Welcome to the fountain of tears! The idea is to shift the land type of every land in play to something that can't be used by people using Quicksilver Fountain . The color identity of the deck may shift based on what ultimately makes the cut. I will list my initial thoughts and explain what I like about each of them and what may eventually get the axe, listed in order of importance. This list is what I have discovered of the subject thus far and it not all-inclusive. I would greatly appreciate everyone's input on these choices!

Currently the deck is in the theory stage, hence the staggering-low deck list count. Please take time to read everything in the following spoilers and you will get an idea of how the deck will be going.

BLUE Show

Blue may be the main color that is required. Aside from the namesake card there's probably the most cards in blue that change lands to its way of life. These include, but isn't limited to, Aquitect's Will , Lingering Mirage , Sea's Claim , and Spreading Seas . Various cards can also change things to any type or only until end of turn, to include Convincing Mirage and Shimmering Mirage respectively. The former is preferred since it's permanent.

Blue also has the ability to change the land type on a card's text box. These include Crystal Spray , Magical Hack , Mind Bend , Spectral Shift , Trait Doctoring , and Whim of Volrath . While some of these only last until the end of the turn, they both have a number of uses. First, all but one of these can go onto Isochron Scepter which can then be used multiple times each round, if untapped. Second, the temporary ones can be used to change the Fountain so that it gives specific people specific land types. On top of that, the permanent effects can simply 'color shift' the Fountain to give everyone the same type that they can't use. Watch out for stray Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 's though!

I'm also interested in the idea of putting a Clever Impersonator on a Soul Foundry or the like and making it copies of either Fountain or one of the aforementioned land-changing enchantments, or some cards that will be mentioned later.

If every land eventually becomes the same type then we'll need a way to stop our Fountain from removing flood counters. The easiest and safest way would be to bounce our fountain, and blue is the best at doing this.

Another way we can ensure the Fountain continues to flow is with various effects that remove counters, such as Chisei, Heart of Oceans or Power Conduit . The latter can work with a large number of cards for the +1/+1 / charge counters depending on the direction the deck goes.

RED Show

Red has some neat tricks, of which I'm sure at this point I've only scratched the surface of discovering. Red has two different 'destroy all

GREEN Show

Green also has some very interesting things that we can do. Since we want to utilize Isochron Scepter we can use Seedborn Muse to get significantly more uses out of the Scepter. If we're running green Muse then we may as well use more things that have a cost, and/or do something like keep all lands tapped or tap all lands regularly. That way we're the only ones doing much of anything. Carpet of Flowers is also an incredible card here even without being clever with how we go about land-type shifting. Spreading Algae is also a card that I want to try, especially if we have our own Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth . And of course Choke is a fantastic choice here almost regardless. Green also has a way to purge the board of Islands with Tsunami .

Something that we'll want to do is getting use of our own lands despite the tears flowing. Prismatic Omen is somewhat if a double-edged sword here. We get perfect color fixing but then we're getting the Fountain to critical mass sooner, which in the end shouldn't be a problem. Along these lines, Chromatic Lantern does the same thing for us.

WHITE Show

The first thing I think of here is using Kormus Bell with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite . With the number of enchantments we're playing we could also include things that care about our count of them such as Sphere of Safety and Sigil of the Empty Throne , though depending on how games play out we may just want to make sure things are slowed down and going according to plan. This is a potential route though.

BLACK Show

Still looking into this. The only thing so far is Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , though that can be included in any other color combination.

COLORLESS Show

Power Conduit was mentioned here which could be the main contender in colorless to go with the Fountain. Mana Web is also something can used once everything is land-type shifted or alongside Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to make everyone play at sorcery speed, pending any of their own untap shenanigans.
