5 Color Cornucopia

Standard*

Poppalardo


5 color Fun - I built this deck around the Ancient Cornucopia. That isn't quite a build around card per se, but it seemed cool/fun, so naturally I went 5 color (base colors are Abzan).

The main weakness of this deck is the mana base, of course. If you want to spend some time tweaking it, go ahead. I threw the mana base together in 5 minutes, and I still have a decent win rate.

This deck is not built to fight control decks. You will most likely lose. Most losses against aggro will be because of mana issues.But this deck has a surprising amount of lifegain, with Ancient Cornucopia, The Celestus, Lightning Helix, Fleetfoot Dancer, Quintorius Kand, Archangel of Wrath, Kaya, Intangible Slayer

Turn 3 Cornucopia into Turn 5 Invasion of Alara   gain 5 life, cast a card, draw a card - is the usual combo.

Kogla and Yidaro is also nice to haste in as it kills the Invasion in one hit, and when you flip the invasion it is pretty much GG - gain 5 (if you have a cornucopia), draw, put an artifact from hand onto field, destroy target permanent (anything, even lands), put 3 counters on your creatures in any way you choose, and copy a permanent you control. INSANE value. and of course, kogla functions as a 4 mana destroy artifact/enchantment and draw a card. Good flexibility

Invasion of Tolvada   is really nice in getting back any one of your major threats, which Fleetfoot Dancer and Aurelia, the Law Above both have haste and can attack the tolvada to 1 or the alara to 3 - which then flips to a Lightning Helix

your main defense against aggro is: 4 copies of Lightning Helix 1 copy each of Soul Partition, Not on My Watch, Push / Pull which pull also functions as a late game win con if needed. 3 copies of Sunfall

and at the top, we have a few bombs. namely one of my favorite cards The Kami War   and 1 copy of bonny paul, clearcuter - which is a great card, but honestly probably could be cut because of the double Blue mana cost sometimes screwing you. maybe just running a 3rd cornucopia is better, but I just wanted to play with the new card.
