Deck discussion for Sanctuary

I've tried about 14 different builds of this style of deck and have never, ever gotten something that was competitive at a table. You end up fighting the mana mixture constantly, no one ability in the deck is a kill shot, the Sanctuaries don't start really humming until you get at least 3 different colors in play, just tons of problems. Remember for a moment that to get the most out of the Battlemages and the 'Volvers you're looking at constantly casting things that cost 7 mana or so. It took adding Prismatic Omen to mine to even start getting somewhere, and even then the amount of mana required to be "on standby" for the different Masters to use their abilities when an opportune moment strikes slows you down enormously. Hopefully you can have better luck, just trying to point out some of the problems I ran into with a similar theme.

Heartbeat of spring might help out significantly in this decklist.

yeah it can be a difficult concept.....not one that i picked up on right away.....i always wnted to build it beacause i was always a huge fan of the invasion block....so when i finally got to play with it i was wicked excited....its surprisingly more effective than i thot....a lil slow at first...but if you can hold them off for just a few turns...by turn 4 or so then your pretty well set...by then because of all the lands that produce multiple colors you have atleast one of every color in most cases and you almost always have one mana bird maybe 2 so you can usually play a master or 2 to hold off smaller creatures...and a turn or two after that start throwing down volvers...and the prismatic omens are coming soon i dont have any at the moment so i have to get some...im going to take out the insidious dreams and a couple familiars to add 2 prismatic omens and the other 2 masters that i am missing.....and at some point this deck will get turned into a highlander deck for the next highlander tourny....thats really the basis for it.....everyting will get knocked down to one and i wana add the apprentices to it...along with each liege from the eventide and shadowmoor sets....i have alot of fun ideas for that highlander deck and any input from you guys is much appreciated....as well as ideas an decks form the invasion block im more or less in love with it
