Your 1GW Knight of the Reliquary won't be of much use unless you want to put Plains and Forests into your 5 color deck (Along with Savannah and Temple Garden). I'd suggest replacing it with the 1GW Dauntless Escort [http://magiccards.info/arb/en/67.html], which can be sacked when you play: Wrath of God, Day of Judgment, Akroma's Vengeance, or when your Child of Alara dies to save all of your creatures.

You mentioned Progenitus, and the problem of opponents stealing him. I personally like the 5-color creature Cromat http://magiccards.info/ap/en/94.html with its abilities:

[{W}{B}: Destroy target creature blocking or blocked by Cromat.

{U}{R}: Cromat gains flying until end of turn.

{B}{G}: Regenerate Cromat.

{R}{W}: Cromat gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

{G}{U}: Put Cromat on top of its owner's library.]

The abilities are all very useful, and your opponents can't use them unless they have the correct colors of mana. Its nice each turn to leave enough mana untapped that you can use two or more of the abilities if you need them, especially regenerate and return Cromat to the top of your library.

With 5 colors I also like the Fifth Dawn Bringer of the Black Dawn http://magiccards.info/5dn/en/43.html (demonic tutor on your upkeep for 2 life) and the Bringer of the Blue Dawn http://magiccards.info/5dn/en/26.html (drawing 3 cards per turn isn't bad).

I'm not sure you have enough cards to protect all of your Planeswalkers from aggro damage, so I'd suggest that you substitute one of these CMC 5's for one of your CMC 4 or CMC 5 Planeswalkers. You won't be losing very much by substituting one of these creatures for a Planeswalker - take the Blue Bringer, who lets you draw 2 cards on your upkeep. Very nice ability.

I also like to have a reusable creature kill source such as Roy or Darkblast. I might substitute in a Ethersworn Adjudicator http://magiccards.info/cfx/en/26.html for the Acidic Slime. The Slime is a 2/2 Deathtouch which destroys a artifact, enchantment, or land when it enters play. While the Adjudicator is more mana-intensive with its activation cost, it can destroy a creature or an enchantment (2+ if you have sufficient mana) a turn (though it can't destroy an artifact or a land). It doesn't have the Slime's deathtouch, but the Adjudicator is a 4/4 Flier, a much more offensive creature.

These are just a few random thoughts, should you have the available cards.
