(AKA "Can I put my dice on that?")

I have no idea if this will work.

Gilder Bairn + Utopia Vow is the combo at the center of this deck. The Vow can also serve as a Pacifism in a pinch against an enemy's threat. Training Grounds make the combo infinitely repeatable: Tap a Gilder Bairn enchanted with Utopia Vow to make U/G, then pay U/G to untap (training grounds reduces Gilder Bairn's cost for the ability) and double some counters, then you're ready to go again.

I want to be able to protect my enchantments by making them artifacts (Liquimetal Coating,) which then makes them creatures (March of the Machines,) leading to them having Hexproof (Asceticism.) Then, since I can turn them into artifact creatures, why not grow them? (Spike Feeder + Simic Basilisk , which is what makes the Gilder Bairn idea so useful.) Feedback and comments welcome. Please keep in mind that this is a CASUAL deck, and an experiment as well. I'll post results after I test it out tonight (6/15/11.) Thanks for reading and I hope you like it!

UPDATE: I got the chance to build up my whole combo. I used Liquimetal Coating with March of the Machines on the board to make Asceticism a 5/5 artifact creature, then make that permanent with Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. I eventually got a +1/+1 counter on it from Spike Feeder, and made Asceticism HUGE. Also won a game at 120 life thanks to doubling up Spike Feeder counters.
