Do you like to draw cards? Do I have an #EDH deck for you! My buddy Edric here and his band of whimsical weenies are here to ensure everyone draws cards so long as they don't hit you.

This deck is very straightforward and good at what it does; flood the board, draw your entire deck, take infinite turns.
