This deck seems pretty straightforward to me. It doesn't rely on creatures or direct damage, at least not directly. It feeds on the five Honden's, building on their cumulative effects and essentially dominating the field.

Potential combos (aside from the Hondens themselves) include....

Isochron Scepter+ any instant but hopefully Counterspell or Enlightened Tutor or Swords to Plowshares to further delay the opponent or pull a Honden out of the Deck every turn.

Sterling Grove + Academy Rector Enchantment pull. Land Tax+Peacekeeper Pull more mana when needed plus making it harder for the opponent to attack.

I know playing rainbow isn't always easy but this deck is worked pretty well with the help of the Birds of Paradise+Chromatic Lantern to help mana ramp in just the right way.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Not sure where to go with the sideboard.
