Zedruu Deck. Basically, play nice and be everyones friend until you draw into one of the win-cons and abruptly win the game.

Look, I recognize that Celestial Dawn is a great lock for you opponents with this deck. However, I try to avoid playing cards that might as well read "target player cant play magic" and this deck is keyed for a more casual playgroup.

Some bad gift options are Aggressive Mining , Goldnight Castigator , Pyromancer's Swath , Embargo , Illusions of Grandeur , Rust Elemental , Steel Golem , Grid Monitor , and Thought Lash .

I do run Illusions of Grandeur for the 20 life swing (in case i need it to get over 40/50 life). If playtesting shows i dont really need it for that purpose then i plan on taking it out.

Early playtesting has shown i need more mana acceleration/ ways to cheat things into play to keep up with my card draw

Add Orzhov Advokist and Reward the Faithful?
