Trying to be a happy goat we don't want to have anything obviously jerky like "can't play creature spells" or "discard your hand at end of turn" first of all because of multiplayer diplomacy, but also spot removal. This deck is not running any counter spells to make room for more fun so if someone were to remove our zedruu before we can give away a jerky card we are severely gimped hence less jerkiness. That being said we obv have SOME protection.

Other then that its good ol fashion Hug-me-tight maybe too tight? That's the plan with forced fruition and other large group draw engines. While people are dealing with each others threats we are spreading our seed like Genghis khan. Until we POP the cherry with some crazy game changing broken funky weird enchantment that makes people groan due to all the triggers and magic they have / don't get to play. A weak soul will leave the table.

At the late point, who knows what is going on in the game, so many triggers all the cards are everywhere. we're all drawing cards. Most likely scenario is becoming milled and people are aware of their dwindling deck. We have lab maniac for ourselves with some protection for spot / board removal. We can also keep the draw train going with a trick or two for opponents.

If people get angry and try to attack the goat we have some life gain. But we're really banking on multiplayer politics here. And giving people so many resources that they don't want to leave themselves undefended. But there is a very real possibility of becoming the arch enemy.

Finally the game is controlled no one is having fun and we're ready to close the game. there's a few combo cards that almost instantly win us the game. others are a slower bleed. but no one can stop us. GG. Good Goat. Goat god.
