Multi-Color Defenses?

I've been thinking about this for a while and I wanted to get some other peoples' onions on the matter...

When building and playtesting decks, I am sometimes able to pull off multicolor offenses, but all my MC defenses (especially if they are more enhancement-based) fail miserably. I think this is because as the rescuer you have a choice between rescuing and not rescuing, but as a blocker, your only choices are blocking and giving away a soul. Thus, I can wait for my offense to draw the cards it needs before I go out, but I can't do the same for my defense, which means that if my opponent comes at me with a quick, strong offense, I simply cannot prepare myself in time.

Does anyone else have a similar problem? I was toying around with an orange/gray defense a bit ago, but I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted. My opening draws were never prepared enough for blocking sufficiently. So how do you guys get enhancement-reliant multi-color defenses to work?

My current defense has 8 evil characters, 9 evil enhancements, 4 different colors and is in a 56 card deck. It is probably one of the strongest defenses I have ever built for T1. Multicolor defenses just take alot of time and effort to perfect.

That's your problem, BubbleBoy.  You're not using Manasseh.  Just use Manasseh and all your troubles will go away. :)
