So after some help from the awesome commenters StrangeLove and Caerwyn I've finally gotten a rough outline of the deck!

This is a sorta-jank control deck based on Sliver Overlord and Zirda. Think 5 color Merieke, but with permanent control of creatures. Basic gameplay loop is to ramp quick into Overlord and Zirda, bank mana with lots of rocks and steal opponent's board states. Fun combos include using Assault Suit to "gift" stolen creatures, Isochron Scepter as well as other Mimic Vat imprint type effects to repeat janky stuff, Ashnod's Altar and Altar of Dementia to steal big creatures and sacrifice them to mill people out, and Mindslaver + Prototype Portal to control enemy turns if you're feeling mean (this is ok in my meta, your mileage may vary)! Maskwood Nexus makes all creatures tutorable with Overlord's ability which really helps!

Zirda makes cards like Bonder's Ornament and Staff of Domination a lot better seeing as the costs of activating their respective abilities becomes either manageable or outright broken. Zirda is also infinite with Basalt Monolith which is fun for taking everyone's stuff.

Still looking for help on a solid land/mana base for the deck! I am happy with the amount of rainbow rocks/rainbow dorks, just not sure about the land distribution/making it on a budget. We don't allow for proxies unless you own the card sadly and I'm playing against folks who've been playing since the 90's and have crazy stuff haha.

Land Update 1: Help Requested! — Jan. 9, 2022

Edit

Updated the land base finally, so this is so far the rough outline of the deck before playtesting. I have made this current mana base with kind of an equal color distribution that skews slightly green for ramp spells etc, but I am not sure if that's going to work well for this kind of deck and still could use some help refining it. The maybeboard is the Lower Budget manabase, it's highly budget and focuses on using snow duals as cheap fetch targets as I've already spent too much on the other cards, haha. However, I feel like I am going to need to maybe cut some of the duals that tap for red and double up on lands that tap for U/G, etc. Not sure as this is my first 5 color mana base I've built. It does need to get Sliver Overlord and Zirda out fast (hence the heavy rainbow ramp etc) but otherwise everything Overlord does is for colorless so I'm not too worried once they're out and protected.

Thanks for any help!
