$5.49
Five-color good stuff that uses Cromat's colored activations for evasion and protection while the deck ramps into planeswalkers and sweepers.

Cromat is a 5/5 for {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} with five two-color activated abilities. {W}{B} destroys a creature blocking or blocked by it, {U}{R} gives flying, {B}{G} regenerates, {R}{W} gives +1/+1, and {G}{U} puts Cromat on top of your library to dodge exile or a sweeper. It needs all five colors to even cast, so the deck leans heavily on fixing. In practice Cromat acts as a flexible, hard-to-kill beater while the rest of the deck brings the real power.
In the recorded games, builds varied a lot, but the most common one was a superfriends deck. Coalition Relic and Worn Powerstone ramped into several planeswalkers, and Door of Destinies helped rebuild after wipes. Mass removal, including a well-timed Fury, cleared aggressive creature boards. Results were mixed. Attackers pressuring the planeswalkers stopped the ultimates from landing, and a creature tribal deck rebuilt with Patriarch's Bidding after a wipe. The mana demands made the deck slow, and focused creature decks like Rin and Seri, Inseparable outpaced it.
