The overall narrative for this deck is to ramp on turns 1 and 2, play Bumbleflower on turn 3, and then spend 3-4 turns playing politics.  I want to make sure that the person who is furthest behind can catch up, while slowing down anyone popping off.  To finish the game, I would either win via commander damage, or buffed creatures with +1/+1 counters.

Turn 1 - Ramp
Turn 2 - Ramp or Card Draw
Turn 3 - Play Bumbleflower
Turn 4-7 - Ramp/Draw/Control/Creature/Politics
Turn 8+ - Hit people in the face with the commander

Alternative Commander - None

Combo - None

Record - 0-5
Lost vs. Ulamog, Mindskinner, Tatyova - Mindskinner did a lot of mill, and I managed to die first b/c I had drawn so many cards.  So, good news, bad news?
Lost vs. Ur-Dragon, Bello, Teysa Karlov - Was a decent game, but Teysa was stuck on 3 lands for several turns.  When she got to 4 lands, she killed the Ur-Dragon and I (we were at 18 and 17 life), and got Bello down to 2.  Then Bello swung back and finished off Teysa.  I managed to cast two spells per turn twice.  I think I need to lean more into instants.
Lost vs. Unknown, Yennett, Omnath - This was such a great game.  I had a lot of responses, but I didn't have as much single target removal as I wanted.  I should increase the power level a bit to continue to compete.  Add a few more staples, add some more single target removal, more instants.  Remove some of the group hug elements.
Lost vs. Jodah, ?, ? - Jodah had a wicked fast start.  Mox of some kind, turn 2 legend, turn 3 two legends, turn 4 Jodah, swing for like 30.  Turn 5, swing for win.  I had kept a slow hand with no plays before turn 3, b/c I didn't understand the game we were playing.
Lost vs. Veyran, Otharri, Agatha - Was doing fairly well, but was down to 12 life.  Had a plan to handle the final attack, and swing back, but Veyran cast enough instants and sorceries to ping me down the 12.  Had counters in hand, but the trigger was on cast not resolve. 
Lost Vs. Storm, ?, The Ur-Dragon - Did a great job keeping Storm and Ur-Dragon from comboing off, but couldn't close out the game.  I drew so many cards that Triskadephile didn't work... I had 21 cards in hand!  I almost decked myself.  The Alt win conditions were not useful, the Storm deck kept wheeling them out of my hand.  Recursion and more ramp are what I needed.

Best Cards
Freestrider Lookout - This got me 5 lands in one game?  This card is so good with this commander, it's wild. 

Good Cards


Worst Cards
Proft's Eidetic Memory - I should have read the card better.  It only matters if you draw the cards before Combat.  I cast most spells on other turns.  I should change this to something else.
Wizard Class - While the unlimited hand size is nice, it's really expensive for the final stage.  I might be better off with a different wincon.


A couple of ways to go here:
1. Rabbits, and then mostly ignore the group hug part.
2. Ignore Group hug, focus on cheap cards to build your team and draw cards on every turn.
3. Full on Group hug, but with cheap cards (to cast twice per turn)
4. Full on control with lots of instant speed counter and value cards to keep those cards coming each turn.
5. Don't try to get two spells per turn, us it as more presents, but then focus on counters and flying.
