One of the few ways you can play Progenitus!

An artificer's experiment in cross-material engineering found its own purpose as an interpreter between cultures.

this is not a mana ability so you can use Rings of Brighthearth to get 10 mana and play Progenitus fairly easy

Hmm. You'll have to explain to me how this isn't a mana ability Equinox. Official rules are so convoluted but it looks like a mana ability to me.

605. Mana Abilities

605.1a An activated ability without a target that could put mana into a player’s mana pool when it
resolves is a mana ability.

I think it meets those criteria.

also useful for other high cost cards like darksteel colossus, door to nothingness etc.

Actually, seeing as this was first released in Fifth Dawn it was probably intended as an easy way to get the Bringers out without hardcasting them for 9 mana.

surewhynot, you just arranged an unstoppable, infinite, omni-color mana combo with precisely two cards.
Nice job.

A decently sized body that can come in handy when you want to cast either Sunburst spells, or one of Conflux's many 5-color spells and effects. All in all, not a bad card, and a good way to get 5-colored mana without running too many multi-lands or the like.

@Wraique - think your comment is meant for BioPrince. :)

More like Golem of Ridiculous Amounts of Mana.

They should have something like this but Mythic and 4 Mana to cast. It would be the ultimate card in any 5-colored deck.

@JL_Weber: Master_Of_Etherium actually has two shticks. Either it's capitalizing every word or it's quoting the flavor text as it is. He went for the second option this time.

Works well with Kaleidostone if you're trying to pump mana for Progenitus or Door to Nothingness That way you could cast the stone earlier for 2 and draw a card, which makes the draw useful in context since you intend to use it later. When you get the golem out later you have 2Two or BlueTwo or BlackTwo or RedTwo or Green available for 5 mana rather than trying to get 2 golems or pump hybrid mana some other way. Kaleidostone can also contribute to metalcraft if you're using it.

What's this? Your Composite Golem is evolving?
...
Your Composite Golem has evolved into Fusion Elemental!

Alternatively, if your Golem happens to be holding a Heap Doll, a Reaper King.

T1 - Kraken Hatchling
T2 - Everflowing Chalice for 1
T3 - Grand Architect, tap him and Kraken Hatchling for 4 and toss down Nim Deathmantle and Lightning Greaves
T4 - Treasure Mage and tap all three to cast this guy. Infinite mana Blue Sun's Zenith or just cast Emrakul.

@NoobofLore

Well it is a strong 2 card combo, but since the equipment is a triggered ability can be stopped with a naturalize.
