Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Zedruu is a donation-control engine: the deck slows opponents with counters and pillow-fort enchantments, then converts Zedruu's upkeep trigger into massive card advantage by giving away spare lands and harmful permanents. The primary kill is a stack-based game-loss gift: Sudden Substitution hands an opponent Transcendence or Leveler while it is still on the stack. A secondary path forces opponents to fight through goad effects while you assemble a Knowledge Pool + Drannith Magistrate lock. Iroh, Stiltzkin, and Bazaar Trader act as backup donation outlets, but Zedruu remains the main source of draw and repeatable control.
