Precursor Golem

Artifact Creature -- Golem
3/3
When Precursor Golem enters the battlefield, put two 3/3 colorless Golem artifact creature tokens onto the battlefield.
Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single Golem, that player copies that spell for each other Golem that spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those Golems.

* The second ability triggers whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell that targets only one Golem. That Golem can be Precursor Golem itself, one of the Golem tokens it created, or any other Golem. It doesn't matter who controls the Golem.

Is it just me or are these... not bad?

Obviously they're no substitute for actual duals, but for the budget-minded player it might not be a bad last-minute replacement when you're scrambling to get your deck together.

I went to school in NYC and currently live in Waterbury.

Just take Metro North to Waterbury.  It's $12.50 off peak from GCT one way and you can literally walk to the venue from the train station in less than ten minutes.
