@Femme_Fatale Thanks for the excellent and well thought out suggestions. I have previously considered dropping Omniscience but restored it to guarantee the win condition of resolving Enter the Infinite . I'm not opposed to removing again especially if I am trading a guaranteed alternative win con for a likely alternative win con in order to gain tutoring for primary win cons. I'm reluctant to change out the Overgrown Battlement for Drift of Phantasms because it hurts my ability to ramp to Primeval Titan (I'm currently comfortable with pulling Kessig Wolf Run with just this)

Given this, I think I will run 2x Signal the Clans replacing 1x Loxodon Smiter and Omniscience and replace Mana Leak with Perplex .

Thanks again for the awesome suggestions!

Although Fist of Suns might be ok to drop too if Enter the Infinite is only to be cast with infinite mana..

I would actually remove Enter the Infinite for Staff of Domination . Both are used with an infinite mana combo to draw your deck, but Staff of Domination can be tutored with Perplex , and Enter the Infinite can't. You also have a higher chance of coming back from an unsuccessful Staff of Domination 's "draw till you get what you want" in comparison with Enter the Infinite 's, "Doomsday ".

I would keep Fist of Suns , it should be here in case they Meddling Mage your Freed from the Real or something like that. Basically, it's important to use for when you don't go infinite.

For lands, you could also try Forbidden Orchard and Gemstone Mine . They would help you get the right mana you need right away a lot.

If you are going to use Signal the Clans , leave the Overgrown Battlement alone. You'll need it for the proper tutor.

Indeed. Thanks again. Still deciding on whether or not I will run Signal the Clans but I really like the role of Perplex in the deck. Time to buy more cards. :)

@Dreno33 I dunno. The red lands also provide me with U mana which would hurt to remove considering how much U I am running at this point. Banefire also really gives me a win condition with infinite mana that I don't think I want to sacrifice. Plus part of the motif of this deck is it being five colors. :)
