The theme of this deck is tribal group hug and pillow fort.

You aren't going to want to play Karona, False God until you've got enough mana to attach something that ensures she won't attack you (any of the pillow fort enchantments or "Vow" auras, plus Bloodthirsty Blade for artifacts, Maze of Ith , Mystifying Maze and Homeward Path for lands). This gives you plenty of time to ramp (and boy, does this deck ramp), getting your pillow fort and Curses up ahead of your opponents. Late game utility for ramping is assured by landfall effects (like Avenger of Zendikar and Emeria Angel ), plus Treacherous Terrain for the surprise sorcery kill).

The deck wins by giving select opponents tons of creature tokens, and forcing them to duke it out; then, by taking control of all those creatures (with Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor or Insurrection ). Blasphemous Act into Fresh Meat is extra spicy because tokens you put under an opponents control are still read as going to your GY before they disappear, meaning you get all those Beasts.

This deck is open to suggestions. I've only playtested it once. My playgroup usually plays the Kingdoms variant of EDH, which the deck was designed for politically. It was also designed to be less powerful than it could have been (excluding cards like Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors ).
