Some say they were the first roommates in the Multiverse. Such good that they slept in the same tent on the battlefield, and were even buried together when they died!
"holding hands?" his hand his in his hair stroking his scalp, at the same time the other has his hand wraped around his waist, it is gay and it is ok for it to be gay just let it be gay.
Except that's not how the card works. It only triggers the token on CAST, not etb. In other words, if you flicker the wedding ring, you don't get to give a new player a token copy of it, meaning the board state has not changed in any way at all. If you were giving out wedding ring tokens with each flicker, you were straight up cheating my dude.
@@kingofbudokai Oh my apologies, I used the incorrect terminology, allow me to clarify the events. I used a fractured identity on my opponents token copy, and bounced the original back to my hand with another spell and recast it.
@@kindredreveler378 I've seen something similar happen. I eventually got my ring... The same turn I got an umbral mantle and . I went infinite. Issue was, I had no cards in hand. But I did have oracle of nectars. So I gave myself... And everyone else a million life. Now NOBODY dies to anything except commander damage. It would have been infinite, except this table made me tap for the mana. Thankfully, I had like 100,000 plant tokens due to rhys and I turned my gaeas cradle into a creature. It was infinitely big but someone had a creature that made it where you couldn't attack unless you had island walk or flying. Perfect storm of fuckery. If you're curious, I did not win. Opponent next to me won next turn by happily ever after of all things.
My preferred way to group hug is to see how many cards you can make everyone draw as fast as possible.Watching them go from thankful for an extra card each turn, to worried when they need to discard to hand size after every turn, to needing to kill me because they can survive drawing 20 more cards on my next turn. It is not mill I am giving them cards to play how nice of me
My group hug deck is korona the false god Step 1: cast korona Step 2: make the deal that no one can attack with, or kill korona Step 3: as soon as someone inevitably breaks this deal I proceed to gate keep and girl boss until the subject has been removed from the table
I loved my really bad "Multiverse War" deck. Basically, Karona with a bunch of Battles and "Oh, you attacked? Do it better". Basically, throwing violence into a catalytic converter and then sprucing it up under the guise of "Here, have an extra Commander everyone!"
My Kwain deck is one of my favorites 🐰 The idea is that I’m planning to go infinite and cast a symmetrical draw effect for a billion. Everyone, myself included, decks out and loses simultaneously. No tutors, minimal counter play, just an crapload of draw spells for everyone to dig for pieces as quickly as possible. I win when we all lose, and if you lose it’s not because I didn’t help you draw into your answers. I love it 😊
Ah, kyniaos, my first real commander deck. It was just a tad painful to finally take him apart a year ago. I can still remember the faces of my friends watching me loop both selvalas with Jeskai Ascendancy
@@narkfly Commander is Gor Muldrak, Ampbiologist. With him, the goal is to make sure the opponent has as many Salamanders as possible, whether they want salamanders or not. You do this off his effect, which puts a 4/3 salamander into play of whoever has the least amount of creatures at the end of your turn. You can also forcable turn other creatures into Salamanders, with one of the best options being Isocron Specter imprinted with Standardize, which allows you to turn all creatures on the battlefield into Salamanders. The deck's win conditions are using Seedborn Muse and the aforementioned Isocron Specpter play to just keep everything on the board as Salamanders, and given how your commander gives you and all creatures you control protection from them, you can attack without fear. The next is using cards like Peer Pressure to steal all your opponents salamanders. This has been a lesson on how to group frog. You're welcome.
@@drakefire6675 I can see you have an appreciation of the finer things in life. Are there good options for asymmetrical board wipes in Simic to support this strategy?
@@narkfly Not Particularly. I also run cultural exchange, and various other effects that allow me to trade my Salamanders for enemy creatures. Angular Lure Tortoise is another useful card, specially with the Seed born Muse and Isocron/Peer Preasure combo.
Thanks to you I've gotten more into commander. Having a blast, currently building my own deck so I don't have to borrow anymore. Admiral Beckett Brass is so fun, I love taking people's stuff
Been testing out Ian Malcom from the new Jurrasic Park cards w/ some friends online, and he may just be my new favorite "Mario Party" commander. Everyone getting to play everyone else's decks is a recipe for a unique flavor of insanity every game.
I'm gonna be honest, I never understood the appeal of group hug tactics until your video on Belbe. I now have a Commander deck around her. And you're giving me more ideas. 😂
A kingmaker group hug deck sound really fun. At the start if each game, you write the name of one of your opponents on a piece of paper and put it face down on the bottom of your library. Then you do everything possible to help that player run away with the game. Someone else may "win", but if your chosen, unwitting teammate pulls it off, you get to consider it a team effort. XD Legit kind of love that, I thing I might brew that up.
And then there's my own personal favorite "Let Fate Decide" Where I totally don't have Knowledge Pool and Possibility Storm up at the same time, with Isochron Scepter imprinting Tibalt's Trickery just in case someone tries to get smart with me and ruin the fun.
