No one can refuse zedruu's gifts!!!

The deck is back in all it's evil grouphugging goodness!, This time with an actual description.

My general take on zedruu is accelerating the game for everyone while reaping additional benefits for myself, Keeping everyone else in check while i draw for my wincons.

Game Accelerators:

• Mana Flare Double the mana double the fun!!, until i play the burn spell...
• Kami of the Crescent Moon More draw more goodies.
• Humble Defector Even if i dont get it back i'll still get to draw an extra card with zedruu.
• Oath of Lieges more land? heck yeah!
• Minds Aglow so..... how about everyone keeps their mana open?
• Rhystic Study again, more cards, only for me though. (did you pay 1?)
• Clever Impersonator more of the above? yes please!!
• Copy Enchantment even more of the above?? yeah!!

Protection:

• Propaganda Just give out some flyers that say "zedruu did nothing wrong"
• Norn's Annex Lemme just call my girl elesh norn to build me a wall.
• Deflecting Palm So you're attacking me with that 10000/10000 hydra?
• Delaying Shield + Zedruu the Greathearted Burn?, nekusar? no problem, pass them the shield afterwards and watch the horror on their faces when they realise they can't pay white.
• Rhystic Study Again, more cards, only for me though. (did you pay 1?)
• Assemble the Legion And you get a soldier! and you get a soldier! and everyone gets a soldier!!
• Akroan Horse More of the above, but with a free zedruu trigger.
• Grand Abolisher you wanted to sacrifice your creatures in response to my combo? i'd let ya, but my buddy over here thinks otherwise!

Control / removal

• Pongify Why are you mad? i brought back harambe for you!"
• Swords to Plowshares Sorry damia, you've been exiled to the mercadian farmlands.
• Arcane Denial Hey, at least you get to draw some cards bro.
• Render Silent Ssshhhhh......
• Wild Ricochet Mine X2!
• Time Stop IT'S TIME TO STOP, NO MORE, WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?!?
• Shattering Spree For when vandalblast is too mainstream (it also doesnt hit the stuff you gave away)
• Venser, Shaper Savant a versatile counterspell you can give away afterwards!
• Perplexing Chimera Steal something first, then watch your opponents steal spells from eachother.
• Leyline of Anticipation Do whatever you want, whenever you want!

Wincons

• Blasphemous Act + Firedrinker Satyr + Mirrorweave The signature finisher for the deck, just make sure you give away your creatures so you don't kill yourself."
• Dream Halls + Enter the Infinite Play Dream halls, then discard something blue for Enter the infinite, if that gets through it's game 99% of time.
• Laboratory Maniac draw your deck with zedruu, use other cards to accelerate your victory.
• Storm Herd got 60 life? now you got 60 pegasi!
• Aetherflux Reservoir Where did this goat get a doomray anyways??
• Insurrection Maybe your creatures just wanted to be on the winning side for once?
• Comet Storm use mana flare, copies, and turnabout to cough up the mana (or just bide your time until your opponents are low)
• Illusions of Grandeur this trick never gets old.

Oddballs

• Thieves' Auction Grab zedruu first, then your essentials, then other people's stuff so you get tons of zedruu triggers!"
• Rite of Replication Creature copying goodness!.
• Paradox Haze Double the triggers!.
• Wild Research Tutor! just hope you're lucky...

All of the other cards should be fairly obvious, as always questions and suggestions are welcome!
