Just a big old five color deck that's fun to play and budget to boot! Tangles well with precons but punches up, too!

Niv-Mizzet, Supreme is supremely underrated. His ability to give the two-color cards in your graveyard Jumpstart allows us to pull off a powerful one-two punch, or it lets us ditch big X spells that would be better cast later down the line. And don't underestimate the power of hexproof from monocolored! All those clutch Swords to Plowshares or Beast Withins couldn't stop us if they tried.

Getting WUBRG isn't hard to achieve on a budget, even with a bunch of basic lands. The New Cappena-specific Terramorphic Expanses do a lot of heavy lifting to fix our colors, and we are in no rush before turn 5. They get even better when you realize that Worm Harvest is in the deck and can be cast (and copied!) many times over.

There are plenty of ways to gain card advantage while filling our graveyard. These spells come in every flavor, from Grisly Salvage to Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator to Steam Augury, and the many looting effects keep us afloat when Rielle, the Everwise or Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer are on the field. Faith of the Devoted combined with Fevered Visions and Descent into Avernus will innocuously lower life totals, which will be very important later.

Ramping is essential for this deck... the more at once, the better. Artifacts like Prismatic Geoscope or Timeless Lotus and creatures like Faeburrow Elder or Jegantha, the Wellspring each slingshot our mana situation out of the early game and into the midgame.

We are now ready to start setting up the finisher. A quick shout out to Bring to Light for being a fantastic, versatile placeholder for most any of our big set up pieces. We're looking for a spell copy effect like Sevinne, the Chronoclasm or Najal, the Storm Runner, but Galvanic Iteration and Teach by Example both work, too. We're looking to copy Death Grasp and Debt to the Deathless, both of which can be cast from our hands in the midgame to sustain us until we Jumpstart and copy them later. Aurelia's Fury fills this slot as well, but other good spells to copy include Blot Out the Sky, Sphinx's Revelation, and Worm Harvest.

Gaze of Granite is the only real boardwipe in the deck, and it probably should only be cast X=4 to preserve our most important permanents. There's plenty of powerful removal like Reinterpret, Sylvan Reclamation, and Windgrace's Judgment that can be cast a second time with our commander. How do we deal with creatures? You'll notice a very minor dragon tribal element thanks to Firkraag, Cunning Instigator. Between Niv-Mizzet, Supreme, Niv-Mizzet Reborn, and Hidetsugu and Kairi (plus Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant), we can whittle away opponents' life totals, draw plenty of cards, and goad their creatures while we're at it.

This deck will suffer against timely counterspells and graveyard hate, but even without access to our graveyard, we can still pack a punch. Stay under the radar as long as you can, but unfortunately much of our strategy will be visible based on what's in our graveyard and what we have in play. That's okay! We're here to have fun. Always open to suggestions!
