This is my first attempt at anything Group Hug related. My long term goal for this deck is to have it be a competitive multiplayer EDH deck utilizing Group Hug dynamics to avoid making myself a target initially until all my ducks are in a row, so to speak, when I will then unleash Simic fury upon my foes.

I avoided making the deck too "huggy" deliberately as I feel the deck loses some of its 1-on-1 potential if I include too many cards that are beneficial to others. As such, I'm trying to include only enough cards to make others want to keep me around, until I'm in a 1-on-1 situation in which case I want to toss friendliness out the window and dominate the field.

I chose green and blue as my colors as, obviously, green has the most mana-related cards and blue provides the most control... not to mention I'm a big Simic fan. I chose Edric, Spymaster of Trest as general both for his card draw ability, and my inability to find another green/blue general who could accomplish what it is I'm trying to do here.

Included are many small creatures with various evasion abilities to assist in a continuous, albeit small, barrage allowing me to fill my hand with numerous cards, allowing me to set up for the win. Also included are many control methods such as counterspells, bounce, and removal along with some draw cards and mana assistance.

I'm looking to make this deck viable in a competitive environment, and I need any suggestions anyone is willing to give to get this deck to that level. I am looking to keep this deck at a budget of $500 USD maximum. If you suggest a card, please suggest what to take out for it. As always, +1s are welcome.
