Good.

This deck, Choosing Piles, focuses on 2 concepts. Choosing things & making Piles. Every nonland, aside from the commander, contains either the word Choose or Pile. The commander choice (K&T) was part in due to color and partially for their text. The additional card every turn helps keep your hand full and people liking you at a table, but that's the end of the hug aspect. A break down of each category is below:

Wincons:4 wincons- 3 burn spells and a Bamboozle. Now you might be reading the card and question how does it help me win. I'd ask you how many times you've been able to bamboozle your friends. Casting this card once is the secret goal of the deck; casting it more than once feels even better.

SpellStuff:Cards that care about spells being cast, simple enough. Casting your opponents spells are often good choices since you're not usually doing the strongest thing at a table.

Wipes:There is actually a fair number of odd board wipes that involve choosing things. Somewhat necessary as it helps level the playing field since wipes are so asymmetrical for this deck.

Etc:The basic meat and potatoes of the deck; from card draw to recursion to tokens. No real rhyme or reason for any of these cards. They just fill in slots and often make the game interesting.

Piles:EotFoF. If you enjoy saying End of Turn Fact or Fiction then you may enjoy this deck. Pile cards are helpful with playing politics which is often the only way that this deck wins. Just make sure that you're as fair as possible when choosing which opponent has piles of fun with you.
