Control your way to victory, if you don't like having friends this deck is for you.

This deck is designed to have an answer at everything in a 4+ players games, get as much mana as you can and control the battlefield.

One infinite combo:

Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix with Umbral Mantle to draw the entire library and win with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries

You can add more but I have more fun controlling the game than actually winning.

Synergies:

Seedborn Muse or Wilderness Reclamation with Training Grounds or Biomancer's Familiar is extremely strong with Thrasios, Triton Hero. If you add Stasis on top it's disgusting.

Isochron Scepter with Counterspell, Cyclonic Rift, Heroic Intervention or any target removal is very powerful.

Upgrades:

Manabase is easy to upgrade with a dual land, Fetch, etc..

Replace Plasm Capture with Mana Drain

You can replace the following cards because they have less impact: Venser's Journal, Leyline of Anticipation and Fatespinner.

Some ideas in the maybeboard.
