Hi, I have been trying to make a deck with Kenrith, the Returned King since it has been spoiled, I have recently decided that the deck will lean more towards Forced Combat/Pillow Fort, allowing my opponents to beat each other up. This is not a rock solid plan, but I would really like some suggestions to help make this deck, both ways to achieve the decks plan, or card suggestions. Thank You for your help!

Some of your options for infinite mana could be
Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake
Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal but you’ll need a lot of rocks.
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds + Staff of Domination / Umbral Mantle / Sword of the Paruns

I second Joe_Ken_'s suggestion that you try to combo off so you can win through forcing opponents into infinite card draw. However, I disagree with group hug as the means to that end. Instead, I would recommend the exact opposite approach--Stax. Group Hug only works so long as your opponents know you're not that threatening. With a combo deck, however, they will quickly learn that you can explode out of anywhere and win--thus, you both have a target and your deck is built around enabling their ability to kill you faster.
Stax has a much greater replay factor, and tends to compliment infinite mana combos well. You could probably play around with a reanimation and self-mill subtheme, as a means of getting around the Stax cost increases.

I feel like Training Grounds might be useful here. I reduces all you abilities by 2 generic mana. Granted, it helps your opponents as well.

Hey, maybe you want to check my version of this kind of deck.
Like you, i instantly wanted this deck as i saw kenrith for the first time :) maybe this will help you.

What you could do is make a theme around group hug while sneaking some form of infinite mana engine in there. Seem like ‘Kenrith the Kingmaker’ until the engine isn’t on then target people with his draw ability with an infinite mana engine and win the game that way.
