Hugs with Jodah for speed. Cast love, let everyone play MAAAaaaGICCccc avoid death because people don't actually WANT you dead then pull out Mazes End for the games that just don't end. We have land protection and some big girl threats to distract them a little and save our permanents. A little recursion and a LOT of card draw to keep us playing the ENTIRE deck every match. Works in 4 players only, other wincons include Prosperity for a million or a faster Burgeoning/Awakening/Mazes End 2 turn madness if players aren't paying attention. This deck is NOT supposed to win, but does more often than you'd think because POLITICS and PSYCHOLOGY! YAY! Veteran opponents will notice it's power early so switching into a Wrath/Scapeshift/Tutor/Ramp for true mazes end deck with a side board is easy if you want (or just switching decks). Gates fix mana, and tons of basics instead of my more fun land editions are viable with the decks natural ramp. Sideboard here is full of just extra cards you can play into the deck against specific match ups or if you just want more hug less angels or less hug more global hate. Fun stuff: Hypergenesis, Living End, or Restore Balance can be cast immediately with Jodah. (If you want to run them.) The deck is fun if you aren't trying to win and more often then not you actually end up winning because typically the most satisfying way to end a casual match is to let the hug deck win i guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Note that Flash is very important granting you immediate access to your own buffs instead of letting the entire group benefit then smash your face before you get a shot at it. The person to your left will almost always win in any even matches so be sure to change up who you sit next to to avoid favorites which is also why flash is necessary. Pariah plus Avacyn is great, but works just as well with bubble matrix. Keeps you safe from aggro, Kozy is for Mill, Pull from eternity gets any gates that have been exiled by big meanies. Drawing your deck and shuffling it back in then drawing your deck again is pretty common for the table which is one way to win (Nezzy+Heartwood+Rystic is CRAZY for you). No lab man in deck so take care to keep the graveyard occupied to refill the library with Kozy or Elixir of Immortality if necessary. Paid prize matches probably should lead with the "I'm running Hug is that ok?" question. Some prefer you actually try to win ... I know it's weird. If you have other favorite combo-y madness you can always switch it out for my prefered Vaevictis, Avacyn, Bubble Matrix, Pariah, Platinum angel fun times. (I like Angles and Dragons what can I say). This deck is really just a bundle of what you always wanted to play but never could but people let you with this deck for some reason. The deck is challenging to run if rules knowledge is limited plus the deck requires attention to so many triggered abilities just chant the changing of phases and physically stacking your enchantments and artifacts in order of which phase the trigger in helps me. Enjoy :) Any other fun-time-magic-stuffs you have in mind for the deck theme would be coolio. I enjoy random magic fun time.
