Zedruu's Half Eaten Sandwich

Commander / EDH

SailorMeff


Chaos Zedruu based on tstorm823's lovingly cultivated deck with a dizzying array of variable win conditions. I hope you like it and if you do, give it an upvote. This version of Zedruu is meant to be strong but never oppressive. That said, the deck is very, very strong.

The deck is a work in progress so feedback is welcome.

Step 1:

Draw a LOT of cards. Open your hand with a Howling Mine effect whenever possible. Dictate of Kruphix is great for getting the the first extra card on the table but Temple Bell and Mikokoro will help get the job done too.

Step 2:

Create enough resources that everyone is on the verge of popping off. Play cards like Oath of Lieges and Font of Mythos , donate them with Zedruu the Greathearted and consider duplicating them with Copy Enchantment or Clever Impersonator .

Step 3:

Slow down. You should be drawing a lot of cards but so is everyone else so it's time to cool the waters. Help the table manage threats while building up your own combos by playing cards like Rest in Peace or Vanish into Memory. Alternatively, prepare to survive damage threats by building up a big pool of life with Drogskol Reaver, Zedruu the Greathearted and Alhammarret's Archive.

Just make sure you don't kill yourself with that last one.

Step 4:

Luck sack your way into a combo. Consider the following:

Aetherflux Reservoir + Drogskol Reaver + Illusions of Grandeur

Dissipation Field + Memnite + Warstorm Surge

Forced Fruition + Fractured Identity + Thought Reflection

Furnace of Rath + Mirrorweave + Opalescence

It was only one game, but I did swap out Paradox Engine for Unwinding Clock and then also removed Temporal Mastery and replaced it with a Gilded Drake.

Unwinding Clock felt like a good replacement - enables a lot of mana spending but with caveats and it pairs wonderfully with Vedalken Orrery and Leyline of Anticipation to dump effects onto the table leading up to a really explosive turn without the feeling of abuse present with Paradox Engine.

Gilded Drake didn't see play and Opalescence + Parallax Wave is too good so I'm still considering that slot for now.
