{maze of ith} - {mystifying maze}

You could throw in some enchantments to make maelstrom angel even more ridiculous.

At the moment it seems like the objective is to buff up angel using the maze elementals. If that is the case, i suggest more utility lands.
{Rogue's Passage}
{Gavony Township}
{Vault of the Archangel}
and even  {Cathedral of War} if you only swing with angel during the game.

I love this deck concept. I'll think more about it later.

The objective isn't actually to buff up the angel, this is just the stuff I have so far but thanks to all for your input, I could still use some more

 {Prismatic Omen} and {Joiner Adept} are both good cards to have in a 5 color deck.
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: Xaol on June 17, 2013, 10:36:58 AM
{Elvish Piper}
{Mycosynth Lattice}
{Tooth and Nail}
{Chord of Calling}

You'll want some other good ramp spells as well.

Post by: MuggyWuggy on June 17, 2013, 12:57:42 PM
Drop all gate cards
Throw in gate seeking defender and research your elementals

ETB is your friend, so a {Venser} or {conjurors closet} for sure
Title: Re: 5 Color

Looking for mor ideas, preferably multicolored
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: MuggyWuggy on June 17, 2013, 09:36:04 PM
 {Magister Sphinx} reduce to 10 life
{Conspiracy} turn all creatures to elementals
{Hell's Caretaker} revive your graveyard easily I'll say it again
Simic boros rakdos etc charms
{Traumatize} - this plus rakdos charm is just a good way to pull a nasty move to a GY supported deck
{Cloud Cover}
{Mayael the Anima} + big creatures
Eldrazi
{Survival of the Fittest}
{Animar}



I found with my 5 color deck it was about getting a few key mc items but using the best or each color,  {Hold the Gates} and  {Crackling Perimeter} should be considered since you're running gates

{Scapeshift} - replace land combo :)
{Amulet of Vigor} also

And I also would just search legendary and pull creatures that way

Most definetly {finest hour}, that and {maelstorm archangel} work awesome together

You have mazes end.

You've played 11 lands total and have scapeshift in hand, replace all lands you have for all 10 gates

You win ala mazes end, which is hilarious

You could drop  {Progenitus} for multicolored lolz.

And  {Conflux} is always nice in 5c

 {Eldramis call}
Fetch your piper
{Congregation at Dawn}

Free creatures fast :)
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: Rpbarber on June 18, 2013, 11:00:04 PM
I would recommend  {Dark Depths}. Once the new legendary rule hits  {Thespian's Stage} will combo nicely. Plus  {Crucible of Worlds}.
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: Double-O-Scotch on June 19, 2013, 09:05:42 AM
If you use {scapeshift} I recommend {knight of the reliquary}. Can get huge and searches for any land.
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: MarduArrow on June 20, 2013, 04:34:19 PM
32 cards still needed
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: MarduArrow on June 21, 2013, 12:54:45 PM
Any more suggestions? I'm kinda thinking one more card and then 5 of each basic land, looking for some feedback
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: All-Mana Mania on June 21, 2013, 12:59:17 PM

In a big game {collective voyage} can get most of your mana out really fast
Title: Re: 5 Color

I am having trouble linking it, but maelstrom archangel is awesome in 5 color.  One of my favorites, I wish it was legendary.

Watch out for the willbender morphed trap on that one :).   

P.s. - I am having trouble linking cards since the most recent update

Already in there
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: Arzair on June 24, 2013, 12:41:47 PM
Just saw that the archangel is already on your list... Again sorry for lack of links... Updated and hasn't worked since...or haven't figured it out lol

Serious suggestion:
Land fixing - all ten original duel lands would be the best... But not in everyone's price range
All ten shocklands
All ten check lands

Look up bloomtender - 2 drop that potentially taps for 1 of every color (5 total)

Elemental theme:
Your commander screams "build around me"
Fun recursion with evoke elementals for increasing options and versatility/flexibility

Lurking predators- perhaps cut the number of spells and increase the number of reusable creatures to maximize both potential plays
   Possibly get a creature that has etb effect for every spell cast by another player... Huge fun in multiplayer.

Warp world - if you don't like the present bard state, this can be a huge swing in the game, especially with etb effects and the possibility to overwhelm immediately with haste enablers... Fun ones like ( akroma's memorial)

A possible sac outlet - insurrection clear everyone's board but yours,

Homeward path - not mana fixing, but stops your big threats from being stolen, see also, bribery... They can try to bribery you, but you can just gain control of your creature

I will keep thinking of cards/ strategies, and post as I think of more. Hope this helps

Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: MuggyWuggy on June 24, 2013, 02:42:09 PM
 {Mundungu} - counter speller
{Acidic Slime}.- etb artifact/land/enchant destroyer
{City of Brass} - all mana
{Notion Thief} - extra draws
{Devout Witness} disenchant/kill artifact
{Legacy Weapon} - exile machine
{Wheel of Sun and Moon} - forever recycle cards
{Sylvan Primordial} etb mana ramp and game changer
{Swiftfoot Boots} - hexproof your .poo.!

I would suggest  {Cromat} over prog unless you have some good mana ramp.

Cromat is also pretty versatile, Progenitus is pretty epic also, but Cromat will be out faster; can protect you from flyers, and you can then elvish piper Progenitus so he could be out turn 4/5 depending on hand/ramp

Adding an {Amulet of Vigor} would fix that problem.

I've been putting the finishing touches on my 5 color EDH deck. I happened to have an Atogatog, a sliver queen and a Cromat/child of alara deck so I've been  thinking about combos for these decks.

{Isochron scepter}
Possibly want a copy artifact enchantment also since you have so many great tools for 2 mana that people sometimes only have one to use in EDH

{path to exile}
{swords to plowshare}
{pull from eternity}
{silence} (add the artifacts untapp during opponents phase for even more hate)
{redirect}
{reverberate}
{counter spell}
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: Gorzo on June 25, 2013, 07:21:22 PM
{Orim's Chant} is hilarious and cruel with the scepter, especially of you have {Unwinding Clock}.

{Angel's Grace} isn't bad either, not only for it's effect, but sometimes just for Split Second.

Post by: AdamS on July 24, 2013, 08:44:35 AM
u should use all of the different versions of  {Golgari Rot Farm} instead of some of the basic land/ gates becuz it gives u both colors instead of picking which one u want from gates
Title: Re: 5 Color
Post by: IntoFire on July 24, 2013, 08:57:08 AM
{Gemhide Sliver} + a  {Door to Nothingness} is always fun.
