The deck osculates between a political group hug deck, a combo deck, and a control deck.

Using Selvala, Explorer Returned it becomes easy to make friends at the table and to stop people from targeting you. Then you get you're pieces in place.

Selvala, Explorer Returned + Sword of the Paruns / Umbral Mantle - This lets you constantly untap Selvala, Explorer Returned as long as you hit enough mana with her. To ensure you'll almost always get at least 3 or more, have Mana Reflection out.

Selvala, Explorer Returned + Spirit of the Labyrinth/ Uba Mask - The main combo of the deck. While drawing cards off of Selvala, Explorer Returned is nice, at some point you can't keep giving your friends cards. These two make it so they don't get anymore cards while you still get your mana and life.

Using all the mana generated from that, throw it into a Helix Pinnacle which you'll want to do anyway. If you don't have your helix, you have Mirror Entity as back up.

Since you're almost a lifegain deck Serra Avatar and Well of Lost Dreams all are good cards to make use of.

Courser of Kruphix let you clear your top so you can always hit those juicy non-land cards.

The deck primarily plays like an enchantress deck, but has a few more options thanks to the ramp from Selvala, Explorer Returned .
