An extremely fun deck that, surprisingly, can still win, despite not making use of any especially powerful cards or broken strategies. The deck has three main win conditions: overrunning with tokens (likely either the wurms from Sandwurm Convergence or the tokens from Sylvan Offering [you can get X REAL big]), decking your opponents by having them accidentally draw themselves too low with things like Forced Fruition and then knock them out with Skyscribing or Minds Aglow, or decking yourself with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries on the field.

If you've never played group hug, I think this is a good place to start. Its so damn funny watching what opponents do when every spell they cast draws them 7 cards, their lands tap for 3 mana, they all have like 20 lands, Tidal Barracuda gives flash on everyone, and Upwelling is out to preserve their mana between phases. Its absolutely nuts, and its great. Plus, there's enough pillowy cards in the deck to keep the other players off of you until its down to the 1v1, and that's where the real game starts. You don't always come out on top there, but it feels so good to win in that moment.
