Variation on Group Hug. I am very open to critique/suggestions!

You might like this deck if...

• You like multiplayer politics
• You like to steal creatures and spells from opponents
• You like games with a lot of variance

You might NOT like this deck if...

• You dislike giving your opponents cards/mana
• You prefer aggressive or linear strategies

Game Plan:

• Step 1: You give the table lots of cards, mana, and free creatures (Hunted Wumpus et. al.).
• Step 2: Punish people for accepting those resources by stealing their creatures (Treachery, Insurrection, etc.) and hijacking their spells (Perplexing Chimera, Wild Ricochet, Insidious Will).
• Step 3: Win through damage (Treacherous Terrain, stolen creatures) or decking (Nin the Pain Artist, Blue Sun's Zenith).

Cards that play nice together:

• Yasova + Bazaar Trader/Djinn of Infinite Deceits (make the temporary steal effect permanent)
• Yasova + (make the temporary steal effect permanent)
• Yasova + Willbreaker (permanently steal any creature, even if it has power greater than Yasova)
• Yasova + Humble Defector (reuse Defector after giving it away)
• Bazaar Trader/Djinn of Infinite Deceits + Sower of Temptation
• Djinn of Infinite Deceits + pretty much any creature in your deck
• Willbreaker + Nin/Rite of Replication/Sower if Temptation
• Show and Tell + Sower of Temptation/Gilded Drake
