Grouphug, light pillowfort, plenty of alternate win conditions, taplands! Play politically! I am king of the castle! I am a gracious and benevolent king! Ask and ye shall receive!

Now with more Equity! Draft 3 of this list has been influenced by Spice8Rack's wonderful ChannelFireball article about EDH grouphug decks being more interesting if they go more for equitable effects rather than equal effects. Help out the little guy! Punish the big guy (a little)! Bring true peace to the realm! Live Happily Ever After!

Several Years Later

In preparation for finally buying this deck something like five years after I last modified the list, I made some major overhauls. Added more removal and a metric ton of Gate interaction (and Gates, since they printed more of them). It's now Grouphug-Pillowfort Gate Tribal with a couple of alternate wincons in there for fun. It's also even more equitable than when I actively chose to make it more equitable!

Start the song at 0:30 to hear the verse which is literally the only reason I picked it for this deck.
