This five-color sorta-combo deck is one of my primary side projects at the moment. I've seen several of them running around lately, others trying to build them, and one even placed fifth in the Baltimore Open.

The main goal of the deck is to load the graveyard so you can delve for a god mode Soulflayer. This can be done by turn three (potentially) or later on. As a back up, the deck will support actually playing all of the creatures there to make the Soulflayer awesome beyond just playing normally.

Taigam's Scheming, Commune with the Gods, and Satyr Wayfinder are there to let you selectively fill your yard while looking for the killer combo. I'm less a fan of Satyr Wayfinder, but I'm not sure I like the idea of only have 8 grave-fillers.

Chromanticore is the goal to look for on every Soulflayer if possible, though you can piece together a decent-enough one without. The major supporters are Sylvan Caryatid or Sagu Mauler for hexproof, Skyspear Cavalry for double strike, and usually either Thassa, God of the Sea for indestructible or Gurmag Swiftwing for haste (also another source of flying and first strike if Chromanticore isn't available).

Cards like Monastery Siege and Sultai Charm also help you look for the Soulflayer while giving you the option of dumping some of the above creatures to the yard out of your hand if you don't want to (or cannot for lack of colors) play them.

Side deck is a little iffy, but it's coming along.
