Zedru the menace by user9071550

Commander: Zedruu the Greathearted

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Zedruu is a donation-and-stax deck built to stall the table with taxes and defense, then let Zedruu convert unwanted permanents into cards and life. The primary plan is to stabilize with prison effects, donate mildly troublesome permanents, and eventually force opponents into expensive upkeep choices or an impossible spell lock. The secondary plan is token generation and copying problematic permanents through Fractured Identity to create global restrictions across the table. The deck does not use a hidden commander; the double-faced Invasion of Theros // Ephara, Ever-Sheltering is a tutor/draw payoff, not a build-around face.
