Jace, the Mind Sculptor for Jace Beleren?

I can only agree...the best Grixis list I've found right now... However, what about adding Earthquake for Volcanic Fallout?
OK, Your deck doesn't look bad, but i think it needs a few peeks... Riptide Replicator will make your game way to slow for an ally deck. Cut him out. Cut out Xenograft aswell. You don't have enough non-allies in the deck for it to be useful. Instead add 4 Coat of Arms. Cut out all non-ally creatures. Birds are good, but with the Harabaz Druids you won't need them. Caller of the Hunt is good aswell, but not good enough. Replace the Birds with 4 Join the Ranks and replace the Caller of the Hunt with 2 additional Sea Gate Loremasters and an additional Talus Paladin. Turntimber Ranger doesn't make up for it's cost, because it makes wolves instead of allies. Cut him out for two additional Umara Raptors. I'm not gonna comment on Lands, they're your choice.
I have never played this deck, so i don't know how it works, but if you're playing allies you're normally going for aggro more than control...however, I'll just try helping you in your playstyle. I play allies myself, but i play them four colors, because of Harabaz Druid, which realy speeds up my game. So to the advice: Creatures: You don't have any 1 drops...ever thought of running Hada Freeblade? I'd also cut out 1 or 2 of the Pyromancers Artifacts: Coat of Arms is a standard in all my tribal decks Spells: Deprive isn't as good as the other two counters...replace it with an additional 2 join the ranks. Cancel is gonna be hard to play, cause you don't have that many blue mana sources. Planeswalkers: Replace ajani with a second venser. But whatever you do, have fun...that's what matters.
Doesn't look bad...the only thing i would change, is to try and keep your thallids cheep... Try using Thallid or Vitaspore Thallid instead of the more expensive ones...
Hi I personally think there's nothing wrong with a five colored deck...However you do not have a single 1 Mana card. I'd suggest 4 Hada Freeblade to get the speed up a little...I don't see the point in Bojuka Brigand, because other allies can do exactly the same, except they can block. If you're going for 5 colors i'd also add 3 Harabaz Druid, because you can choose what color mana he gives you. Another very useful card is Sea Gate Loremaster, cause he enables you to draw faster. So I'd suggest the following: Remove: -2x Akoum Battlesinger -2x Bojuka Brigand -1x Murasa Pyromancer -2x Agadeem Occultist -1x Joraga Bard -1x Bala Ged Thief Add: -4x Hada Freeblade -3x Harabaz Druid -2x Sea Gate Loremaster
