Commander: Zedruu the Greathearted

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Zedruu deck wins by giving opponents permanents that hurt them. You use Zedruu the Greathearted, Donate, Harmless Offering, Bazaar Trader and Role Reversal to pass Bronze Bombshell, Steel Golem, Grid Monitor, Rust Elemental and Akroan Horse, which lock opponents out of casting creatures or deal direct damage. You also donate life-swing enchantments like Illusions of Grandeur, Delusions of Mediocrity and Transcendence, then lock their downside with Solemnity plus Nine Lives or Phyrexian Unlife. Zedruu is the main draw and life engine, gaining cards for each donated permanent. Hidden commanders are Bazaar Trader, Donate effects and Niv-Mizzet, Parun, which provide a second win with Curiosity, while Felidar Sovereign offers a life-total win.
