5 Color Conundrum by zbriggs09

Format: Commander

Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

Kenrith, the Returned King provides five colors and flexible activated abilities, but this is a turbo cEDH list built around two instant-speed combo channels rather than the commander. The primary plan is to use dorks, Moxen, and rituals to power out Thassa's Oracle with Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact. A parallel Underworld Breach line with Lion's Eye Diamond, Wheel of Fortune, and Brain Freeze offers a second win that is immune to most grave hate. Kenrith mainly smooths stalled games by drawing cards and reanimating key pieces, and his pump/life abilities are incidental. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built to win without ever casting him.
