For the longest time I used to play a Group Hug Care Bear deck in my play group. I eventually got rid of it because it was always hated against for making games last longer. After some time I decided to make an anti-Group Hug deck to punish those that like to play Magic. So here's my go at it with help from you guys on suggestions for what to add in. Anything is helpful.

Here's what I've accumulated so far:

Try polluted bonds. You can gain quite a bit of life off of this

Thanks for those suggestions. I'll add them into the pile. Hkf, I've already got Chains in there since I actually have one.

Yeah, I want to stay 5 color, better than just B/R. The rest of the lands arent there because its just a list of cards I'm accumulating. The actual deck list will come once it's been narrowed down into a playable deck.

Armageddon

Obliterate

Terastodon

Yosei, The Morning Star

All is Dust

?

I guess it depends how anti-group hug you want to be.

The original Nicol Bolas from Legends too, perhaps?

I'll probably use the Yosei and Terastodon. Not a fan of LD, neither is my group. I'll consider NB but he'll be low on the list because of his mana cost.

wouldn't LD be exactly what you want to accomplish though, as an "anti group hug" deck, or am I misinterpreting what you want to accomplish

Yes, it would better fit the theme, but LD is hated not just by me, but by others in my play group.

Leyline of the Void - almost every deck interacts with the GY in some way.

Makes me think of running Helm of Obedience just for the lolz then.

Updated the list a bit. Any other suggestions to add to the list of cards for people to hate against other people?

I will definitely be putting in all 5 of the Primordials from Gatecrash in here.
