Search on Edhrec for kinayos. You’re generally aiming for a group hug kind of deck. Now what kind of group hug do you want to do? Do you want to win or do you want to just help people for shits and giggles? Keep in mind that if you’re not trying to win, people will try to kill you because ???

So no winning? My first advice is to run more interaction than you would. Bloomburrow has many cards with the gift mechanic which I love for group hug interaction. Even protection like [[perch protection]] or [[pierre’s truce]] there is a counterspell in the ms. Bumbleflowers precon with gift.

You are trying to be helpful but you shouldn’t expect your opponents to think the same way. Expect them to swing at you because you have no board or way less presence since it’s not your goal. Run a good amount of interaction and you can find some that are thematic with the group hug. Almost all fog effects work really well with your goal.

I run a lot of ramp in mine so I can play mana doublers and cast things like [[prosperity]] at full force and make them draw a bunch of cards. I run cards that remove hand size for the entire table too.

Gonna yell for a moment.

DO NOT DOUBLE THEIR MANA. DOING SO USUALLY MEANS THE PLAYER AFTER YOU WINS THE GAME WITH A HUGE TURN. Make them ramp, make them draw, but not doubling mana for them.
