Serum Powder is good sideboard tech cause a lot of matchups comes down to crucible locks. I don't know if it's worth keeping in.

The interesting thing about us legacy players is that we consider Force of Will, Dark Ritual, Blood Moon, Tarmogoyf and Swords to Plowshare to be fair.
........Put me on record right now........I can't find a flaw with this on paper.
I love the fact you're using the Cloisters, and the complete raw power of Sweet/Strip/ 4x deep Cow's, synergy of tempo lock like CotV's and Sphere effects {the Golem was a given for a straight forward house like this} combined with the whole....TangleSweep!!!
This could be a outstanding deck with some practice vs todays meta I feel, so get this mold on workstation...that's were you'll find out if it can hang with the other tier contenders now.....it's clear this sucker doesn't need my help good member.
Nice deck!
S.M.
Just go advanced search at the top, then vintage, then under cards "Lodestone Golem." It's a new card, and it can take a bit for new cards to be played in vintage. That it has 13 decks already is a testament to its staple nature. I mean, it's two played cards in one, Juggs+sphere. Not sure what the big revelation is here. Imagine:
0
Artifact
T: sacrifice for three mana of a color of your choice. Target player draws three cards.
If I say "underplayed relatively to the hype preceding the release of worldwake" is it better suited?
I noticed in testing that tangle wire is kind of weak against other shop decks, and it might be decent to try the last 2 thorns and 2 ghost quarters in their place. I'll see.

i remember some black guy once called me called me cracker i didnt know what he was meaning. but them i found out that it is a Racially motivated term for white people, based on the fact that we're the same color as Saltines.
I think you misread, there are 4 of those lovely lands in the maindeck

No mana crypt because this deck is extremely slow, and runs 4 null rods. I did die to my own useless crypt because couldn't find a win con fast enough in play testing, that was enough to warrant not playing. The deck dosen't appear to me as lacking in acceleration either.
The kegs are sideboard because I run null rods, and null rod makes powder keg a sad panda.

Same goes for Crypt. It's good when you can weld it out, but without a welder, it's really deadly in a slow deck with few means to get rid of it.

Mana Vault is the 61st card. I've cut the build i'm currently testing to 60 cards by removing 2 thorns of amethyst and adding a karn.

So, plenty of examples of lists winning or placing with Lodestone Golem.
This all being said, I really like your build.
I too can see nothing needed, though you might want to peruse the lists I've provided as to ideas for maindeck tricks you might have missed or forgotten.
I really like this idea, and it has been suggested to me to look at Workshop decks as an entry point into Vintage gaming. With that said, how is this deck played? Anyone play something similar who could offer some knowledge of how this one works?
Workshop decks are a solid entry point into Vintage, take a look at this article from over on the Mothership for some generic (and reasonably recent) tech and strategy.

Not that gratuitous, but you get the point.
