A fun Phelddagrif deck with politics.there was a promo prophet of kruphix in this deck to give an extra boost of group huggyness, but unfortunatley the ban list happened.

Key Cards and InteractionsMycosynth Lattice + Ice Cave = Each player can counter any spell by playing the CMC Omen Machine will turn off the extra card draw you played earlier in the game, but allows a "everyone gets a free spell during their turn" mechanic. note, if you have Archmage Ascension active, you still get to tutor each turn too.
Celestial Convergence starts a clock and allows you to choose who wins, or force a draw with Arbiter of Knollridge (even more fun if you can find a way to flash him in at the eot, might be worth putting an card:Alchemist Refuge in the deck)
Power Conduit is your counter manipulation tool, and allows you to power up your opponents artifacts and artifact critters.

The majority of the tactic with this deck is let people know you are playing a group hug deck. make alliances with people and offer them bonuses. early game drop things like Tempting Wurm to put everyone on the back foot, then power up your opponents critters using the vows. if someone does swing or damage you, withold help and see how long they last. its a kingmaker deck, and you can steer the chaos of the game away from you as much as possible.

Recommended additions
Divine Intervention brilliant card for this kind of deck, you can draw out a game and then force a draw.
Terra Eternal if someone is playing mass boardwipes, especially with land wipes, everyone will love you for playing this.
