The Pinnacle of Winning.

Description of deck by its author (quoted):
No alternate winning condition is as simple as put some counters on this and win. We saw it with a certain indestructible artifact and now we see it here. The advantage is that here we can speed up the process with extra mana. The Darksteel Reactor would win without you needing to do anything, just wait a number of turns.

I actually used Umbral Mantle in a deck after Shadowmoor came out, so I am using it again here. I have two cards that can tap for four or more mana. One is Rofellos, with 24 Forests in the deck, every land increases his tappage by one. Then equip him with the Mantle, and tap for mana, untap, and repeat, using the extra mana for the Helix Pinnacle. Bloom Tender will tap for five mana with a Transguild Courier in play. You can use it as well to make five mana, then untap and keep going, filling up your Helix Pinnacle.

Staff of Domination can be used as a backup untapper, but you have to tap for five mana to use it and still make mana instead of four. Bloom Tender will work, and Rofellos still only needs five Forests out to work. The Staff also gives you something else to do with your extra mana. Once you have an infinite mana combo out (remembering that those do not exist, but it’s still fun to call them that), you can use the Staff to draw cards until you find a Helix Pinnacle. then drop it and fill it up from there.

Haven’t you ever wanted to take an extra turn when you had out an alternate winning condition like Test of Endurance or Mortal Combat? Well, Green has few options here, but you might find a place to use Seedtime, especially if your opponents tried to counter or draw cards to find answers on your turn.

The deck features four Harmonize and Commune with Nature in order to help find combo pieces and keep going. My favorite trick in the deck is Privileged Position, an enchantment that can keep your opponent from killing your vital permanents. Note that you can still target your stuff, so you can equip a creature with the Mantle or untap one with the Staff.