Blim, Comedic Genius is my favorite. Give out some good cards, give out some bad cards. Half the time people hate you and kill you because you gave them something that makes them unable to play lands, the other half the time people love you because you gave them something that works great with their deck
Nice! I actually called mr bunny "Springtrap" when I got to know him because he's a rabbit who only seems trust worthy at first....then you realize he is nothing but trouble. My current Group Hug is actually Bill Ferny. I am obssessed with trying to break this commander despite there being only one good combo with Akroan War Horse I think? I'm more interested in Maskwood to either Kingmake or using a spell to retake control of all off them and win the game.
Pheldagriff is a top tier group hug commander he’s mad fun. You can also add a win condition by giving everyone hippos and either taking ‘em or having it ping them for damage
Give me Aesi. I love my Soup deck (serpents of unusual proportions), and if someone at the table is getting uppity, a few swaps is all it takes before “oops, all landfall”
Yeeeeeaaaah baby, got a Kwain deck up and ready with basically every creature that says "untap Kwain" I could find. It tries to combo out and Lab Man win, but people struggle to complain cause they can also draw to try and find an out so people still feel it's kinda fair.
Personally the lotr elf precon, or as i so lovingly call it, voting season Is my favorite way to see silly shit happen while still legally calling it group vote
My favorite group hug commander is Nekusar. Everyone gets to draw cards! And you're in Grixis to make sure no one else gets too far ahead of the rest of the table.
I play almost strictly group hug when I play commander and my new pride and joy has been Ms Bumbleflower she can use all the the things mentioned in this video and has been great fun. I have seen people attack eat other like rabid animals just to stay in my favor or knock out the first person that tried to make me loose. It is so funny to sow cause with the deck. Hope you can do a video on her in the future if you havnt already.
Made K&T Mario Party by accident once. The thought was to play a bunch of beneficial stuff for everyone it'll ramp up for big, flashy, quick games, and while it succeeded magnificently at points 1 and 2; 3 was a colossal failure. Turns out when you super charge the arms race, you end up with a very complicated cold war where no one can do anything for fear of mutually assured destruction.
Built atraxa group hug, handing out indestructible and +1/+1 counters to everybody besides the usual group hug ramp. It‘s tons of fun and a completely different route for one of the most loved/hated commanders
King Kenrith had one of my favorite moments. I vowed to a friend that on a later turn, I would use his white ability (life gain) on him when he really needed it. A few turns later and I told him that I would need to break my promise and to be honest, he threw a bitch fit and demanded that I keep up my end. I reminded him that it was my WHITE ABILITY, that I was going to uphold and that he didn’t care. I told him fuck it and I played the card that prompted me to want to breaking my promise; Tainted Remedy. He was pissed, but he forgave me later. There’s a reason why my Kenrith deck was infamously nicknamed by my friends as “Monkey’s Paw.”
I like the type that gives a ton of resources, but only allows each player/opponent to cast or do one thing a turn. Everyone skips to casting big things, but only one each turn, and not much interaction.
Would love to see Zedruu the Greathearted get mentioned at some point. She's so much fun as a commander! Nothing like giving out a bunch of presents with a couple bombs mixed in.
My Xyris the Writhering Stotm was originally a group hug. Just wanted to make snakes for my planes. But then everyone wanted to play their good decks with all my benefits. I got tired of getting rolled by Najeela after a while and Xyris started his villain arc. Now it is the most feared deck at our table and I can only play it once per night.
My Kwain deck is loaded with tutors to grab wedding ring, artifact clones to hand out more wedding rings, and bounce effects so I can recast wedding ring to hand more out.
My primary deck is group hug with the gay kings at the helm. I call it The Huggernaut and I explicitly avoid using pillowfort effects or any cards that punish my opponents for having/using the resources I provide and instead tries to leverage a win off of it's own boosted resources with cards like Wizard Class and Kessig Wolf Run. It's a chaotic mess that always makes for a more active and involved game and my play group loves it.
Or Option 4: Tergrid Group Hug. Let everyone play the game all they want, then decide theyve all had their collective fun, drop an All is Dust and watch them cry as everything you gave them is now yours.
I raise Phelddagrif as the Grandfather of Grouphug. Didn't appreciate the big ol flying purple hippo the way i should have about 5 years ago, you can play "everybody wins" from behind the cist of 47 per attack/spell headed your way, a pillow thicker than the Jetpuffd Giant, and an absolute platoon of Squirrels.
Personally i love my breena group hug deck cause i get to give everyone knives with such callous disregard and laugh as the table stabs eachother and let me turtle
I liked using Riku, he stayed around longer to double the nutty stuff and then suddenly you could nuke some people with well timed replicated fireballs
We should also respect and understand one of the fond originators of the group hug. Pheldagrif. Nothing says hugs like a flying hippo that not only plays 2 of the most tax fraud colors in magic, but also can tell you to fuck off any damage you give in return. we love to cause the funniest interactions and chaos at the table, but so help you god if you throw our friendship back into our face because we will turn on you with a fierceness that knows no bounds of the law or Geneva convention.
"The power of friendship does, in fact, have hands." fucking sent me lmaooo

