Commander / EDH Casual Group Hug GU (Simic)

"All are welcome." - Geier Reach Sanitarium

This group hug deck is based around card draw. Cards in this deck either draw everyone cards or want you to draw cards. You'll need to give everyone cards to fuel their own gameplan and politic your way to solve table problems while dealing with threats to you if you want to make the most out of this deck.

You'll want to begin by ramping with cards like Sol Ring , Simic Signet , Cultivate , and Circuitous Route , playing Edric somewhere in-between but before turn 5. If you don't have much ramp, try to set up some group hug engines like Howling Mine and Rites of Flourishing . From there, do your best to politic and keep mostly everyone happy, dealing with big threats as your card draw creates them and getting out cards like Spellbook and Reliquary Tower so you don't have to discard. Once it's possible, you can pull off the Enter the Infinite combo, being sure to do it when defenses are down from your opponents and you have a way to draw 2 or more cards.
The primary win condition in this deck is Enter the Infinite + Laboratory Maniac or Enter the Infinite + Jace, Wielder of Mysteries . It is a long term gameplan, but combined with ramp and card draw, you should be able to hit that 15/16 mana to pull it all off in a single turn with ease. You can also mill your opponents with friendship, making them draw as many cards as you can. Forced Fruition among others helps with this.
This deck can be a blast to play in a casual/semi-casual environment and the group hug elements lets everyone have a great time if built right. Venser's Journal , Propaganda , Mind Over Matter , and Meishin, the Mind Cage can be some great cards to add in to support the strategy.
