OP Artifact Legacy combo
Legacy forum
Posted on June 20, 2016, 11:17 a.m. by Lord_Waffle-Sama
I think I've found a great Legacy combo for anyone running an artifact deck. Using the Artifact Lands from Mirrodin and the Prototype Portal, as well as Mycosynth Golem you can pretty much play an extra 1-4 lands every turn if you've got four PrototypePortal/ArtifactLand combos going on, and play a ton of artifacts for free. In my deck specifically, Blightsteel Colossus.

Umm there are much better things to do in legacy with 4 mana than put 1 extra land in per turn.

Sure, if i'm at a casual match, this seems like a fine thing to do to ramp up a little bit, but there's a zero percent chance that any person will do this in a legacy tournament.

The SRS forum is for discussion of new or potential releases. If you're posting about a particular format or existing product, use another, more appropriate forum.

Sorry, I forgot to add that Mycosynth Golem is a major player in the deck i run with it.

It's still not "great," much less Legacy playable. It's a novel interaction, in some sense, but it's resource intensive and inefficient.

I think the main issue is that Metalworker is just going to be faster. You can cheat him out much sooner than Prototype Portal. Not to mention, Prototype Portal is competing with Lodestone Golem, Phyrexian Metamorph, and Sculpting Steel.
Prototype Portal is definitely interesting, especially with moxen (Mox Opal being the strongest one). I think you would rather do something like cheat in low-cost, high-in-power-level artifacts that have serious downsides. Then, you get the triggers for whatever it is you're cheating out. For example, dumping out Phyrexian Dreadnought or Phyrexian Soulgorger copies and then sacrificing them to Altar of Dementia or Fling.

Link your cards, Ancient Den, Prototype Portal. How does play more artifact lands do anything noteworthy, given that you first have to get to 4 mana to play the portal thing?
This is a commander thing at best.
