Deck discussion for 5 Color... Standard

I give you an official Three B's award dude (Big Brass Ballz). The thing that makes me scratch my head is, it works somehow...I've been bamboozled!

i looked at this, played some sample hands, and surprisingly, only 1 out of 9 hands were even decent enough for me to play, i was expecting it much more playable by surewhynot's comment. One thing i notcied was way too much white mana base. Always drew into white mana, and never any red, primeval took about 8 turns to get out due to things entering tapped so often, delvers were very good, snapcasters werent at all, but i personally dont like the card in standdard, its def a legacy card. Playing the 5 colors, i didn't feel nearly any red, just kessig's ability, which was very rare for me to be able to use effectively, if you have snapcaster in, cut out the black, theres literaly nothing for it other than a very few flashback abilities which is much cheaper with snapcaster, which you can always vaporsnag back to your handid rather have a vanillla island than a black blue land that has a chance to enter tapped.

I definatly liked it, but didnt think it had enough consistency on anything other than white mana gen, think about running one or two burning vengeances if youre running snapcasters?

I've learned to never rely on the sample hand...it doesn't mimic a shuffled deck very well at all =/

trust me, the sample hands are... for lack of a better word; shit.

this deck is essentially u/w/g, with 2 red sources for kessig and 1 sole black source for forbidden alchemy flashback. the white is there in the abundance that is to provide double white whenever I need to doj (actually very important in standard right now.)

you say you don't get a t8 titan, which is exactly what the deck wants to do anyways. if it were a ramp deck, that'd be a huge problem, but with this deck, I shouldn't need a titan til t8 after i've gained a bit of board control.
snap caster is amazing, trust me on this one.
red is actually fairly irrelevant, simply for kessig to give a control deck an easier out.

this deck is clearly still a work in progress, but i'm glad both you and surewhynot liked it! I think me and my brew-buddy may just stick to RUG, but this is definitely a contender. I like it. (:
