Colossus of Akros

[Metalxdelights]

I've pulled about 4 of these in boosters from my local Target and I'm yet to use them in any of my main decks. If you use or have used this card, what kind of decks do you run? Any tips on how to best incorporate it into a deck. I'm curious. Thanks

It is amazing in Tron! A friend of mine won a match in the fourth turn: he casted Explore in the second turn, the Colossus in the third, Monstruosity and GG in the fourth.

I see no way to ramp to 8 mana turn 3.  Especially if you use explore.  The way I see the only way you could do this is:

T1: {Forest} {elvish mystic}
T2: {forest} {elvish mystic}x3
T3: {nykthos, shrine to nyx} {colossus of akros}

Even then I can't see you monstrousing T4.

He said Tron. I don't think that's a standard deck, but I don't really keep up with the standard scene either, I could be wrong.

I would go green devotion.  Lots of {nykthos, shrine to nyx}. {wandering satyr} {karametra's acelote}s one drop dorks, {garruk  caller of beasts} to get more mana dorks {burning tree emmissary} to turn on your devotion! and ramp into it.

I pulled 1 {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx} and two {Karametra's Acelote} from my holiday box, and one is a foil but the art is different.

And thanks for the info, it's much appreciated.

{Ordeal of Nylea} {Karametra's Acolyte} and {nykthos shrine to Nix} are great for tons of mana. (Add in a {alpha authority} and {doubling season} for that monstrosity cost )
30/30 indestructible trample hexproof can't be blocked except by one creature?
Did I just build a mono green deck?
Have fun!

He's replacing my expensive ravager in my artifact deck. So easy to ramp to in casual.
