"It's not Slivers I promise!"

"Well, what is it then?"

"5 Color Walls."

"Hahaha, oh wait. You're serious?"

Yes, yes I am. 5 Color Walls is a deck focused on playing as many defenders as possible while building up to a few obscure win conditions. Being indestructible, Sliver Hivelord seemed like the best fit for a 5 color defender deck, and when paired with cards like Hivestone or Arcane Adaptation it can spread its indestructibility to the rest of the team. Loads of fun due to its weirdness and unpredictability.

HOW TO WIN

1: Generating tons of mana: With cards like Overgrown Battlement and Axebane Guardian you can generate tons of mana. With that mana, you can use Villainous Wealth to take tons of your opponent's stuff of the top of their deck and use those to win (Hopefully). This also lets us reliably cast any cards in our hand or activate the abilities of our creatures at end steps, such as Doorkeeper or Vent Sentinel

2: Attacking out of nowhere: There are tons of combat tricks to completely throw your opponents off guard. Dragonshift can turn your sedentary walls into high-flying dragons and beat face. Assault Formation and Doran, the Siege Tower make it so your walls deal damage with their toughness. Assault Formation can also get your defenders to attack, as well as Rolling Stones and Wakestone Gargoyle . Arcades, the Strategist also allows for the walls to attack while also drawing cards when they enter the battlefield, which is a nice new addition.

3: Completing the Maze: As you play the game, many guildgates will be played. Each guildgate will slowly get you closer to winning with Maze's End . Its easy to stop, due to land destruction, and once one is exiled it goes out of commission. Gatecreeper Vine searches for a gate on entry, so there is a bit of help. With the gates you can also use Crackling Perimeter to shoot your opponents with untapped guildgates. Circuitous Route and Gateway Plaza help to speed up the process.

Thanks for taking the time to check the deck out! With Arcades, the Strategist being printed in Core19, I thought it would be the right time to rebuild the wall deck, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know below. Thanks in advance and hope you enjoy the deck!
