This deck is my take on a stage magician's game of magic. The only real combo is Illusionist's Bracers + Zedruu the Greathearted Key is to use your spells and creatures to deter players from attacking you, or just making it harder to hit you. Smoke, Wall of Denial, Fog Bank, anything with protection, etc.. Meanwhile, cause chaos and frustration by enchanting other players creatures with your auras, and gifting them with your artifacts and enchantments using Zedruu. With a bit of group hug/torment thrown in. This deck isn't meant to win, it's meant to put on a performance, and no two performances are alike. You're in it to lose, go nuts. 90 percent of the time you won't get creatures early and WILL die. So put on a smile and lie your heart out. Also, my case for Zedruu as the commander is, what good is a putting on a show if you don't get the audience involved? ;)

Tl;dr

This is what happens when I get red on my hands.