One of my favorite moments with Kwain was when I flickered Wedding Ring and married every opponent at the table.
I use wedding ring in my Breena, the demagogue politics deck, because forcing political marriages on people is fun.
Except that's not how the card works. It only triggers the token on CAST, not etb. In other words, if you flicker the wedding ring, you don't get to give a new player a token copy of it, meaning the board state has not changed in any way at all.

As a Kwain CEDH player. His description is on point.
Do you have a deck list? I’m trying to build a kwain deck rn
I don’t have a cedh list but descendant of soramaro is a powerhouse. Get big hand, then stack your draws that deep
We need that cedh list baby. We need it bad. And a primer. I'll let you turn me sideways.
The I've always wanted to build a "oh were just roommates"..grouphug.
Love the close up "Carefully". And UW is def IRS colors XD

Step 1: cast korona
Step 2: make the deal that no one can attack with, or kill korona
Step 3: as soon as someone inevitably breaks this deal I proceed to gate keep and girl boss until the subject has been removed from the table

I have a similar game plan on my significantly worse but extraordinarily goofy Rakdos Group hug deck with Rohgahh of Kher Keep.
Karona is bae. I play her mainly as a Naya Goad deck. You all have to fight, I even give you a bigger stick for whackin. Oh btw you can't touch me.
I do this, except i put impetus and vows on korona in order to make sure i can't be attacked by it

I play K&T as a chaos deck. Everyone ramps. Everyone draws cards. Nothing goes how anyone wants it to or expects.
I love K&T for my group hug deck makes the games go faster by giving everyone their ideal endgame boardstate when the nukes starts being thrown.
Playing Knowledge Pool with no locks, just because you can, is peak chaos
@@sethb3090 this man gets it
I can't wait to hear about the Mario party commanders
I use Zedruu for that. Chaos is so much fun, but everyone expects you to play Stax
@MathasiaJ one of my favorite cards to pair with zedruu is confusion in the ranks
My first thought for Mario Party was Chance Time! Aka Norin the Wary + Confusion in the Ranks and Grip of Chaos for that extra bit of silliness.
I run a muldrotha group hug and it is those colors almost exclusively for Endless Whispers
Oh my god, they were roommates...
Still playing OG hug Pheldagriff!
Current version is named angry hippo 😂
Hangry hangry hippo lol
walking into a bar fight and handing out knives
