Is there a way to win with a group hug deck???

Ok thanks! I guess that this does make a little bit more sense but for me I am not knowledgeable in group hug decks. So I didn't know what the strategy was. The only thing I could think of before posting this is that you make a big pillow fort or just make friends with people and then have a dark side of your deck waiting to come out. I just didn't know what that dark side was or how to play it.

That is a silly question, it is like asking if there is a way to win with any deck :P
The answer is of course. Many of them use a combo like making everyone draw 1000 cards which usually works rather well since they already make you draw extra.
I've also seen a 5-color Nekusar, the Mindrazer which depending on what you draw and how you play comes off as a hug deck until you drop the nasty things you usually see with him.
Edric, Spymaster of Trest is technically a group hugger since he allows everyone to get lots of extra cards but most people run a lot of unblockable guys with him and I see people get chewed apart by Slither Blades.
Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis may be the most common group hugger. If you go to his EDHRec page you will see things like Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Progenitor Mimic, Chasm Skulker, Selfless Squire, Omnath, Locus of Rage, and Psychosis Crawler. All of those can bring you closer to a win.
Often group hug is about giving everyone stuff until you are set to either combo or clean up the left overs with something big and nasty.
