This is a deck helmed by Kenrith, the Returned King and employs a group hug strategy to win the game. Mostly, this means making the table like you in an attempt to avoid being killed. This is a rather casual deck, but it's designed to be a lot of fun for everyone involved and also sometimes win.

Kenrith is an excellent group hug commander for 2 reasons. First of all, his abilities can target any player. This allows you to bequeath favors and politically aid opponents through your commander. Secondly, should you somehow manage to produce infinite mana (Ley Weaver, Faeburrow Elder, Argothian Elder, Freed from the Real, Pemmin's Aura, Maze of Ith), you can win on the spot by milling everyone out at instant speed with Kenrith's blue ability.

When not combo-ing off, this deck does 3 main things: 1. Ramp everyone really hard 2. Make everyone draw a lot of cards 3. Keep people from hurting you

By giving everyone lots of cards and the mana to cast them, you're letting them do cool things and letting them try to kill each other. By making yourself an asset, hopefully they'll give you the least attention. Hopefully, after drawing a bunch of cards, you'll eventually find a wincon.

Feel free to add more ways to make infinite mana to the deck or other ways to win. Be aware, the more wincons you add, the higher the chance your playgroup will worry about you.

Also, note that for flavor reasons, any non-symmetric removal in the deck gives your opponent a consolation prize. Because as a group hug player, you are a generous king.

Let me know your thoughts on the deck and if you have any ideas for improving it!
