This is my version of a Zedruu the Greathearted deck, tell me what you think and what I should add or remove I'm always looking to improve it. suggestions for improvements would be appreciated.

The wincons are simple you can gain tons of life and play Test of Endurance, Felidar Sovereign to win. Other wincons would be having massive amounts of tokens from Assemble the Legion and swinging for lethal. or using your insane drawing power and either Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind or Laboratory Maniac to deal massive damage to everyone or milling yourself to success. I suppose your opponents conceding is also a wincon too...

Another way to win is by giving you opponents a bunch of "gifts" like Goldnight Castigator, Rust Elemental, Illusions of Grandeur, Embargo and having them die to the pressure.

The maybeboard is a bit of a mess but I threw in several curses I thought would be fun. There's also some more wincons like Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and drawing your deck, or Aetherflux Reservoir to kill someone from your massive lifetotal. There's other cards in there I thought would be good but couldn't find space in the 99 for them.

The sideboard has cards that would be good fit against certain decks. like if going against a graveyard matters deck or something that likes casting things from the graveyard.

Thank you for looking and I hope you can have fun with this deck as much as I do. There's massive room for improvements so please recommend any improvements you think would work.
