doubling Season into a creature and make copies with Followed Footsteps, but then I thought.. the goal is to make big numbers happen, all at once. So I went with Precursos / Rites of Replication instead.

Btw, this deck costs about as much as the United State's GNP squared if you own a physical Golem token for each token produced (assuming $0.10 per token). Just a little food for thought :P

Actually, I think you can decide which order tokens come into play in that case. One of my friends used ghostway in an allies deck, and we looked through the rules and he could decide.
I think it works the same way for you, and that Doubling Season / Followed Footsteps would work, and create infinite at once. And you'd need a lot of money for all of those Doubling Seasons, too.
While I type this, my mind is exploding because of the sheer amount of golems. By the way, those golem tokens alone would weigh 3.77789319x10 to the 20 pounds.

Hey guys, he knows it's easy to kill. :P That's not the point! The point is that he can get out mindblowing numbers of tokens in a single turn, not that they might not survive longer than the turn they come out.

Still blows MY mind, at least. LOL

I know Doom Blades, et al., would kill every token. This deck is only playable within a vacuum, and even then only because I wanted to type out absurdly large numbers, the likes of which saproling decks have never seen.

I would put in Parallel Lives, but honestly.. I'd have to rewrite the entire deck description over to accommodate 2^40 tokens rather than 2^36. Don't make me do more maths :(

Also, I find it funny that this of all my decks would make it to front page XD

Sorry to ruin your guys day. having more than one doubling season out does not double the affect. Doubling season is a replacement affect therefore will only happen one Having 1 doubling season out and making 2 tokens off of persecueter golem would make 4 but having 2 doubling seasons does not then double that. Replacement affects are a bitch.

nick's right - you can even read it at wizards when they talk about parallel lives. an example of which, if you have four parallel lives out, if you generate one token, you actually get 16.

Now, i really enjoy the absurdness of this deck, and I would just like to make a small suggestion to makes the winning with this deck even more absurd!

Everyone can tell then when you have such an ammount of golems, victory is imminent. But isn't it just a bit boring to win just by making all your golems hit your opnnent in the face? (even though his face will be pretty mashed up). I suggest you add 1 Magnetic Mine, 1 Sky Swallower, and 1 Oxidize. What you do then is, you play the Magnetic Mine (after having made all your golems and your golems' golems), then play Sky Swallower so the your opnnent gets ALL your permanents, AND THEN! You play 1 forest and Oxidize his newly aquired golems, making him take even more insane ammounts of dammage, than one would like to think about!

Anyhow, awesome deck!

Let's see how much golems can we put into play shall we?
First of all let's just place sum things so we can double our doubling seasons freely

1x Mirror Gallery
1x Mycosynth Lattice
1x March of the Machines

Ok, now our doubling seasons are all artifact creatures. So let's clone them!

4x Doubling season
4x Parallel Lives

4x Copy enchantment
4x Sculpting steel
4x Phyrexian Metamorph
4x Phantasmal Image
4x Splinter Twin
4x Cackling counterpart
4x Clone
4x Quicksilver Gargantuan
4x Vesuvan Shapeshifter
4x Copy Artifact
4x Evil Twin
4x Sakashima the Impostor
4x Vesuvan Doppelganger

We'll end up with 60 doubling seasons, so when we want to place a token, instead we'll place 2^60 tokens. (that's 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 tokens =P)

Wait, we still have Rites of Replication!
Ok, let's clone our doubling Season 5 times. NO! 5 * 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 to be precise.
that will end us with 5,764,607,523,034,234,880, besides the initial 60 we already had =P.

And now, if we would like to play another Rites of Replication, instead we'll be placing an astounding
5 * 2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940 new tokens,
that will add up with the ones we already had,
5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940
Which can't be formulated by any calculator I know... (and we only used 2 of our 4 Rite of Replication...)

3rd Rite would turn out something like this

5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940)

And finally the 4th would turn out to be so big I myself don't understand how the hell would I find the money to buy so many tokens xD

5 * 2 ^ (5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940)) +
(5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940))

And at last, let's just place our 4 Precursor Golem shall we?

1st would go like

1 + 2 * (5 * 2 ^ (5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940)) +
(5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940))) Tokens

2nd would go like

1 + 2 * (5 * 2 ^ (5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940)) +
(5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940))) +
1 + 2 * (5 * 2 ^ (5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940)) +
(5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940))) Tokens

3rd would go like this (all ppl gather up to see you getting your truck load of tokens)
p.s. a truck wouldn't be enough xD

1 + 2 * (5 * 2 ^ (5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +

(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940))) +
1 + 2 * (5 * 2 ^ (5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940)) +
(5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +
(5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940))) +
1 + 2 * (5 * 2 ^ (5 * 2 ^ (5 * (2 ^ 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) + 5,764,607,523,034,234,940) +

That's if my calculations are correct of course =P
THANK YOU FOR THE BRAIN TEASER SavajCabbaj! I owe you one ok?

What was i thinking =P i could sum that by saying the we would place:

60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60) + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60)) + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60) + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60))) Rites of Replication,

and a total of

4 + 8 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60) + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60)) + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60) + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60 + 5 x 2^(60 + 5 x 2^60)))) Golems

play a xenograft naming goblins then fling a precurser XD just for more shinanigan funs. cuz the last thing you wanna do is attack with x golems to have them be fogged or something rediculous. i will say cudos to the nuts combo but i have a deck with an answer already.

infinite mana combo, COP artifacts. ( the deck has all 6 cops in it so at some point it no longer matters what the deck does unless you make that many eldrazi spawns and play an intangible virtue to give them +1/+1 and vigilance, which is totally possible.) and another fun idea, add 4 gutter grimes and then just kill off one of your non-token creatures. you'll get that many slime tokens + that many mines parallel lives in counters on gutter grimes. so you will have x tokens with yx4 power/toughness. XD

love the shinnanigans decks.

or simply be a dick and add black so you can rite of replicate on an obliterator , xenograft so the obliterator(S) are golems, and then when he goes to spell in some direct damage, you redirect it to a precurser to make them sac every permanent they have and ever will have in equivalency.

perhaps a more effective approach would be panoptic mirror and saproling symbiosis. Only takes 2 cards and doesn't leave all your enchantments open to creature destruction.

i believe it is possible to make even more things with only 4 cards. while it's not the golems they are creatures. I'm sorry to necro this tread but it's kind of and interesting question that i came up with that corresponds perfectly with this thread. so the quest/problem how many things can you put into play with out going infinite and only using limited (it can be arbitrarily large just not infinite) amount of mana?

while i will not limit you to single copies i believe if you do it rights it's all you need anyway. for reference i will say that my "combo" uses 60 mana total for the entire chain. i would post the number, but legitimately i haven't figured out how to even calculate it yet. i am going to do some research tonight and see if i can post the answer as best i can and at least put down my list of cards and the order to cast them in (yes that does matter for mine). while i believe i can out number everything posted on here with just 4 cards the total list is a full 7.

my store has a pretty dedicated EDH following so conversations like this one come up fairly often hence why i searched out a thread like this. i will post full answer hopefully over the next few days. it's an immensely complicated process to put it all down correctly into an calculator and or just on paper.

i will tease all of you by posting part of the equation that is happening while the 4th card is almost fully done resolving in all it's forms. 4,718,610 X 2^4,718,611. I'm pretty confident that this number would calculate out higher than anything listed on this thread yet and this is before I'm even though with the 4th card. this thread is titled most absurd and i think i can give a finite answer within reasonable constraints for in fact the most.
