A five colour EDH deck with Kenrith, Returned King as commander. The deck aims to ramp and cheapen the cost of Kenrith's activated abilities so they can be used multiple times per turn (and on opponents' turns), then play impactful multicoloured creatures.

Protection for Kenrith and some of the more important creatures comes in the form of Lightning Greaves, Blossoming Defense, and Selfless Spirit. With Seedborne Muse, Selfless Spirit, and enough mana, Kenrith can protect himself every turn by bringing the spirit back with his {4}{B} ability.

If you don't have much protection for Kenrith you can also play a political game where you can offer to use his abilities to benefit opponents in exchange for them leaving you (and him) alone.

There is also an infinite combo with Kenrith, Training Grounds, Biomancer's Familiar and Smothering Tithe which forces your opponents to draw their decks:

• Biomancer's Familiar and Training Grounds reduce Kenrith's activation cost by {4}.
• Wait until opponents are all tapped out.
• Activate Kenrith's {3}{U} ability, paying {U}. Target one of the opponents and force them to draw. - They can't pay for Smothering Tithe so you get a treasure.
• Sacrifice the treasure for {U} and repeat the process until all opponents have empty libraries.

Wincons other than the infinite combo are:

• Revel in Riches and Supreme Verdict, with Smothering Tithe also helping the treasure count.
• get Felidar Sovereign into the graveyard, use Kenrith's lifegain ability to get above 40 life then use his reanimate ability before the start of your turn to bring back Sovereign.
• Phage the Untouchable with Kenrith's haste ability and Rogue's Passage.
• Various "steal your stuff" multicoloured creatures
• Getting Progenitus into play and giving it haste with Kenrith then simply attacking everyone with it
• Play a Golos, Tireless Pilgrim and play lands to build a zombie army. Because the deck needs a lot of different colours there are very few basic lands so this works very well. Mina and Denn, Wildborn and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove also let you play two lands a turn to get two zombies.

Kenrith works especially well with Seedborne Muse and one or both of the cost-reducers Biomancer's Familiar or Training Grounds as it enables you to activate several of his abilities on every turn, not just yours. With Alhammaret's Archive you can be gaining 40 life on each other player's turn, or drawing 4 cards for example.

The mana base is improved with things like Chromatic Lantern, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove and Prismatic Omen to help fix your colours. Prismatic Omen and the Dryad are also a nice combo with Emeria, The Sky Ruin as they make all your lands Plains so you can bring back a creature at the start of every turn.
