MTG Salvation

Here is the finished product. Probably still needs some tweaks to reach maximum efficiency but given my playgroup's reaction to the deck I may never actually finish it.

Could just be luck but I could fishbowl a win out by turn 6 most games, and the games I don't I have amazing board control with Child as the new general.

The one thing you should never do is tutor for omniscience without another tutor in hand, or some major draw power backing it up, because you can end up dead in the water if you're not careful.

Someone also asked why Jiki-Resto is my only combo wincon: Occam's Razor.

It is vain to do with more what can be done with less.

Once omniscience is online and you have a tutor for Conflux or a tutor that can tutor for a tutor for Conflux, you just win. If someone stops the jiki-resto combo, Obliterate their board and beat their face with big dudes.

Your picture recurring insight is good in this deck. Time spiral windfall tolarian winds trade secrets minnds desire dream halls. Mystical teachings all blue I know but I like your shell maybe some mans reflection action Skyshroud claim life from Loam crucible of worlds. Gilded lotus

If you plan on winning on turn 2-3 then the damage from shocklands should be irrelevant. If you're concerned about non-basic hate in your meta adding shocklands isn't going to make the deck any more susceptible to them. You are already running 25+ non-basics I'm not sure how another 5-10 is gonna matter that much.

I'd run Pact of Negation. I'd also run Idyllic Tutor. You also probably need card draw like Necrologia. I'd run Regrowth .

If you want to go the card filter route then stuff like Careful Study, Izzet Charm and Faithless Looting should be considered. But if you're concerned about the lack of card advantage those cards provide you could run stuff like Careful Consideration or Thirst for Knowledge or Wheel of Fortune. Brainstorm is good if you have a full suite of crack-lands.

If you want straight card draw then Concentrate and Harmonize or Tidings are all good choices but they might be too slow in this deck.

So you want to just drop Kiki/Angel off Omniscience? I'd add at least Zealous Conscripts for redundancy as it gets around stuff like Linvala or Ghostly Prison. That said a one-card combo off Omniscience seems better, like Petals of Insight with a storm finisher in the deck.

Yea I think minds desire Combo is way to go here

I didn't include conscripts because I can't fetch kiki AND conscripts off of conflux, but restoration angel i can, I was also thinking Venser, Shaper Savant and Tendrils of Agony since with omniscience you can cast venser and bounce him infinitely and then tendrils the board.

That may be a moot point now though. I finished the deck and took it to my LGS, and after a few games no one wanted to play with me anymore, the deck was SCARY consistent, although I guess five color can do that. I will probably take the deck apart but if anyone wants I can post the full list before I do.

I would be really interested in a full list. Thanks in advance!

full list is up, although you can probably cut Maelstrom Nexus right away, I threw it in mostly for lolz. I might also cut Temporal Mastery since it doesn't provide nearly enough card advantage once omniscience is on the board, it's mostly a stall tactic.

Phyrexian Metamorph and Solemn Simulacrum were also pretty underwhelming although metamorph has far more applications if you can drop a FoF sphinx or tutor demon into play.

Peacekeeper is great for stalling but might be better as a more traditional control card like Austere Command or if you want to cut Obliterate go for Cataclysm as your backup wincon.

Isn't Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Surrak Dragonclaw, Restoration Angel, Kiki-Jiki Mirror Breaker, and Vindicate (this slot is flexible), a nearly unstoppable kill?
