Hi ElendVenture,
I copied your deck and cut the gods and walkers that I felt were less synergistic to the deck, then did the same for the spirit avatars.
I butchered it and did another round of cuts destroying the flavor of the deck completely - But I still have a lot of fun with it.
please have a look and let me know your thoughts

Shathief I like it! Aside from the dual lands, I have considered everything you added. If only there was enough room to have all of those cycles as well as flavor. :( I will reconsider some of them as I make cuts from this deck though, and thanks for the mention!

I think cutting some of the demigods or less useful Planeswalkers (Looking at you Vraska) for the 5 Phyrexian Praetors would be awesome. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur Sheoldred, Whispering One Urabrask the Hidden Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
It would increase the mana curve by a bit though.

you're missing an "o"- oooooohhhhh..... I get it!

You're already going to be heavy on enchantments, you might as well add Sphere of Safety.

i would keep tamiyo, bolas, ral, elspeths, and sorrin and 86 the other planes walkers, and remove phenix and pharika since mill probably isn't helping you much and pharika is just super underwhelming. i really like the spirit avatars in there for devotion I'm going to have to get them for my 5 color god deck. but thats 8 things to slot in

if you're looking for some more stabilization early game maybe try Descendants' Path? personally i would cut maybe Pharika, God of Affliction as it has less synergy with your deck than is helpful.

I feel like Merciless Eviction would cause some problems with your deck. We had a guy in our playgroup try the same concept. EVERYONE started running Merciless Eviction if they had the colors. For flavor yeah I like this deck. For actual play I feel it's too much flavor not enough substance. But I'll upvote since this deck looks like Sheldon menery's wet dream fuel.

Maybe consider Counterspell? I feel like Merciless Eviction might ruin your day. XD

Wow. Just Wow. This is a truly amazing deck. If I had 650 dollars to spend on a Commander Deck then this is what it would be. This has given me so many ideas of Quinti-colored decks. Thank you very much.

No idea what to take other than taking from the flavor and removing Phenax or maybe Pharika but Conflux, Maelstrom Archangel, and especially Captain Sisay look great for this deck.

This looks fantastic. I had an idea to build a deck like this, and this looks just way fun to play. Academy Rector could be pretty sweet in here. Also, if you wanted to just veer even further into silliness, Maze's End and the guildgates...just sayin'. As far as something else that might actually be good, Genesis Wave seems pretty effective in this deck. In any case, +1. Looking forward to see how this deck rolls.

I think you might have a typo in your most recent update description... :-)

Have you lived the dream of getting out all 15 gods at once yet?

ElendVenture says... #18
asasinater13 Yes, I was facing a mill deck and just so happened to have Replenish in my hand. Everyone scooped after they hit the field.
KaladinStormblessed Thank you! Sanderson is my favorite author.
SimicPower Thanks, I have corrected it now.
PlayerThree Hmm, I will certainly consider Dream Halls. If I end up restructuring this as a full blown 5-color enchantment deck, it will be going in for sure.
casey I've considered rector before, but she's a little outside my price range at the moment unless someone wants to trade her to me. As for the maze, I tried to run it in the first version of this deck. In the end I switched to shocklands because it was too slow. Plus I can look for more shocklands with Karametra out. On G-Wave, I will certainly give it a try if I can get a hold of a copy.
Edskelton Can't cut the gods, even if they seem useless. There are a lot of things I will cut, but the gods and their temples will not be cut. As for the Captain, I've been looking for a copy of her to trade for, but nobody I know has her.

maybe all ten tri-color lands wouldnt be a bad idea as well as Transguild Promenade, Rampant Growth, Cultivate, and Seek the Horizon are probably advisable plays also, and maybe the double mana lands from the OG ravnica

The original Ravnica bouncelands are really nice. Plus, with Amulet of Vigor, they don't stay tapped
May 10, 2015 8:46 p.m.
Dream Halls is a very risky card because it applies to everyone at the table! the last thing you want to do is give a mono blue deck the chance to ditch a useless card to drop an Omniscience or other game ending cards.

Karns_Pyromancer Sadly, the titans are outside of my price range at the moment. :( As for the bouncelands, they're really only good in this deck if I just so happen to have that one card out of 99 on the field within the first couple of turns.
Son-of-Mace Those would be great cards if I ran basics. I would consider a promenade though.
CharlesMandore None. I have yet to run into the massive non-basic hate that so many people have warned about.
Shathief Noted. Probably best I don't run it.

I would also recommend Yisan, the Wanderer Bard as a possible way to cheat in your creatures, it is a little more mana intensive, but once you hit 4-6 counters it becomes a great way to cheat in most everything in your deck.
