First attempt at building a Phelldagrif deck which doesn't solely focus on "group hug". You are still able to help out opponents if need be, but the goal is still to win the gane.

The main goal is to flood the board with hippos and letting opponents duke it out while you hide in your pillow fort (Propaganda, Ghostly Prison etc..).

There are several ways you can finish out the game once you have achieved just that:

-If you have cards like Soul Warden, Essence Warden and Soul's Attendant out, you'll be able to gain a lot of life by hippos entering the battlefield. The main payoffs for having a high life total are Aetherflux Reservoir and Storm Herd.

-Suture Priest does the exact opposite. It will drain your opponents whenever you give them a hippo. With enough mana this can help you kill 1 or even 2 opponents, if they are already low from duking it out with their hippos.

-You can use Ezuri's Predation or Deploy to the Front once there are enough creatures on the board and overwhelm your opponents.

-A more obscure way to win is Angel's Trumpet. This pretty much forces opponents to attack with their hippos or, if they're not able to, take a large chunk of damage.

No idea how well this deck will function, it's a first attempt. Feedback and suggestions are welcomed.
