I hope that this might be accepted as an AI Quest deck. This is most likely a medium to a strong deck. It may require adjustment or a tone down for the quest mode.

This deck started as an experiment to see if I could create a 5 color deck which would use the dual lands and the mox. No birds or elves, etc.

This deck combines Phyrexian Arena to speed up the drawing of cards with Lifelink creatures to regain the life that is lost due to the Phyrexian Arena. This deck can also start out a little slowly as it waits for the appropiate mana colors to come into play.


60 Total Cards

21 Creatures
-------------
1x Brion Stoutarm
2x El-Hajjaj
2x Essence Sliver
2x Exalted Angel
2x Horned Cheetah
2x Kjeldoran Gargoyle
2x Knight of Meadowgrain
2x Rhox War Monk
2x Warrior Angel
2x Windwright Mage
2x Zebra Unicorn

21 Spells
----------
2x Darksteel Ingot
2x Fervor
1x Mox Emerald
1x Mox Jet
1x Mox Pearl
1x Mox Ruby
1x Mox Sapphire
3x Oblivion Ring
3x Oubliette
3x Phyrexian Arena
2x Serra's Blessing
1x Titanic Ultimatum

18 Land
--------
3x Badlands
3x Bayou
3x Plateau
3x Savannah
3x Tundra
3x Underground Sea

Not sure I get the point of Serra's Blessing. There are some other iffy cards but I will give this deck a run through and see how it plays with the AI piloting it.

Yeah, you caught me. :)

I expended so much mental energy trying to envision a five color deck that I found myself running out of steam when I got to the end. :wink:

In my play testing I came to the conclusion that there is just to many lifelinkers in the deck. With Serra's Blessing I saw a situation where the computer could gain life while attacking and then once again while blocking.

But what do I do with all of that life? If we had Channel and Fireball the situation would be different.

I think the experiment with a five color deck shows that we can have several 5 color decks in the quest.

The deck above is only half finished at this time. Any ideas?
