I know that you think 5 color control is impossible in standard. It probably is. This probably sucks. But I really want to give it a try (and I really want it to work). Suggestions are would be awesome.

HELP ME FIND ROOM FOR Boros Reckoner!!!!!!!!

The cast

Lands

As you can probably see on the color wheel to the right, I hit the colors as perfectly as I could. Only 24 lands because of 3 caryatids and 4 lanterns.

Sorceries

Dreadbore - Awesome kill spell, less awesome speed and mana cost. Still a must for efficiency.

Mizzium Mortars. HUGE tempo play, which is what control decks often lack. This is what I have found to be the beast way to deal with those pesky Blood Baron of Vizkopas.

Enchantments

Detention Sphere- Another huge tempo play, this one with a do-able mana cost early.

Artifacts

Chromatic Lantern- Duh. Key card in the deck. The only feasible way to get this stupid, stubborn mana right. Also, it makes mana for Sphinx's Revelation and such.

Instants

Abrupt Decay- Great early kill spell, bad mana cost. Helps a lot against Detention Sphere.

Dissolve - Great counterspell, worse mana cost.

Doom Blade- Best kill spell here, occasionally inefficient.

Hero's Downfall- Another awesome kill spell, another unfortunate mana cost.

Lightning Strike- Early removal, finishes what Master of Cruelties starts.

Magma Jet- See Lightning Strike

Sphinx's Revelation- A must have in any control deck with the colors.

Creatures

AEtherling- Great for control, is also an alternate win con

Fleecemane Lion- The surprise choice. It has a terrible mana cost, but it is huge against aggro and, if monstrous, is the best card on the board. Can become an alternate wincon with thassa.

Master of the Cruelties- Main wincon. Give it unblockable with thassa and finish with a burn spell. Keep the board clear and it is awesome.

Sylvan Caryatid- Huge in tempo, great mana fixing.

Thassa, God of the Sea- Gives Master of Cruelties or Vraska's assassins unblockable, and scrys every turn. Not really used as a creature. Can become an alternate wincon with something like Fleecemane Lion

Planeswalkers

Elspeth, Sun's Champion- Duh in any control deck. Alternate wincon

Vraska the Unseen- Not only has great removal, but her tokens are awesome, especially with thassa. (See my deck, Jund Auto-Win ). Alternate Wincon

The sideboard

Blind Obedience- Awesome for extort, and it bitch slaps aggro in the face.

Counterflux - Awesome counterspell that bitch slaps control in the face.

Dark Betrayal- Super awesome kill spell that bitch slaps MBD in the face.

Glare of Heresy - Super awesome removal with a nice mana cost that bitch slaps anything white in the face.

Slaughter Games - Laughters games. Bitch slaps anything and everything in the face.
