shandiris, thanks for commenting! I tend to play my Child of Alara as a panic button more than anything, especially if I have High Market at the ready, or a way to tutor for it. I don't have a lot of ways to clear the board of troublesome permanents, so child is a great one-time option that I often find myself using at some point or another during the course of a long game. As for Maze's End , it CAN be easily disrupted, which is why it I've included several other win conditions as a backup. However, you'd be surprised how easily it can be done, especially if I can get Crucible of Worlds or Life from the Loam online to fight past the disruption. Other times, it's possible to cast Scapeshift for Maze's End and all but one of my gates, and then activate maze for the win on the next turn, or the same turn with Amulet of Vigor in play. I have not tried any of the bringers, though they look quite interesting for almost any 5 color deck. However, I've been leaning toward a more creature-light, combo heavy build, since I often need to get Glacial Chasm into play to protect myself, and it does not allow me to attack with creatures.

neverdie, thanks for the advice! I feel like I have enough ways to protect myself without spot removal, for now. This list is VERY tight at this point and I'd have to cut some key cards to make those fit. Cutting cards is becoming VERY difficult to do here. However, I really, REALLY like the suggestion of Praetor's Grasp . I've used that in other decks and it can be pretty amazing, for sure. I'm going to have to seriously consider finding room for that one. Thanks!

Mina and Denn, Wildborn can help with Avenger of Zendikar tokens if you ever need to attack and take out an opponent the old fashion way. Plus the extra land drop in case you dont get the others.

+1, I love Adventure Time with Fin the human and Jake the dog ;)
I had a baby deck once, you should add Momentous Fall
Also, what about Explore , and spot removal Swords to Plowshares , Path to Exile , Merciless Eviction , and Sever the Bloodline
Praetor's Grasp can be a star in a 5 color deck.
And... Mutavault and the other "Man Lands."
