Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
There's nothing subtle about this deck. The basic formula:

1. Cast a Grim Monolith (or complete the Urza land set).
2. Enchant with Power Artifact.
3. Cast a Colossus. Or two. Or three.
4. Copy it with Clone/Shapeshifters/Doppelgangers/Dance of Many.
5. SMASH FACE!!!
6. Untap with Chain Stasis, Intruder Alarm, Mind Over Matter, or Mists of Stagnation.
7. Repeat. (Don't rinse; the gore is good for your complexion.)

Now, some groups frown on the Grim Monolith/Power Artifact combination - and for good reason, as it can produce infinite mana! If they whine, then take out the Power Artifacts and replace them with Basalt Monoliths, Mana Vaults, Sol Ring, and the like- the form doesn't matter, but the mana DOES. Without Power Artifact, you need a minimum of eight artifact mana sources to keep from discarding stuff early. If you do use Power Artifact, though, you can put them on Colossus of Sardia or Skull of Orm if you have no other targets. Tricks: don't forget Chain of Stasis is an instant! If you have attacked with your hardware, you can untap them to use as blockers. Nine mana to untap Colossus of Sardia or eight life to untap Phyrexian Colossus can be a total pain - so why not do it for a lot less? Nothing like a surprise 9/9 blocker (or two or three), ready and willing to impart more pain!
