Whenever you cast a multicolored instant or sorcery spell, you may pay {{1}}. If you do, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Cloven Casting Discussion

Looking good so far, glad you ended up posting it.
Cloven Casting is good and does a fantastic job, however, I worry about you becoming mana starved, try Swarm Intelligence instead for better results. Furthermore, if you're interested in keeping the curve low, try out Pyromancer Ascension.

Love the deck! Just wanted to say though- isn't Swarm Intelligence just straight up better then Cloven Casting?

I know Cloven Casting is flavorful for multicolored reasons but Swarm Intelligence does the same thing without needing it to be multi colored (you have quite a bit of mono-colored sorceries) AND without mana to copy. If only one of the two are to be included, the latter seems like the slam dunk choice imo.

From MtgSalvation:
Strictly Better Cloven Casting?
Worse Relic of Progenitus? It can target specific things, but doesnt draw that card, so.

KongMing, thanks for the feedback! I might've figured out Cascading Cataracts on my own -- but probably not. ;_;
Jace's Sanctum is good, but I prefer cards that I can use to full effect. If I take a turn to cast the Sanctum, then I can't mess with people. It's a personal choice, though - it's just a pet peeve of mine.
Along that line, Chandra, the Firebrand is the same: tapping out in this deck is BAD. Also, copying charms lacks the versatility, because you have to choose the same mode (706.10). Thus, I'm also skeptical of Cloven Casting, despite the utility. Bosium Strip might be better...we'll see. Playtesting will ensue.
I got to focused on modal effects. Wealth and Snappy and BTL are all in now. If I find a slot, Rings will also come in.
Thanks so much for taking the time to suggest. I love your work! (No.)

The reduction wouldn't apply to all of your Charms since so few of them have colorless mana as a cost, but Jace's Sanctum would provide you with really regular Scry. The pre-resolve Scry is especially helpful since so many of the Commands and Confluences allow you to draw cards.
Cascading Cataracts can be really helpful in a five-color deck like this. Indestructible Lands also provide some reliability in EDH, where there is still lots of land hate.
Rings of Brighthearth can copy activated abilities of your creatures, and provides a sort-of fixing for you as it allows you to spend colorless mana to activate a creature's colored activated ability a second time.
Also, if I don't recommend Snapcaster Mage, someone else will. So let's get that out of the way now.
Bosium Strip also provides some fun copying of instants/sorceries, and you can activate the ability before even casting the spell you intend to recast.
Villainous Wealth. Enough said.
Bring to Light would be an amazing tutor for this deck. You can search for all but 1 of your creatures, instants, and sorceries and play them for free if you spent 5 colors on Bring to Light. Or just use 3 colors and cast any of your Charms or Guildmages for free.
Cast Through Time meshes really well with modal spells, because it gives you a lot of flexibility when the card gets recast on your next turn. High CMC though, and 3U might be demanding for this deck. Cloven Casting is in the same category, more or less.
Chandra, the Firebrand helps some, but you can only copy the spells you cast on your turn. Not as much utility and you'd probably like in this deck.
I like this deck a lot. I could probably keep finding suggestions all day, so I'm going to stop before I go overboard and change the form of the deck too much. +1 from me, I also love Cromat as a Commander.

Thanks for the feedback!
I didn't really build around Child all that much, I just pick what I felt was the best 5c Commander for control. I also wouldn't say that my list is focused on Ultimatum, I just wanted to find a shell that I could play it in.
Bound/Determined is really interesting, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. The effect is strong and it offers a way to sacrifice Child, but I don't like that I NEED child for it to be good. I'll test it, but I'm not optimistic that It'll stay.
Cloven Casting is a card that I've completely forgot about. I don't think that my current build plays enough multicolored spells to be worth it, but I may actually overhaul the deck a bit to make it fit. It also makes me like Bound better.
