This was originally a pet project that has very quickly found it's way to being a favorite among about 13 decks.

Unlike other lines of play that others may attempt with Golos, this deck seeks to use him as an additional resource, but not a necessary piece that the deck revolves around. The plan is to fetch Cascading Cataracts first to enable indestructible, colored mana production for his ability, and subsequent utility lands upon recast if necessary. Outside of bricking with lands with his ability, he's a solid late game value engine that can get 1-3 of my non-land cards off the top and into play.

There's plenty of ramp, control and removal here. Some of it might be expensive, but we're sticking with a colorless build, so we have to take what we can get.

The deck has been sorted by categories by default to give a better understanding of the role each card plays for the deck.

Despite being "Five-Color", it's really a colorless deck. There is a single "Blue" spell in the deck in Phyrexian Metamorph. Realistically, without Chromatic Lantern or Mox Opal out, there's zero chance I'll be paying the blue mana as part of it's casting cost. 3 mana and pay 2 life for a Sculpting Steel that can also copy creatures? Sign me up.

Still hoping they'll print a colorless means to search up an artifact that doesn't require additional resources... Sort of like a Scour from Existence, but for artifacts or colorless cards and putting them to hand. Kuldotha Forgemaster is a terrible rate and Beseech the Queen is the closest thing to a colorless tutor. Technically Fabricate, Whir of Invention and Enlightened Tutor could do it, but that would require switching around my mana base to accommodate them and the colorless nature of the deck has been it's strength and the driving principle behind it from day 1.

Mishra's Workshop to replace Temple of the False God, one day if/when I can afford it...

Gameplan: Win by dumping the deck, protecting my board, and using Eldrazi and/or the artifact "Rube Goldberg Machine"
