Well I personally dont play all colors so i can avoid the hassle of not getting the right mana at the right time. If you are thinking of starting a rainbow color deck i think that if you are a beginner you should reconsider but, if you aren't then i think that is a plausible idea. I will however, say this. rainbow decks are hard to use so u should b sure u r ready for them.

the www.5-color.com way?

I use to, when I lived in Atlanta. Noone around here plays it anymore, though, and I don't have much free time, either...

If I run 5 color, it usually has a hunting grounds, and the only blue is Iridescent Angel... but she's really white - Blue doesn't have angels...;) :p

A 5-color Global Ruin deck can be really good in multiplayer, (And pretty solid in two-player, for that matter). I've had it defacto-banned in my playgroup, though I think it's due for a comeback...

I was thinking of the old elves with toys deck... ya know, elves build any color mana you want, then ya throw in another color for the win.

The only one I know who might be playing 5-Color is Dune Echo but I haven't seen him post lately. You might want to send him a PM. I was interested but my group wasn't so down the tubes that idea went :(

5-color is not hard to play with Hunting grounds and sneak attack...

i have a five colored sliver deck. i origianally made it with all the old slivers in the deck and the deck was 96 cards thick. i currently have at least one copy of ever single sliver in my deck cept hte overlord. this is a deck for fun and is fun not meant to be played in tournament in any shape or form. i need over lords if any one is welling to sell or trade me one. but basically i play with only basic lands about 15 green, 4 of each other color, 4 lotus petals, 4 rampant growths, harrows, explosive vegitations, and sprouting vines. it works pretty well and usually im good on mana and those land getting spells thin out my deck enough to the point where i usually am only drawing my creatures. on a good day i bust out the queen around turn three. on a bad day my friend reams my deck with engineered plagues before i can get my muscle or plated slivers....

yeah the hunter is alright...but for sheer annoyance ward sliver in the new brood and crystaline sliver in the old one are number 2 and number 1 respectively.

ooh thats a nice card. thanx train.. but i think ill pass only land gettitng cards and slivvers in my deck i would play with out the land searching cards but i can't survive if i don't. only slivers in this deck im planning on packing 4 sliver over lords...any body want to trade for them or sell them to me??? please\!!!

13NoVa, post your deck and I'll be happy to give you any constructive criticism I can. There's an old thread that CHA1N5 wrote a while back (even got turned into an article) about a few basic cards that work really well in just about any 5-Color deck and are accessible to anyone.
