Depends on the level. I would probably start muscle-wizard, with a decent Cha. Goal is Blade singer, and later multiclass into Blade-lock and EK. EK for extra melee capabilities, and Bladelock for the Invocations and Pact weapon. Between Pact weapon and Bonded Weapon you will always be armed. Mage armor Invocation might be decent, but Bladesinger will cover you well enough on AC during Bladesong.
You will be MAD as all hell, but it seems like a fun build in my mind. Also, talk with your DM to see if they will allow shield as a Bonded Weapon, then you could choose between Dual wielding (Pact+Bonded weapon), sword and Board (Pact+Bonded Shield), or Great Weapon (Pact). Plenty of flexibility. EK and Blade each give you 2 cantrips, while Wizard gives 3. 7 Total cantrips should cover your top list, as well as a few extra. Unless your list is longer than 7... But that is what higher levels are for. Since the cantrips all scale with character level, you should be able to remain competent despite your multiclassing.

How would this interact with polearm master?
In other words, would booming blade work as an OA with warcaster at 10 feet away? That would be interesting. Would GFB work with warcaster as an OA? I am assuming that it would. I also assume that you could not get a bonus attack with polearm master the same round you cast booming or green flame...
They can work with reach weapons if you take the spell sniper feat to double their range from 5' to 10' The best dpr whip builds I could create for fun were around EK and warcaster leveraging gfb and booming and you need the spell sniper feat for the range

Interesting. It would be possible to use a Glaive with polearm master, spell sniper and warcaster to tag someone far away!
Sadly that would not get together until high level without variant human or fighter feats...
