For this round of GMAD, the card I've chosen is Hedron Matrix.
One of my favorite things to do is disprove someone when they say card A is strictly inferior to card B. Hedron Matrix is one of the best cards for disproving this argument.
A couple of rules:
1) Let's keep to the Vintage restricted list.
2) Please keep cards to under $20 each, going by the average price on here.
3) Of course - make sure to follow the GMAD Rules. Just a reminder that the rules have changed and the more you participate, the better chance of hosting the next one.
Adding in 2x Aetherling because a 10 power unblockable finisher seems pretty sweet. Another reason for this is the fact that its only a dual U requirement meaning we can still go multiple colors unlike some other unblockable fatties in blue. Also, if we go G/U it is possible to ramp this a lot earlier than it should be meaning curving wont be insane.
Since we will needs lots of mana to play then equip the Hedron Matrix plus lots of mana to play the creatures, I think mana rocks are probably the best way to get the extra mana. Adding 1 Sol Ring because it's restricted.
Lots see if I could sneak in some spontaneity to the deck- 4 Flowstone Blade. Our creatures are going to get pretty decent buff from their casting cost, right? why not pull from their defense to make them stronger?
I fully expect this card to be voted out immediately when we reach the cutting phase. I was considering Flowstone Slide for a pseudo-board clear/finishing blow; or Flowstone Surge for a cheap boost.

Im going to add in 2 Rogue's Passage. WE might not get our unblockable dude and even with the big buffs we might need to find a way to get in there. I was gonna go with 4 but with not knowing the mana balance I think 2 will be sufficient
We are going to need extra mana for the higher cmc creatures plus we will need extra mana to play and equip the Hedron Matrix. I'm going to add 4 Palladium Myr. If there aren't any other creatures to equip, you'll at least have a 5/5.

Ive got several ideals here but we're definitely gonna need some solid ramp. Things such as Hedron Archive come to mind. This being said though, I want another fatty and Desolation Twin sounds way too good, adding 2. I know its kinda a nonbo on the token but it is still a ton of power on the board (30 if we equip).
