About Precursor Golem

Precursor Golem, Artifact creature — golem, designed by Chippy first released in May, 2020 in the set Scars of Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.07. It's a key card in 2 combos.

This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on casting multiple instant or sorcery spells targeting creatures, as it can generate significant value by creating additional copies of those spells. However, it may be more situational compared to other cards that provide similar effects, such as Mirrorwing Dragon or Zada, Hedron Grinder, which have lower mana costs and can be more versatile in various strategies. Precursor Golem could see play in specific combo or spell-heavy decks looking to maximize their spellcasting potential.

Rules

01/01/11

Any Golem that couldn’t be targeted by the original spell (due to shroud, protection abilities, targeting restrictions, or any other reason) is just ignored by Precursor Golem’s second ability.

01/01/11

If the spell that’s copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Fireball does), the copies have the same value of X.

01/01/11

The copies that Precursor Golem’s second ability creates are created on the stack, so they’re not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell (like Precursor Golem’s second ability itself) won’t trigger.

01/01/11

The second ability triggers whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell that targets only one Golem and no other object or player. That Golem can be Precursor Golem itself, one of the Golem tokens it created, or any other Golem. It doesn’t matter who controls the Golem.
