Karona Group Hug is FUN!

Commander / EDH* Five Color Group Hug

plax77


This is a Group-Hug Deck. It plays really well as a Group-Hug deck. I get 2nd place in nearly every game. And the games that I don't get 2nd it's because I got first! I'm actually winning a fair number of games with this deck now! It's fairly awesome! I'm really loving its playstyle at the moment and right now I'm just focused on improving what I already know works.

How it actually works is that I play all these group-huggy spells and then I play detterents. At this point everyone is playing everything they want and they don't want to kill me because either A: I'm the one that's ensuring that they get to tap for 14 mana a turn and without me they might not win, or B: To swing at me they have to tap for 25 mana AND if they hit me, they have to sacrifice the creature. Eventually the last person will attack me, and being vastly overpowered (as I made them that way) they'll probably crush me. BUT! I just got 2nd out of 6 or 7 people and I'll get second in nearly every game! And that feels fun to me. And maybe, just maybe I can stall long enough to win with Maze's End instead of just scooping after a couple turns of them only having enough mana to attack me once. And as it turns out that's actually a pretty effective strategy as I'm starting to win a multitude of games through just attrition. By turn 20ish I'm actually the closest person to winning the game just through my stupid maze's end combo. It's actually working... It's something that I really didn't expect. But hey! You know what they say, never look a gift horse in the mouth or something like that.
