Plays a Group Hug game, and then slaps the Vow enchantments on Karona to force her into swinging at your enemies instead of you. In addition to the Vow cycle it also features the Guildgates, rings, Hunted, and Bringers cycles.

The Hunted cycle helps me make political plays and keep some players in check even though so much of the deck helps everyone. The Bringers help bring a little bit of offense and defense to my deck and give me some advantages to help stay in the game. I'd like to keep the hunted/Bringer cycles in tact.

I've been having difficulty trying to balance how many group-draw and mana ramping cards is safe to run. A T1 Eladamri's Vineyard can make some opposing decks grossly explosive.

Any suggestions for other fun Group-Hug style cards are welcome. Bonus points for on-theme 5-color cycles.
