@ 5:18 I had an opp use Fractured Identity on my Rhystic Study once. That made for some funny laughs as everyone was asking everyone else if they were going to pay 1. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't get a copy so I didn't have to ask everyone all the time.
Azusa mono green is a surprising group hug commander. Play every fog effect to protect yourself, play every massive land fetch card, and group draw card. By turn 6-8 you'll have 25+ lands likely and finish with a spell like hurricane. Completely unexpected win-con.
I have a Kynaios and Tiro Group Hug deck that is a ton of fun to play. A few honorable mentions: Planar Birth, Walking Archive, Kami of the Crescent Moon, Dakra Mystic, Forced Fruition, Horn of Greed, Ghirapur Orrery, Well of Ideas, and Divine Presence. Group Hug is by far the funnest deck when you ramp everyone and give everyone gigantic hands so they can do whatever their deck wants to do...and then you just police the board with Capsize and Forbid.
I remember seeing a combo with Folio, where someone casted Windfall with like 20 cards in their hand, everyone discarded and drew 20, then he proceeded to tap and untap it several times to mill everyone out xD
*Ghirapur Orrery* just needs to be mentioned. The great thing about is is, that it helps out aggro players more then contol players and evens out playingfields!
Oath of Lieges is also a good group hug card. Allowing each player to potentially acquire a basic land before their draw phase is an excellent way to expedite the game. Enabling players to ramp is one of the most political things you can do and it helps you to not be targeted.
My top Group Hug cards: Ramp(Avatar of Growth, Veteran Explorer, Collective Voyage), Draw(Temple Bell, Howling Mine, Dictate of Kruphix, Heartwood Storyteller). Tempt with Discovery can be used as a Hug card but usually the smart move is for everyone to decline the offer. Personally I limit myself to 2 lands and I communicate credibly my limit.
I have a group hug kenrith deck that makes everyone search. It is like a knifes edge as everyone tries to be top dog only to be knocked down by the person who searches next. It's really fast and fun and I end it with ob nixilis to kill the greedy
I've been playing Pramikon lately. My deck is kinda group hug, until the moment i start forcing my opponents to swing on each other with creatures i gave them 😈
*Weird Harvest* is a true gem too. Drawing cards is nice, but giving everybody the creatures he or she wants to be given, is even better ^^
>Selvala makes it to the group hug list
>My playgroup proceeds to build her as a stax deck
Ooooh the pain...
Used fractured identity on a lighthouse chronologist, god the headache in that 6 man game

all together everyone! "WOULD YOU LIKE TO PAY THE ONE!??"
I think King Kenrith deserves an honorable mention at least
He effects all unfortunately he can be pricey

Seeing fractured identity just makes me smile whenever i see it. Reminds of when i F.I'd my own Omniscience in a game of 5 people lmao
Karona is my group hug deck, and the goal is to make everyone else win thr fastest I can xD
I just built a Shadrix Silverquill grouphug-deck and it's delightful.

Why no Well of Ideas
Guess I’m that one guy who plays group hug with the goal of losing as long as everyone else does crazy fun stuff
Exactly! That is why I play it. Take a break from the competition and just have fun policing the game
Rainbow Vale tho 😎
Braids is my favorite commander
Zedruu, the Greathearted, should also get an honorable mention, not just because of her name.
I like to use Fractured Identity on Steel Golem or Coveted Jewel to give my opponents those cards
Ahh yes. The Moment one of the Others plays howling Mine and i drop Motion thieve😄
I pair Howling Mine with an Underworld Dreams follow-up.
Otherwise known as the pheldelist
All hail howling mine !
Ahhh Karona.... The your momma joke of MTG cause everyone gets a turn with her XD
NICE
And all the mlp themed cards
Those aren't in commander as they are silver boarder
Play Princess Twilight Sparkle as commander.
Friendship is mandatory.
It is so frustrating to see so many players play Karona for Tribal or GroupHug :(
Karona outside a Voltron-Shell just feels wasted!
