you could throw transcendence in there as a bit of a last ditch sort of play, plus it blanks that one idiot with a deck full of lifegain

Brand // Opalescence is ungodly fun. I play it in my Zedruu deck. Aura Thief // Enchanted Evening also sounds fun.

I would second Transcendence being in there as well as Form of the Dragon as it's really nice to be able to just bring your opponent down to 5 life and kill them the next. If their life total gets out of hand either card is quite helpful. Also a huge burn out spell is good too, especially if it can't be countered. So besides your Comet Storm check out Banefire as it can be a good game ender when you have 17 land at the end of these super long games.

Thank you for the feedback you have given thus far Zicca21, Prehstun, lordmalphas, and Fungreatmario!!!

Decklist has been updated with changes and tweaks.

My friend plays a VERY political Zedruu deck. Two cards that I see pull major work every game are Illusory Gains and Delaying Shield.

CGoose

I love idea of Illusory Gains! I am definitely adding it. You can gain control of a creature an opponent plays and then proceed to gift to to a different opponent with Zedruu. That is a hilarious interaction.

Zedruu was my first commander, and she's still my favorite. I've gone through half a dozen or so versions of the deck. In almost every version though Venser, the Sojourner and Homeward Path were all-stars.

Some other standouts, in no particular order: Gilded Drake, Ensnaring Bridge, Thieves' Auction, Puca's Mischief, Paradox Haze (especially with Assemble the Legion), Pyromancer's Swath, and Perplexing Chimera

Sweet deck, +1! Have fun with the best commander ever!

Here are 60+ cards that affect each player. Find the ones that don't hurt your deck and give them away.

So besides Nevermore there is Null Chamber which I think is much more political. Basically once you play Null Chamber if the "deal" is successfull you've found your ally the whole game.

Thanks for the feedback magusoffarts and kengiczar! I have added some of the suggestions the maybeboard and will be exploring them.

Prehstun: Why/how would Brand + Opalescence work?

Well, generally you're giving them control of things... So on their end step you gain control of it all again, then animate them with Opalescence and get some surprise win or just more tempo.

I personally like Thought Lash as a quick way to eliminate one person.

Thanks for the suggestion DocMC! That is a good way to kill off someone.

I am going to be playing this deck at FNM tonight. I will post how it did later this weekend. If anyone has any last-minute feedback or suggestions, please feel free to share.THANKS!

Also, I have been considering removing Ruhan of the Fomori from the deck. Any suggestions on what Creature to replace him with?

Mindslaver is a great win-con w/ Thought Lash and Academy Ruins and all around tempo.

Bitter Feud is a fun political card if you're playing multiplayer

Thanks for the suggestions DARK_VOID and Maringam!

I didn't think about Mindslaver, but that would be a fun card to add. Academy Ruins would also be a great addition as it could help recover some of my artifacts.

Bitter Feud would be fun too. It could take away heat from me and put two opponents in a fighting match. I almost exclusively play multiplayer EDH so it could be a fun addition.

DECKLIST HAS BEEN UPDATED

Are there any other planewalkers that you think should be included in this deck? I was considering

• Daretti, Scrap Savant
• Dack Fayden
• Narset Transcendent

Thoughts?

Definitely Dack, as you can take their stuff, and Narset for awesome super copycat power

what about Confusion in the Ranks? Turns all of your creatures into Gilded Drakes.

Sorry, I mean creatures, enchantments, and artifacts :)

I love Zedruu! He can make most any game of commander interesting, even if the competition is Omnath, Locus of Mana and maybe an Narset, Enlightened Master. Anyone who is mlg enough to play him and be successful at it definitely gets a +1 from me

By the way, how did you change the art in the background?

Thanks for the endorsement Halphinian. I am greatly enjoying Zedruu and have been successful. As for the background, I am using some custom CSS.

Thanks for the suggestion Nightdragon779. I am going to have to test it.

I like this. Do you want me to cast my vote on election day or now?
