Council of 4 group hug
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on June 12, 2022, 5:52 p.m. by vasarto77
I am thinking of making a deck using the The Council of Four as my commander and going with a group hug theme. Doing stuff that makes players draw lot's of extra cards during their turn and stuff. But I need ideas of what to put in this, especially wincons since I have never done group hug before. TBH, no one in my play groups has done a group hug before and I am excited to try it out. I am thinking Approach of the Second Sun is going to be one of them and using some of the edhrec suggested cards, but I wanna get some ideas from the people here too.

Anointed Procession to double up on tokens. Also consider that your opponents will be casting 2 spells a turn as well creating you tokens. So you have to take advantage of that too.

Hold up.
Whenever a "PLAYER" draws their second card for their turn, you draw one??
Okay okay, so Untap-Upkeep-Draw. Then I do some spell or ability to draw a second card.
Because it says PLAYER, Cof4 goes on the stack and I draw, AGAIN??

Geier Reach Sanitarium and Horn of Greed immediately come to mind here.
I'm not sure how you could force an opponent to cast their 2nd spell each turn. Usually you attempt to limit them, not encourage them. I suppose Arcane Melee and Helm of Awakening might be a good place to start?
And, if you do Kindred Discovery naming Knight, you'll draw whenever you get that token, which during your own turn will also satisfy your draw requirement to get even more cards, as well.

I put together this deck to see how it preforms a few days ago and I found that with the cmdr being 5 mana the decks strategy doesn't take off quick. So you are best off having a bit of a control shell

This thread hasn’t sparked my interest in making a “Stuffy Old Nobiltity” deck. If you have empty slots towards the end I would recommend filling in some flavor cards, like Castle and Aysen Bureaucrats. Buuuuut that’s coming from someone who doesn’t win a whole lot, so YMMV ;p

EDIT: I have actually BEEN motivated. Unclear as to why autocorrect wants to prevent me from making this Bureaucracy deck. These attempts will only steel my determination.

One of the people at my local gaming store has a Kwain, Itinerant Meddler deck where the win-con is mill. His deck is filled with Howling Mine type cards and wheels. He's also got a lot of control in it too.
