I dun know about that 5 color one. I'm probably closer to Azorious but realize that Azorious doesn't have enough answers for everything so you go into 5 color Niv to always have an answer to every board state. After you answer the board state, you use time twister effects to make sure everyone has a full grip again and to get all your answers back. So strap in because I'm here to make sure games go absolutely nowhere fast.

As a combo Ghave enthusiast, I can concur that Abzan loves killing/sacrificing and bringing it back for infinite combos

[@Darlnezz]

To be honest, As a mono White player, it is not hard to have mana or have a full grip of cards. The issue lies in digging for more cards and so far no design given by new cards have fixed this issue since they keep adding cards that are opponent dependant. What White really needs is a way to just see the board state, and look at their hand. Realize they don't have what they need. Then say "I draw more cards". Right now they do not have that. They have: I pass the turn so that I can maybe draw cards from your actions and maybe not be able to use them without a vedalken orrery. --- THIS is EXCLUDING going certain Commanders such as Sram. Those decks got a particular theme and that let them draw cards. But normal white decks do not have that.

And people said i could not make a strong Maze's End deck.......they probably should have said that i should not j-just like Mono white Door to Nothingness deck or my Mono white budget Human Angel Stax that i made in protest when someone told me that no one could make a good mono white deck as they don't exist yeah safe to say that person don't play with me anymore shhhh no one needs to know about the mono green Maze's End till i get it to a consistent turn 4 win deck. Honestly though Progenitus is my go to 5 color commander when making a 5 color deck as he is just a 10/10 protection from everything generic creature and i don't have money for Morphon the Sliv-er i mean boundless. Yes i even made a Graveborn EDH with Progenitus as the commander as i want the strong creatures from all colors in my grave all original praetors on my field by turn 3, See what i mean by generic commander? you don't need to summon him just enjoy a good singleton deck also ignore the fact that i can just enchant my lands and actually Summon Progenitus in the mono green Maze's End that's the fun part oh and let's no forget that they would not know if i have the obscure green counter spells or not such as Avoid Fate as an example ah yes time spiral a mistake Guttural response is also a good one those blue players won't see what's coming.
