Have Doubling Season in play and play Precursor Golem to get a total of 5 3/3\'s for 5 mana, then survive until yous can play a kicked Rite targeting Precursor, putting 10 copies of Precursor, each putting 4 golems into play, plus the eight extra golems from the Precursor\'s second ability making an unkicked copy of Rite target each of the original four golem tokens, for a grand total of 58 3/3 golems entering your side of the field in one turn. if you have a Warstorm Surge or a Mass Hysteria in play, then you just won the game, unless your enemy has crazy life gain.

The major problem with Precursor Golem is that all it takes is one removal spell to wipe all of your golems.

That's where Ascetism comes in :) (or Vines of Vastwood)

But yeah, Precursor Golem + Rite of Replication has already been posted, Doubling Season (or even the new one, Parallel Lives) is kind of a no-brainer addition ;)

Wouldn't it be 90 golems entering the battlefield?

10 copies of the card

+ 4 tokens each --> 40 new tokens

+ 10 copies of each token already on the battlfield --> 40 more new tokens

Oh Dunny I see. I thought u were saying the opponent should use that as a removal spell for all.  I was like, then you just have a different kind of 3/3. . .

you would have 11 copies of precursor golem and 22 regular 3/3 golems (with only one doubling season of parallel lives. but, then if you cast a beast within you would have 363 3/3 beasts (each precursor would make the golem into a beast, so with 33 total golems and 11 precursors, you get 11*33 or 363)

You would get 2 Beasts per Golem (Doubling Season).

'you would have 11 copies of precursor golem and 22 regular 3/3 golems (with only one doubling season of parallel lives. but, then if you cast a beast within you would have 363 3/3 beasts (each precursor would make the golem into a beast, so with 33 total golems and 11 precursors, you get 11*33 or 363)'

Somewhat wrong here.

Assuming you have Doubling Season or Parallel Lives already in play, and an otherwise empty board, casting the Precursor Golem will also give you 4 Golem Tokens.

You then get the following from a kicked ROR on a Precursor Golem:
* 40 Golem Tokens (10 from each of the existing ones)
* 10 Precursor Golem Tokens
* 40 Golem Tokens (4 from each Precursor Token)

For a total of 11 Precursor Golems and 84 Golem Tokens, 95 overall.

EDIT: Note, just rechecked the original post and noticed a false assumption there too. It is important to note that the copies of ROR are also kicked - when you copy a spell it keeps all choices made about it.

When a spell is cast that only targets a single Golem, it is copied 11 times for each other Golem. e.g a Giant Growth gives +3/+3 to one of them, the rest get +33/+33.

A second kicked ROR gets absurd (hint - cast it on a Golem Token so you get more Precursor Tokens) but I won't go into that right now due to the absolutely absurd maths involved. Suffice to say it is a BIG Number.

However, a Beast Within would only result in 190 Beast Tokens (2 for each Golem) because only one copy of the spell will have an effect for each existing Golem (Precursor or otherwise). This is because even though you have 11 copies of the spell targetting each Golem (apart from the initial target), only 1 copy will resolve (destroying the Golem and giving 2 Beasts) - then the other 10 copies are countered due to lack of target.
