Deck overview

This Jeskai control deck centers on Zedruu the Greathearted and the classic bad gifts archetype. The strategy focuses on casting detrimental or symmetric permanents and transferring control to opponents. Detrimental pieces like Steel Golem and Aggressive Mining paralyze creature casting and land plays, while Illusions of Grandeur and Transcendence provide sudden player eliminations. In return, Zedruu generates steady life gain and card draw on every upkeep for each permanent owned under opposing control. To sustain this attrition game plan, the deck runs a dense package of low-cost instant spot removal to handle diverse threats across the board. Self-passing creatures like Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos and Slicer, Hired Muscle create an aggressive secondary clock that forces opponents to attack each other while you generate overwhelming card advantage.
