The whole concept of group hug made me laugh when first hearing about, smile when I first played against it, and then became a dream once I realized the potential behind the beautiful creation of Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. Commander is supposed to be crazy, so why not make sure that always happens? I say, give the people what they want! Unless of course they don't want a hug.....nah, force one on them anyway.

Hugs for All!

If we're going to make everyone at the table feel good, we should at least help them get started on their mana base. Give them a hand with: Veteran Explorer, Collective Voyage, New Frontiers, Tempt with Discovery, Ghirapur Orrery, Heartbeat of Spring and Rites of Flourishing.

If they're still not satisfied, give them more cards! Do this by using: Kami of the Crescent Moon, Selvala, Explorer Returned, Minds Aglow, Prosperity, Font of Mythos, Horn of Greed, Howling Mine, Temple Bell and Dictate of Kruphix.

At this point, if they don't love you, it's probably in your better interest to find new friends.

Presents!

When your opponents aren't being nice to you, try to smooth things over by giving them presents. They'll love it! Good ideas include:

Humble Defector: Give them cards and share with everyone else too!

Forbidden Orchard: I see your in need of creatures, friend

Assault Suit: How about some nice armor for that creature of yours?

Helm of Awakening: Look, all your things are cheaper!

Who says you have to be aggressive in EDH?

Gifts in Disguise

On the surface, it may appear that all you want to do is help your opponents. But little do they know what's really going on in that sadistic head of yours. We may have things that give the enemy a hand, but we also have things that only half-do that.

Arcane Denial: Sure, the spell is countered, but you drew some cards, didn't you?

Beast Within: Did you really loose a creature, though?

Chaos Warp: Hey, you still kept something on the field! Maybe....

Dream Fracture: Look, it may be countered, but here's a card. AND one for me.

Oblation: Wouldn't you like 2 cards instead?

Swan Song: You're a bird lover, aren't you?

Swords to Plowshares: Who doesn't like gaining life?

Forced Fruition: DON'T YOU WANT MORE CARDS????

Whoa, sorry.

I think you get my point.

Play the Political Game

Although we're playing group hug, we can't go completely unprotected. We need things to ensure that we aren't a target in the eyes of the enemy if they are seeing right through the facade of gift giving and being helpful. How can we do this, you ask? Play a political game.

Edric, Spymaster of Trest: You can have cards, as long as you're not attacking me

Gahiji, Honored One: Your cards are buffed, as long as you're aiming at someone else

Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist: You will have cards when our enemy is hurt

Zhur-Taa Ancient : I gave you more mana, so don't worry about this guy

Jace Beleren: I'll only use his +2, I SWEAR

If all this still isn't enough to keep them off you, we have straight up protection to make sure we keep kickin'.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope: Boardwipes? How about no

Blazing Archon: Trol-lol-lol-lol

Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs: Attack me, I dare you

Selfless Squire: I declare no block.....snicker

Windborn Muse + Ghostly Prison + Sphere of Safety: DON'T TOUCH ME

Dissipation Field: What was that?

Maybe they should think twice before they try to target you, after all. ;)

The Big Finish

Wait for it!

There is none!

Who didn't see that coming? Honestly, this deck is by no means meant to win. It's supposed to be annoying yet helpful for your opponents while sating your inner sadistic tendencies. In the end, if you aren't having fun, why are you even playing magic?

In all seriousness, if you like the deck please leave a +1 or a comment; I really appreciate it. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them!

Thank for the visit!
