It's da hippo!! Group hug is not my strong suit but I thought I'd give it a try as I recently picked up a flying hippo aka Phelddagrif. I've played against a few different decks with the hippo as the commander and they seem to be fairly well received so it is my hope that this build brings a fun and interesting flavor to my play group as well.

The game plan is simple make friends then create infinite mana using Faeburrow Elder + Freed from the Real to give an opponent unlimited 1/1 hippo tokens then use Reins of Power take all the tokens and swing out.
