I'm glad to see that the first challenge got so much attention, so on to the second one.  For this one I went with building a format based deck...

Challenge:  Build a Rainbow Stairwell deck.
Rules:
1)  A rainbow starwell deck is a singleton 5 color deck.  The deck is made up of 6 cards of each color plus 6 of a combination hybrid/colorless/gold, for a total of 36 cards.  4 of each basic land and 4 differant non basic lands, round out the deck.
2) The stairwell part is that each of your 6 cards for each color/mix needs to be converted mana cost 1-6.  So for the red portion of your deck, you might have something like the following...

  • CMC 1 = lighting bolt

  • CMC 2 = hellspark elemental

  • CMC 3 = Browbeat

  • CMC 4 = blistering firecat

  • CMC 5 = Incendiary commend

  • CMC 6 = Capricious Efreet
3) The cards need to have a cmc 1-6 so no cards with a cmc of 0.  Just a reminder X counts as 0 so it still needs to have another sost besides X, in other words, blaze counts as cmc 1, chimeric mass can't be played
4) Any card besides the restrictions above or uncards are legal for this

I like your build lin.  Especially how each color has its own little subtheme going .  The white one is interesting not your normal white effects.

I do have one question about it.  I do like how it is creatureless and I see lot of control aspects but nothing to win you the game.  I might of missed it but what is your wincon.
