Communal Brewing
Group hug rarely comes with a payoff attached, which is what makes this design worth stopping on: it hands opponents cards but converts every one it gives away into a permanent buff for your own creatures. The ingredient counters do double duty. You get one just for the enchantment entering, then one more for each card a targeted opponent draws, so the more generous you are, the wider your creatures come down. That turns a one-sided draw handout (only your chosen opponents draw; you do not) into an asymmetrical scaling engine: the table gets raw card advantage now, you get board presence that compounds every time you deploy a creature afterward. The tension the card resolves is the perennial problem with political draw enchantments, which is that they help everyone else more than they help you; here the help is the fuel. It rewards a curve that lands creatures after the counters are stacked rather than before, and the total is locked by that single enter trigger, so short of a doubling effect the buff never climbs higher than the generosity you paid for up front. That frames the whole plan as front-loading one burst of card advantage to the table, then cashing it in over the following turns. It asks you to weaponize the one thing group-hug cards usually apologize for.
