Hello everyone,

This is my first attempt to make a legitimate EDH deck! I saw Zedruu in someone's trade binder and realized how ridiculously fun a deck it could be. The idea is to get stuff that screws over its controller (Steel Golem and Grid Monitor , for example) and then give it to other people. Pyromancer's Swath makes people discard their hands and only helps them if they're playing burn, I can play Illusions of Grandeur to get only the upside and then throw it to someone else to deal with, and Celestial Dawn can completely hose anyone who's not running white (all their cards have white mana symbols but if their commander has no white, they cannot produce any).

As an additional theme for the deck, I decided I would also throw in a "taking control" element, where I'm donating all my crappy stuff to everyone else and stealing all their good stuff. There is also a decent amount of control, and all the Banishing Light /Oblivion Ring type enchantments can be donated around the table for free life gain and card advantage each turn.

I'm not too worried about getting good dual lands, as my playgroup runs a lot of lands that come in tapped, and it won't be a huge problem.

I was maybe thinking I could find more Voltron type stuff for Zedruu, perhaps some things to at least make him hexproof. I would also love to throw a Dack Fayden in but I don't think I can bring myself to drop $18 on one card. The planeswalkers I am throwing in are rather random but they are also fairly powerful.

Let me know what you think! Thank you!
