Okay it's about time I write an actual description for this deck.

So, the main strategy of this deck is to give everyone a gift, because you're one great-hearted person and no one is free from your endless benevolence.

How do you give your opponents things?

Well, obviously you can use Zedruu the Greathearted ability, but more often than not people will try and counter/kill her. Not everyone is ready to accept such good-hearted gift giving.

Because of that we have a couple of things that will help on the glorious gift giving. You can either use Donate and Harmless Offering for that special gift you want to give a loved one, or embrace the full christmas spirit and drop down a Puca's Mischief so you can trade your precious possessions for something of equal or lesser value of them. Yes, they might say that a Steel Golem for a Sol Ring wasn't a fair trade but they just don't understand the true meaning of christmas.

Now, what can you give them?

Well, what about the Banishing Light you used to send their commander back to the command zone?

You can also help out that monoblue control player giving them a Pyromancer's Swath so their spells do that extra damage. They might say "I don't have any spells that actually do damage" but, well, that was just a poor choice on their side, obviously.

Of course you have gifts for everyone and your aggro friend is also getting one! Just give them Statecraft so their creatures will be protected from combat damage! I bet they will be thankful.

Also keep in mind that you don't have to elect favorites and can just use Fractured Identity on something like Pyromancer's Swath so no one ends up jealous.

All in all you'll just be on the table being that helping hand so whenever someone says "Ugghh I need something to block damage" you'll be there to give them Delaying Shield. They might protest about some good dozen of counters on it, but that's just them being ungrateful.

After everyone is happy with your gifts you can close out the game with Assemble the Legion, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Luminarch Ascension, Storm Herd or nuke someone off with Aetherflux Reservoir.

At the end of the day, just remind everyone that it's the will of Zedruu.

Any suggestions, comments, and gifts are most welcome. <3
