5-color control

by Boris on 21 August 2009

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is the deck I've had for a while. I've acquired most of the cards listed trading, and it's just for casual play, so don't worry about banned / restricted cards. Or sideboards.

Like most 5-color control decks, the idea is to get out the full spectrum of mana, then take control of the game.

Eternal witness is a gem - it can be used in great combination with cruel ultimatum, thought hemorrhage, reveillark, and soul manipulation. I'm going to try to find another one or two.

any ideas / thoughts / suggestions? please let me know!

Omfg. No offence, but this cannot do anything. Like the above comment, there is only like 2 playsets of cards... Your land base is horrific, you control is BAD! And only having like 1 of each of your kills along with other cards realy will not get you anywere. Mine is better, and its in standard.

how is "consistency" going to help me? it's only there for aesthetic pleasure.

What exactly is wrong with the mana base? I don't have any reflecting pools, but I'm only very occasionally manascrewed in any way either.

control is bad? in what way? I'd like to know. suggestions are welcome.
Kill is bad? again with the consistency thing. the kill spell base is spread out so I don't rely too heavily on one color.

Keep in mind this deck is restricted only by what cards I can get my hands on.

I'd like it if you could elaborate on how this deck is bad so I can fix it rather than just saying it's bad, thank you very much.

or, rather than saying that the kill is bad and so is the control tell me why you think so.

looks decent. you might want to add an ajani vengeant, and maybe take out the enlisted wurm.
best of luck.

Ok. I assume you don't care about legality whatsoever, and I am not sure but if this is just some kind of dream decklist, then might I suggest things like Time Walk, Ansestral Recall, Mana Drain, Demonic Tutor, and Force of Will? There are so many dam suggestions it would take forever.

this isn't a dream decklist; I have all the cards listed here, and this is the current build.
(Edit: acquired a cryptic command, now in the deck.)

regrettably, I can't get any broken alpha or beta cards, they're way too expensive, although I have been trying to get a few copies of force of will, and they'll go in as soon as I do.

any other suggestions?

basically its going to be difficult to draw the cards you actually want to draw - more threes and fours

I've been trying to edit out the bad ones, but it is very hard to do so. Every card is very different, and it's hard to say one is "better" than another. I don't have trouble running out of useful cards, either, the mulldrifters and numerous other card advantage cards don't allow that. If you have any suggestions, however, I'd very much like to hear them.

Look at it this way. Take the cards you have for each mana cost and decide which ones you'd rather be playing. Then remove the others and try to get more of the selected cards.
