A casual multiplayer group hug sort of deck with a bit of control, letting you choose how you want your unexpected results... expected.

The Play

Blazing Archon , Dissipation Field , and Sphere of Safety all serve as deterrents from attacking you. Karmic Justice should also deter anyone from destroying your things if you don't get Avacyn, Angel of Hope out yet. Questing Phelddagrif can provide hugs when needed. If it gets too rowdy, Silent Arbiter can quiet things down or you can use Mageta the Lion to do some sweeping.

Cheat your creatures into play with Oath of Druids or hardcast them after ramping with Oath of Lieges . ( Gaea's Blessing and Quest for Ancient Secrets will keep you from milling too much from your library.)

Sterling Grove can help tutor for your key enchantments or serve as protection for them.

Zur's Weirding is a great way to promote "fair play" and let other players do some control of their own.

The combination of Decree of Silence with Solemnity ensures no one can cast anything anymore. (So basically, a time out for the rest of the game.) (A nice Cyclonic Rift can clear the board right before putting this lock into play, but I swapped them out for Reins of Power for more fun multiplayer shenigans.)

Abundance prevents you from losing due to lack of library and works great in controlling your draws with Rites of Flourishing , Teferi's Puzzle Box , and Bounty of the Luxa . It also gets around your own Zur's Weirding .

Artifact lands help with fulfilling requirements for Inventors' Fair to gain life or tutor for your Teferi's Puzzle Box , which is a great way to cycle through your deck and keep your hand fresh.

Timestream Navigator will net you the city's blessing very easily, plus can give you repeatable extra turns, especially if you have Gaea's Blessing and it as the only creature left in the deck with Oath of Druids in play.

Leovold, Emissary of Trest is just there to be a dic- I mean, make arrangements with Teferi's Puzzle Box . =) (Opponents will draw their first card of the turn, then shuffle them into their library's due to the Box, then not draw anything because of Leovold.)

And if you actually want to win with this deck, you can let everyone draw themselves out or beat face with any of your creatures with Rogue's Passage .

The Weaknesses

Still testing.

Nothing in here has hexproof or shroud so I would probably have to think about ways to protect permanents from being bounced. I don't care much for countermagic as everything gets recycled with Gaea's Blessing and Quest for Ancient Secrets . If someone steals your creatures, maybe Cyclonic Rift or even Evacuation (mostly because I like the art) can make it into this deck.

This deck is slow to start, but it's not meant to be super-competitive anyway.
