Deckbuilder's Challenge XLIV (Poll): Tales' Beginning

{Comments}Dicking Around In Tosche Station, pt. 3: Eat the Baby

{Comments} Since we took a break during Christmas, I hereby present a late Christmas gift -- a group hug deck for your EDH playgroups! The leader is chosen as such since it is in the color of snowy Christmas -- RGW a. k. a. Naya.

This is a straight-forward deck with a heavy aura theme. It says so in the title "Group Hug", so we will send our opponents' creatures & many auras as our gifts. Many of the auras are recyclable, so the gifts just keep on giving.

Of course you need to survive on your own, so there are also many enchantments that are just solid on their own or are just stupid on their own, and there are many enchantment synergies within the color. (which there are many since we are in the enchantress color. Wish they print more enchantment related cards for this color.)

But ultimately, it's a Group Hug deck. When you play this deck, remember the holiday spirit, and rememeber Everything that belongs to you also belongs to everyone.

{Comments}Long before the days of Stoneforge Mystic, Godo, Bandit Warlord existed as a possible way to cheat expensive equipment into play. With the existence of Living Weapons, this effectively means Godo could play some pretty nifty creatures while coming down as body of its own - Batterskull in particular works perfectly with the extra combat phase, but we also run a Nettlecyst to hardcast in mana screwed situations and Kaldra Compleat if we need something more resilient. (More specifically, in case our opponent is a fan of cards like Strip Bare or more realistically Shatterstorm or Terastodon, we run cards like Sundering Titan and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth to try and dodge such removal in game 2.)

To ensure we're able to cast Godo on time, we run a straightforward MonoRed Tron package with Karn, the Great Creator being able to pull from it as our plan B. Red is not exactly the ideal Tron color, so I put Faithless Looting in this deck to help it along - unfortunately, this means for a roughly Modern power level deck, it's only Legacy legal and up, but that's something you should be able to work out at the kitchen table or digital table.
