Borderpost Colossus

Modern*

bladedfury


Sideboard


Win by dropping Metalwork Colossus on turn two or three and going beat downs big time! Woot woot!

God Hand: 1 Island, 1 Amulet of Vigor, 1 Metalwork Colossus, 1 Lightning Greaves, 1 Tooth of Chiss-Goria or Scale of Chiss-Goria, 2 Veinfire Borderpost, and draw into Fling.

Turn one: Play Island, and cast Amulet of Vigor.

Turn two: Tap and return the Island to hand as an alternate cost for Veinfire Borderpost, then play the Island again as your land for turn, and return it to your hand to cast the second Veinfire Borderpost. They both enter untapped, so tap both for mana to cast Lightning Greaves. You now have more than three artifacts, so cast Tooth of Chiss-Goria for free. There is now 12 Converted Mana Cost among artifacts you control, so cast Metalwork Colossus for free too! Equip the Lightning Greaves, tap the Tooth of Chiss-Goria, and Revel In The POWER that is an 11/10 with Haste and Shroud on turn two! Then attack before your opponent realizes what just happened.

Turn three: Attack again with the colossus, and assuming they aren't already dead cast Fling while they're tapped out or activating a fetchland to reduce the chance of a counterspell, and enjoy killing your opponent on turn 3.

Other turn-2 Colossus hands need two Borderposts, a Colossus, an Island, and either two Chiss-Goria artifacts or an Amulet of Vigor and one Chiss-Goria artifact. That's only 6 cards, so you have a bit of wiggle room to get a Colossus hand in multiple different ways!

If you don't have a Colossus in hand, Fabriacte and Treasure Mage both let you tutor up the Colossus, and most games you'll already have enough CMC to cast it for free. Then continue the beat-downs!
