Hello everyone, I'm new to posting on this forum.. So if this isn't the correct location to post a deck that I'm looking for insight on please feel free to move it to the correct location.

Also it seems like everyone makes a small into to there deck, so I guess I'll make one too.. I built this Survival deck keeping in mind that Survival of the Fittest allowed an extremely wide playing field and allowed you to shuffle through your library and find anything that you made need at that current time or an answer to a situation. So here is my version of 5 Color Survival of the Fittest..

Creatures:
3x Birds of Paradise
3x Wall of Blossoms
2x Eternal Witness
1x Akroma, Angel of Wrath
1x Simic Sky Swallower
1x Reya Dawnbringer
1x Flametongue Kavu
1x Harmonic Sliver
1x Shriekmaw
1x Spike Weaver
1x Palinchron
1x Radiant's Dragoons
1x Squee Goblin Nabob
1x Genesis
1x Riftsweeper
1x Solemn Simulacrum
1x Kiki-Jiki Mirror Breaker
1x Pestermite
1x Karmic Guide

Enchantments:
4x Survival of the Fittest
2x Recurring Nightmare
2x Animate Dead
1x Moat

Instants
3x Enlightened Tutor
4x Swords to Plowshares

Lands/Mana Base:
3x Tiaga
2x Plateau
2x Savannah
2x Bayou
3x Wooded Foothills
3x Windswept Heath
4x Forests
1x Swamp

I unfortunately don't have time to type out all of the card reasoning right now, or what it has done in local Legacy tournaments but I will later. Any input would be great.

Thanks, Justin

Quick question: are you using Palinchrome + Recurring Nightmare for infinite mana? If so, what are you pumping it into? If nothing, I would say put in something else to make it possible. Oh yeah, one more thing, another infinite combo with Kiki (and easier to pull off) is Lightning Crafter. Plus, the Lightning Crafter combo is an instant kill in nearly any situation.

Actually no..

I'm using Kiki-Jiki, and Pestermite for my infinite combo:

- Kiki Jiki comes into play using Karmic Guide.
- When Kiki-Jiki comes into play, use it to make a token of Karmic Guide putting Pestermite into play.
- Create Infinite 2/1 Flying Pestermite tokens with haste using Kiki-Jiki and Pestermite.
- Attack for win.

The Palinchron, and Nightmare are there as a second combo. Create infinite Mana with Spike Weaver and Birds of Paradise in play, move Spike Weaver's tokens over to Birds of Paradise and make Birds of Paradise an Infinite/Infinite Flying Creature.

My mistake about Jiki. I thought Sky Swallower was Sky Hussar the first time I read it.

This list seems incredibly SotF dependant. Maybe you might want to par the bullets/ tutor targets down some so you can have creatures that are good without an active SotF? I presume -1 Akroma, -1 Reya, -1 FtK, and -1 Radiant's Dragoons for 4x Tarmogoyf is a start. Even though you have ~7 Survivals, you get raped by a Pithing Needle. A single Pithing Needle. That sucks.
