Zedruu Give and Take

casual multiplayer fun

How to play

We like to keep a hand with four playable mana sources (e.g. three lands and a rock). Next we cast Zedruu asap and (hold) some protection.

Once our commander is in play we have several ways to get our permanents under our opponents control:

• Donate with Zedruu or Bazaar Trader
• Exchange with Role Reversal etc.
• By itself like Humble Defector or Pendant of Prosperity

Basic lands are perfect gifts to donate in the early and mid-game. Besides cards like Humble Defector, Pendant of Prosperity and Jace Beleren this is our way to hug the group and enable all the decks at the table.

When everybody at the table has a stable mana base and/or we can‘t spent more lands, we can donate some permanents which don‘t affect the board state. Therefore some of the usual Removal and Protection based on Instants or Equipments is replaced by Enchantments. E.g. Clout of the Dominus instead of Lightning Greaves or Darksteel Mutation instead of Path to Exile . We can donate these Enchantments to our opponents with Zedruu for additional life gain and card draw without loosing their effects.

How to survive

Since all the decks at the table perform very well due to the mana and card draw we made available, we have to keep our head down. These cards help us to survive the crazy mid- to late game:

• Solitary Confinement
• Maze of Ith / Kor Haven
• Propaganda / Ghostly Prison
• Statecraft

How to win

The deck isn‘t optimized for a high win rate. But of course there are some ways the finish one or more opponents in the late game:

• Illusions of Grandeur
• Resurrection
• Aetherflux Reservoir
