Golos doubling up with energy for a potent punch. How fast can you find Progenitus or Atraxa, or pull off Maze's End?

Why energy? This is actually a 5 color Energy deck at its heart, with Golos at the helm. What else does Golos do? Enter Maze's End alongside Aetherworks Marvel for doubling up on synergy. Marvel and Golos' 2nd ability are nearly the same payoffs with different activation costs. What brings it all together? Energy and land generation on ETB triggers, and a great adaptive flicker package for repeated value. Win with gates or huge beaters, with multiple adaptive paths to get there. Just don't keep less than 3 energy cards in an opening hand if you plan to go the energy route.
