A "Five-Color" ({W}{U}{B}{R}{G}) Domain Zoo deck built following the release of Murders at Karlov Manor (2024).

Theme

This deck is built around a couple different concepts, but mostly it's meant to improve upon an existing Archetype.

Domain

The Domain Ability involves the number of basic lands you have at your disposal and for the record, that number is 5.

(Wastes is technically a Basic Land. Although recent in terms of the last 30 years of game development, it's a rather important distinction for our ability.)

The issue comes from the fact that Wastes technically has no type line of Basic Land. It simply exists as a Basic Land, but there's no definition to it. Whereas the core 5 each were given a name (and that's also the corresponding typing).

This deck initiates a concept of exploiting that very mechanic (Domain) by using cards already long known such as Tribal Flames and Territorial Kavu.

An Aggro shell (hence it's labeled as a Zoo Deck) built around making the most out of the creatures involved, the deck has some built in protection pieces that provide a little Resilience.

Leyline Binding is effectively cast for {1} on your turn 1 when on-the-draw, and otherwise meta staples such as Royal Treatment can help hold the line.

The deck intends to exploit newly printed cards from Murders at Karlov Manor (2024) named Leyline of the Guildpact and Case of the Shattered Pact.

Domain Zoo

Historically a deck known as 'Domain Zoo' has existed that uses cards like Nishoba Brawler and Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer.

Zoo decks as a whole tend to be Naya ({W}{R}{G}) colored or Temur ({U}{R}{G}) colored, but can include the full spectrum of the Magic Color Wheel.

Construction

The card that defined my construction was the printing of Leyline of the Guildpact, because of it's Turn Zero capability. Otherwise, the remainder of the cast is typical Zoo frenzy feasting.

• Case of the Shattered Pact is a pseudo Draco effect and does a lot of heavy lifting to ramp and buff so long as the Guildpact has stuck around.

• Territorial Kavu is like a Rainbow-Colored Kird Ape and we love that.

• Leyline Binding is proverbial cast for {1} and will buy us time for spot removal sake.

• Stubborn Denial and Royal Treatment both live here because we can't leave ourselves open to responses.

• Memnite is a free body to receive benefits from Case of the Shattered Pact if we're left with no other bodies.

• Tribal Flames is a powerful burn spell to end most one shot targets or deal a considerable amount of damage right to your opponent's face.

Discussion

Most of my updated tactics and evolution will be detailed in the Updates tab on the deck page. Anything further will probably be discourse in the comments among users.
