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

Deck Description

heavy update of my 300 card deck build

I sacrificed a lot of early game pressure for mid game power. The mana curve suffers because of this unfortunatly. I'm going to try improve the early game defense and mana acceleration as I go. As it is multiplayer I'm hoping to get away with a slightly slower deck. Decks that kill in 4 to 5 turns will be problematic but it's not likely that I'll see many such decks.

Yeah, burn and infect decks are going to give you a lot of early grief. Also some of the quicker combos.

Burn is still ok because it can be defeated with life gain and if I would face a lot of burn decks I would simply put in more lifegain. Poison is near impossible to fight, there is just very little that protects you aside from creature removal and counterspells and there is no way to get rid of poison counters (aside from Leeches which sucks). Combo decks get ganged up on in multiplayer games so I don't worry about them to much. Still I think the deck as it is now needs to be able to defend itself better in the early game. I'm still thinking about how to accomplish that. Maybe fit in 4 wrath of God + 4 Damnation.

thanks for the response

The deck is awesome! It features too many amazing card to be limited to a mere sixty, and yet still maintains internal synergy and a focused gameplan.

Does this deck really need to address Infect decks? They tend to be terrible in multiplayer -- an Infect deck usually takes out one opponent quickly, and then runs out of gas when it has to come up with landing the remaining 30-40 poison counters it takes to win the entire game. When the Infect players start to realize they have no chance at winning they"ll start to try different decks, and the problem will go away.

I don't see a problem with running some more mass removal, like you mentioned, though. Wrath and Damnation are staples, and work well against most decks you'll encounter. You might try out Propaganda and Ghostly Prison as well; it depends on what you play against. But before anything else in this vein, I'd max out the Pernicious Deed count.

The card I would strongly consider for this deck is Gifts Ungiven. I just assumed it was in the deck before looking at the list more closely (I was also surprised not to see Survival of the Fittest). You have Reveillark and Karmic Guide -- it would be so easy to just add Body Double for shenanigans.

Also, Green Zun's Zenith seems so limited in a five-color deck. You could swap that out easily for Chord of Calling, which is simply a superior card. You get to reshuffle the Zenith, but in a 300-card deck, is there any reliability in actually seeing it again? I'd take the Chord, given that it's instant, can be Convoked, gets any color of creature, and patiently waits for your Eternal Witnesses to reuse it.

Also, no fourth Kokusho? He's the legend that works better in multiples!

My buddies and I have been playing 5-color, 300 card decks, min 25 of every color for the last 4 years....so I've seen alot of 300 card decks. I like what I see here, my only question would be, is there enough quick mana/draw advantage? The environment I play in has power 9 floating around....the prime titan is beatings in this format, there are so many great lands you can stack the deck with, Vesuva is a solid one....Krosan verge might be a good add given the mana curve.....Mirari's Wake is a staple in this format for us...Overwhelming Forces is beatings if your deck is accelerating land drops and/or bolstering your mana production......if that Core Auger was bribed (Bribary) that would be brutal....Darksteel Ingot is another staple....what are using for graveyard removal?
