Playing Zedru myself and sadly i found that Rust Elemental and Jinxed Idol kinda counter what we want to do because you give your opponent the ability to sacrifice donated stuff :(

Even tho very nice list =) +1

You might like these: Bone Miser, Avaricious Dragon, Bag of Holding, Endless Whispers, Pain Magnification, Memory Jar, Anvil of Bogardan, Ruby Leech, Andradite Leech, Steel Golem, Rust Elemental, Xathrid Demon, Vibrating Sphere, Colfenor's Plans

Also heads up Treacherous Blessing will get sacked as soon as you target it with Blim, but maybe you intend for that to happen? 3 cards for 3 is decent value after all.

Zedruu is always fun. It seems you’ve gone much nicer in terms of gifts than I went with my Zedruu, Giver of Chaos. Have you considered presents like Rust Elemental, Aggressive Mining or Steel Golem?

If you want to check out my Zedruu deck for some more inspiration, it’s based on giving out gifts and swapping permanents around the board, with 4 cards that are alternate wincon cards since Zedruu herself isn’t the best at winning games. (Laboratory Maniac/Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, Felidar Sovereign, Aetherflux Reservoir)

Yo, just wnated to point out that Jinxed Idol and Rust Elemental is absolute garbage in this deck becasue they enable your opponent to sacrifice your donations.

• In
• Dusk
• Solar Tide

• Slaughter the Strong Board wipes are moreso in for a safety precaution, but even when we use them, they're more of a one sided wipe.

• Out

• Magus of the Disk With more board wipes in, I just don't see a use for a delayed board wipe.
• Mausoleum Secrets I don't think there are enough black creature cards we can grab with this because of the Undergrowth effect, so it's getting cut.
• Assault Suit I just don't have a good creature to use this on. If I had something like Rust Elemental in the deck, it would be a different story.
