The idea actually began when Chromanticore was revealed. I thought I could make a deck that could use it nicely and then I began to build a 5 Color Midrange/Goodstuff deck with a bunch of good creatures, removals and disruptions. But the deck proved itself rather too slow to keep up with most aggro and Midrange decks.
The more I tweaked the decklist and tested it, more Control-oriented it got and then i finally decided to cut most creatures in favor of powerful removal and disruption spells. Also, a control deck made the best use of what then I realized to be the only thing that makes multicolored decks viable: Scry lands.
The ability to scry when you drop a land is amazing on this deck: It keeps you from getting mana screwed, it lets you dig for the card you want and so it goes.
Basicly this deck is very Esper-oriented, adding both red and green for goodstuff cards such as Mistcutter Hydra and Rakdos's Return. I decided to cut counterspells in favor of draw spells and mana fixing. With that being said, I present you my take on 5 Color Control.
Suggestions are welcome.
