Notes

Goal for the Deck - Value creatures with ETB's, sacrifice them so they come back, and populate them! Win through overrun effects on massive golems.
Secondary Plan - None
Weakness - ?
Target Power Level - 6
Win Turn Goal - 11
DeckCheck - Turn 8-10

Landbase -
Staples -
Free Spells - No
Combo - None
Tutors - None

The goal of this deck is to play efficient, value generating creatures with enter the battlefield effects (targeting ramp, draw, and removal). Sacrifice them for cards or other creatures, generating a food token to re-use the effects. Then populate the tokens for MORE value. Eventually overrun others with large numbers of 3/3 or higher golems.

Alternative Commander - None.

Current Record - 0-3
- Vs. Urza, Sophia, and Baba Lysaga - Deck was super fiddly. Got Galadriel out, so was creating lots of value. Took a LOT of turns to get rolling, needs some work on the initial MV2-3 range to get things moving. Started doing cool stuff near the end, but it wasn't enough. Couldn't rebuild fast enough after a board wipe.
- Vs. Ishai, Voja, Kynaios - Didn't do much. Was mismatched. Is currently a 5 and the other two decks were high 7's. Disappointing. I've seen some explosive turns in goldfishing, but it's been disappointing while playing it. Maybe I'm trying to be too cute?
- Lost vs. Gitrog, Clement, Arvinox - Actually felt like I might beat Gitrog and Clement, was about to drop 12 5/5 golems. There were multiple board wipes slowing things down. I did feel like I needed 10+ mana to double spell. Might want more protection, maybe reduce the curve a bit.

All-Stars -
Darksteel Splicer was a THREAT. Especially with a token doubler in play. Expensive, but WILD.

Good -
Oltec Matterweaver - Seems made for this deck, making copies of the golems.
Angel of Invention - On the final turn, I managed to make 5 copies of this, and would have been in great shape, but I didn't have haste.

Bad -

If you want to rebuild, here are some options:
1. Abusing enter the battlefield for lands, effects, draw, etc. Basically VALUE.
2. Artifact creature synergies
3. All of the golems! (go wide strategy)
4. Food synergies
5. Creatures with Anthem effects - Sac them, copy them over and over.

Goldfished twice. Got the gameplan online, but was a bit slow (never got to 36 mana). Is it worth taking out a few fun things to do and adding veggies like Vet Explorer, and Cantrip creatures?

Weirdly this was the opposite of the previous experience. Cantrip creatures might smooth out the flow of the deck.

Goldfished three times. This can generate a ton of mana, got 46 in one, and 60 in another. Tons of mana. Unsure if the things I'm doing are impactful enough.
