NetholonTheArchmage on Zedruu - The Path to Enlightenment [PRIMER]

@ bushido_man96 , I'm currently working on a major update to this primer - Nine Lives has made it into the decklist and allows for some nice shenanigans...

I always found the Delusions of Mediocrity to cost-intensive for a drainfor10-effect, yet I would consider it in a budget-list!

@ gozzi26 , You're absolutely right with that. I don't know how we could miss this all this time... Seems like neither I nor my opponents bothered to read the card correctly :D I'll make sure to change that within the next update!

The new Nine Lives would be a fun way to eliminate an opponent. Delusions of Mediocrity is another big-life-swing enchantment.

Another couple cards! Backlash, Cinder Cloud, Choking Vines, Wheel of Fortune, Sylvan Library, Dazzling Beauty, Delirium, Disempower, Erratic Mutation, Essence Vortex, Feint, Fire Covenant, Glyph of Reincarnation, Hail Storm, Harmonic Convergence, Imps' Taunt, Lammastide Weave, Lava Storm, Long-Term Plans, Mages' Contest, Mask of the Mimic, Misinformation, Natural Selection, Outmaneuver, Psychic Barrier, Sandstorm, Scout's Warning, Seedtime, Shaman's Trance, Silhouette, Simulacrum, Siren's Call, Spore Cloud, Squall Line, Suffocation, Surge of Strength, Telim'Tor's Edict, Three Wishes, Thunderheads, Tidal Wave, Trailblazer, Transmutation, Vapor Snag, Venarian Glimmer, Warpath (and probably every other red card that cares about attacking and blocking creatures, some research needs to be done); Winter's Chill, Word of Command (maybe?) Augury Adept (more like a bend and a "small" one since it's actually white too. Still, being a possible monoblue card that gains life, might still be considered for the list). Same for Balefire Liege and Selkie Hedge-Mage. Collapsing Borders, Delusions of Mediocrity, Illusions of Grandeur, Game of Chaos, Merchant Ship, Relic Bind

Illusions of Grandeur and Delusions of Mediocrity are solid inclusions.

Morality Shift is often vastly underrated and almost no one seems to know about it. If you want it to be lethal without having to swing you could add Delusions of Mediocrity or Illusions of Grandeur and just sit back and watch the fireworks.

It may not be regarded as cheap, but Alhammarret's Archive is kind of a staple for this commander.

Vedalken Plotter will get you some nice lands... Emeria, The Sky Ruin or Homeward Path perhaps.

Illusions of Grandeur is nice; then there's the cheaper Delusions of Mediocrity.

Statecraft for those pesky creature decks.

Here's my version; I had a lot of fun running:

kamelyan on Zedruu, humble gifter

For the same reason you have Felidar Sovereign and Aetherflux Reservoir, I think cut Transcendence. In most cases, you would lose as soon as you play it. Delusions of Mediocrity and Illusions of Grandeur work with the life gain, and they hurt your opponents when gifted.

I made a Zedruu deck a while back. Please check it out, and give it an upvote if you'd like.
