HUGS 1001 - Introduction to Studies in Group Hug Play in Magic the Gathering

Professor: wbroomhead

Office Hours: TBA

TappedOut, room 237

[email protected]

3.5 Credit course

Overview

HUGS 1001 is a course designed for Magic players looking to “place second” in a multiplayer game. The whole idea is to help everybody out, and “play politics” in order to not be killed off. This syllabus outlines the techniques this course uses in order to stay alive, and make the game fun.

If you are not taking this course to make friends, please drop out and seek courses in the COMP (competitive Magic Playing) course area.

Selvala, Explorer Returned provides a core aspect of group hug, and in turn allows the structure of this course to revolve around this Commander.

Disclaimer

This is not a pure group hug deck, just an intro-level group hug. In later courses, card combinations such as the Stations combo will not be used, however to provide a smooth transition from other, competitive Magic playing, they are kept in.

Homework

You are responsible for understanding card interactions, as posted in the course schedule below:
