I'm playing Zedruu the Greathearted now, and I need ideas. I want it to have mean things to Donate, but it's also partially a choas deck with stuff like Scrambleverse, Wild Evocation, Fatespinner, Meekstone, etc. I already have a few things -- Steel Golem, Possibility Storm for the lolz. Any sugggestions?
Varchild's War-Riders will draw your deck if your opponents let it.

Varchild's War-Riders doesn't work for this easily. When a token enters play, its owner is the player it came into play under control of.
I'd throw in Arcane Denial as a "friendly" counterspell to stop someone from spoiling your fun.

Looks like the judges/employees at my local store messed up on the War-Riders. Good catch.

Probably the funniest and most flavorful thing for Zedruu to donate is a Didgeridoo
Mindmoil is pretty painful.
My favorite card to donate though is definitely Helm of Awakening
Other favorites include Stuffy Doll and Bottled Cloister

These are all great suggestions! I'll be putting most of them in.

Be careful with Transcendence. You'll usually be above 20 life with Zedruu, so in order to use it you have to have enough mana to play it and give it to each of your opponents one after the other, all before your lose game trigger resolves, and all your opponents have to be at above 20 life.
Alliteratively, you could play it, give it to somebody, then Stifle your own trigger, but you have to wait until your opponent to control it before casting Stifle, because otherwise it will just re-trigger for you.
All in all, very tricky to use.

Aggressive Mining, Illusions of Grandeur, Grid Monitor, Steel Golem, Transcendence, Pyromancer's Swath and Statecraft are most of the main ones you want to Donate to your opponents.
Illusions of Grandeur + Venser, the Sojourner is awesome...at making you lose your friends really quickly!
