We two kings of Meletis are / Bearing gifts: we give lands and cards / Plains and mountains, Hallowed Fountains / And hands that are without par!

The group hug element of this deck is inspired by Kynaios and Tiro's two abilities, focusing around card draw and putting out lands. Since everyone is drawing a buttload of cards and playing a buttload of lands, you'll quite likely be everyone's best friend and not an immediate target. This should help you last long enough to get a strong defense into place using pillowfort cards (like Propaganda, Sphere of Safety, Windborn Muse) and cards that redirect opponents towards other opponents (Edric, Spymaster of Trest, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Vow of Wildness).

Once you're safely situated and no one can get through to you, then you have a choice: continue the group hug shenanigans (hey, sometimes it's fun to just see what everyone else can do with enough draw and lands to choke a horse!), or go for one of your wincons.

Those wincons are: ridiculous card draw redirected to direct damage with Psychosis Crawler, smashing faces with an enormous Multani, Maro-Sorcerer, or drawing yourself out with a Laboratory Maniac on the battlefield.
