Casual deck. First inspiration was to use the Investigate mechanic - seems like it would be entertaining to play. Added cards that took advantage of the number of artifacts on my side of the battlefield (oddly, not as large of a selection as I had hoped). When adding lands, I found Maze's End, and then put in all 10 gate lands to help with the 5-color mana disbursement and give an alternate wincon. Progenitus is there for the colors, and as a distraction - I don't intend to play him.

My concern now (fresh after building), is the mana base. I'll have to cut 3-5 cards I'm thinking to get up to a proper mana base. There are a number of ramp cards (Expedition Map, Crop Rotation, Sylvan Scrying, etc.) to pull in _Any _land, not just basics. I've cut some Investigate/clue cards already, and don't want to cut any more, or I might lose sight of the original edict. I'm thinking that I'll have to cut out some "fatties".....

Need to goldfish it a couple times and see how it shuffles out - I built it to be pretty wide with a lot of utility. Your suggestions are welcome.....
