Commander: Zedruu the Greathearted

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This deck is a political donation-control build helmed by Zedruu the Greathearted, leveraging her ability to give away permanents for steady card advantage and life gain. The core plan involves donating detrimental permanents like Nine Lives, Illusions of Grandeur, Delusions of Mediocrity, and Grid Monitor to opponents, then sitting behind pillowfort (Ghostly Prison, Propaganda) while the donated cards hurt opponents or generate value. Secondary win paths include Brash Taunter damage reflection, Form of the Dragon pings, and the slow bleed of Scrawling Crawler or Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs tokens. The deck wins through attrition and board control rather than fast combo.
