Just a quick hug

Commander / EDH

iglesia777


This originated as a "group hug" deck with some police aspects. Unfortunately that style tends to draw games out too long and nobody actually gets to do anything until someone gets an infinite combo.

Instead I removed the policing effects and added planechase style cards (EX: Angel's Trumpet , Pyxis of Pandemonium , Crescendo of War) with the goal of pushing players to make plays / avoid stalls and finish a game as quickly as possible. Cards like Helm of Awakening and Concordant Crossroads help speed up the game in general.

I've also included many counter spells. The purpose of these is only to stop peoples board wipes as well as protecting your own permanents that may affect some more than others (EX: Primal Order , Shimmer ).

One feature to note is the style of ramp. Because of all the card draw in the deck the ramp creatures (Sakura-Tribe Scout) let you put a land from your hand into play. This helps keep your hand size down as well as getting different colors if you need it.

If you play group games that typically take 2hrs or more, this deck is worth a try. Last time I played in a group of 5 we got 2 games done in an hour, and could have been faster.
