So here is my EDH deck. It's geared for multiplayer pods of about 4-6 people. The deck tries to create a soft lock using cards like Winter Orb and Rising Waters with Propaganda and Pendrell Mists.
I normally win by stealing a creature from my opponent(s) and beating them down with it, or the deck can combo out in a couple of ways. The first way involves drawing your entire deck with Arcanis+M.O.M, then casting an unending wave of Beacons, or by Using Sensei's Diving Top+Helm of Awakening+Future Sight+Brain Freeze to mill out all opponents.
Couple of notes about some card choices:
Shapesharer
This guys seems good in thought. Overall he is a little weak, but when he shines, he's brilliant. And besides he can insta-kill an opponent's general.
Phyrexian Colossus
The Colossus is just a pet card but it should be noted that when enchanted with a Pemmin's Aura he is one hell of a beating.
Ghost Quarter
This card seems less blatantly powerful compared to other options (like Stripmine, and Wasteland) and it still gets the job done. I dont want to draw too much obvious attention to myself untill I am ready to make move.
Forsaken City
I have a lot of potential draw and this land can untap even under Winter Orb or Rising Waters.
Living Tsunami
At first glance I know this guy doesn't look very impressive, but if I happen to have a winter orb on the board, he isn't so horrible. Plus he is big enough to keep randon riff-raff from pinching and poking me to death.
Suggestions are plenty welcome.
Edit:
Things I've tested that haven't worked out:
Lotus Petal, Coldsteel Heart, Sky Diamond, Expedition Map, Slow Motion, Undo, Tidal Wave, Relearn, Island, Guilded Lotus, Rings of Brighthearth, Basalt Monolith, Lightning Greaves, Raven Familiar, Flooded Shoreline, Spin Into Myth, Twincast, Capsize, Rite of Replication, Fabricate, Tidings, Thawing Glaciers, Meekstone, Compulsive Research, Maze of Ith.
Thanks for the suggestions! I do have Future Sight in the deck, you must have looked it over, I guess. Probably due to how I have things broken up in my list.
I hadn't thought of Etherium Sculptor. . . After thinking about it, i decided its too vulnerable. It could be argued that Magus of the Future is also very vulnerable, but the difference between the Sculptor, and the Magus is the immediate card advantage. And aside from that I do have Helm of Awakening in my list. . .Shame it helps others, but at least I don't have to jump through hoops trying to keep it from dying to creature removal.
Hmm. . . .Cloud Key . . . Now you might be on to something there!! Thanks!
Thousand-Year Elixir seems pretty good for the slow moving Arcanis (no haste). Cerulean Wisps can get the axe for that.
Along with your Forsaken City, you can also use Ghost Town to help pay for colorless costs. You'll probably want a Reliquary Tower in there too.
You say Shapesharer is good, but I think that's much better in Horde of Notions, or at least a deck that can recur him. Maybe try the Pickles lock and Shapesharer can come out for Vesuvan Shapeshifter.

(By turning some black creature blue for example.)

Excellent!! I hadn't thought of Ghost Town. That's a really good suggestion. And later when Ghost Town is past its usefulness I can discard it to some other usefull effect.

Hmm. . .pickles lock. Good thinking. Did you ever play against pickles in type II? I did. I hated that crap. Which is totally odd btw, cause I dont mind playing against Stasis. Go figure. If I can manage to get both the cards to do the pickles lock I'll stongly consider it. It does go with my theme.
Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming folks!
New updates, added Worldwake cards. Just got through playing this deck tonight. It did rather well. I managed to get an early Sun Droplet, and a Propaganda on the board.
A few turns later I cast treachery on an Ob Nix (that was cool), then cast Winter Orb to lock down the board.
I ended up losing the Ob Nix (damnation), but a few turns later I drew my deck using my general+M.O.M., and cast beacon with 1 other card in my library. Discarded a bunch of cards after getting several threats on the board then lost because I discarded all my bounce. Damn quite guy in the corner had played a Font of Mythos and I forgot about it while casting stuff and untapping lands and such. . . Got to love EDH.
If you can get a Jace 2.0 he is a great toolbox.... bounce, draw, and deck all in one card. How has lightning greaves not worked out? I run a copy and it REALLY helps with arcanis. Tolarian Academy is always the source of infinite mana for me, I can find it with Tolaria West or Expedition Map and its gg. I like the above suggestion with Venser, Shaper Savant, guy has saved me countless times. I also run a copy of Teferi, mage of zhalfir for his ability to control the stack (i also become an immediate target when he hits the board) but otherwise I like what you've done.

replace magus of the future with future sight+ either etherium sculptor or more idealy for your deck cloud key+ sensei's diving top. draw out your deck for whatever you need, when you need it, and freeze people like crazy.
Thanks, Heroes of The Planes! You guys are great!
Actual Truth:
Thanks for the suggestions! I do have Future Sight in the deck, you must have looked it over, I guess. Probably due to how I have things broken up in my list.
