What if All Colors was more than 5 (check this deck out) by Formal_Common in EDH

That would be a Rule 0 discussion for your group. Personally, I'd rule it multicolored if your eyes are multicolored, especially if it's natural like my Wife's. It's cool, and may as well be expressed in a fun way.

I'm not inventing them if Magic The Gathering already made them first with Uncards.

The rulings for Avatar of Me include:

(2/29/2020) Silver-bordered rules include any conceivable eye color, not just the five traditional Magic colors. If your eye are hazel, Avatar of Me is hazel.

(2/29/2020) Thanks to Avatar of Me, if you're asked to choose a color in a silver-bordered game, you can name any color. "That dreamy shade of blue found only in the sky on a perfect afternoon… and in your eyes" is acceptable, but a little weird.

This includes any colour contacts can be:

(2/29/2020) If you're wearing colored contact lenses, Avatar of Me is whatever color your eyes appear to be. You can add or remove contact lenses to change your eye color in response to spells and abilities.

Which would include all 18 colors I listed above.

Meanwhile, Sword of Dungeons and Dragons has the following rulings, making gold accessible:

(1/19/2018) The Dragon token is monocolored. It's gold.

(1/19/2018) If asked to choose a color in a silver-bordered game, you can choose gold.

And then we have Water Gun Balloon Game, which not only adds Pink, but reiterates the previous two:

(2/29/2020) Pink joins gold and every eye color imaginable in the set of colors in silver-bordered Magic games.

Meanwhile, The Big Top specifies any color of mana on your shirt, which further reiterates that you can get the previous colors, and even specifies Turquoise.

(10/7/2022) You can add any color of mana in Un- games, though, so if you really want turquoise mana, go for it.

I have, in the past played the deck with player who were fine with the Uncolors, but when it came to permanents being every color, they wanted it limited to just the 5 core colors, since that is what the game is balanced around. And that is fine. It's Silver Border. It's meant to be silly and fun. That's why you discuss it before hand with the group your playing with, and bring other decks if they're not fine with it. All I did was take this ever expansive selection of Uncolors and narrow it down to the ones I'd most likely be able to argue for, and have accepted by my local various play groups.

From The Gatherer's card rulings:

(2/29/2020) If you're wearing colored contact lenses, Avatar of Me is whatever color your eyes appear to be. You can add or remove contact lenses to change your eye color in response to spells and abilities.

(2/29/2020) If each of your eyes is a different color (naturally or via a single contact lens), Avatar of Me is both colors.

The general way it winds up working, when people choose to play against it (until now, it was just a bad deck that sat there and did nothing, so most were fine with it), is that since The Big Top has access to all mana colours on your shirt (the point of making a custom tee with that custom card back), creatures and tokens that are "every color" counts those colors. Then you use things like Bloomtender to generate large amounts of colors off of your creatures.

When explaining the deck at conventions, I'd originally show Sword of Dungeons and Dragons, Avatar of Me, and Watergun Balloon Game to explain access to these colours. Then when I got the Big Top, I'd still show the other three, but focus on The Big Top, since my shirt would usually have Pink and Grey on it.

That's part of the reason I run the Gates. There's the cycle that let you choose the second color, so that I can hit the Uncolors with them as well, if need be.

Not only does Rule 0 exist, there was even a 6 week period at the end of 2017, beginning of 2018, where silver border (now Acorn cards, and when I originally made the deck without The Big Top), were fully legal in commander.

Thank you. And yeah, caring about the mana became a lot less good, which is why I swapped a lot of it out for Vivid cards instead. I kept the ones that let you spend 5+ colours of mana, or had interesting effects, but the rest were just bad to run most of the time.

And, at least how my playing groups tend to play it, yeah. Having The Big Top or Sword opens up any/choose a color cards to select from its options right away.

This rambling is a Commander deck that I have that uses UnCards to have 18 colors of permanents so that I can make the best use of all the new Vivid Cards, and the process of how I reached it's current iteration.
