The OG commanders were the best!
Some cards worth considering:
Rainbow Vale > mountain
Humble Defector > plains
Treasure Nabber > your least favorite mana rock
Puca's Mischief > island
Perplexing Chimera > Mirrormade
Paradox Haze > Fraying Sanity
Political Trickery > The Locust God

Elephant Resurgence, Waiting in the Weeds, Greener Pastures, Grismold, the Dreadsower, Kamahl's Summons, Liege of the Hollows, Rite of the Raging Storm, and last but not least Rainbow Vale

Think about this one, Vampire Hexmage , Rainbow Vale . and the last thing is recursion.

Zedruu the Friendly

Thanks for the input NetholonTheArchmage! I've been trying to tack more towards low-cost ramp rather than lands since lands become a liability once Zedruu's card draw gets rolling - however, I agree that a few more lands would probably help at the start. Rainbow Vale in particular is a great suggestion since it's actively political and self-donating. Prairie Stream also looks like solid value for the price. The others I'm not sold on since they're a bit slow.
I'm still actively tweaking this deck; the description is out-of-date and missing some key info, so once I get a chance to playtest the latest changes I'll be giving it an overhaul.

A really nice deck you've put together here. I'm running a similar, politics-based Zedruu-deck aswell ( Zedruu, Enlightened Master), but i fear the budgetlevel is slightly different... so my props to you, for you seemingly have managed to build an absolutely playable budget Zedruu-deck with some very cool and unique strategies :) While you do have a very low CMC, i'd still probably run more lands, something between 35 to 37, as we're playing Jeskai and there aren't to many ways to ramp, so we need to rely on our landdrops... Some budget-additions might be: Nimbus Maze , Prairie Stream , Sejiri Refuge , Wind-Scarred Crag and the other life-lands. I'm also recommending Rainbow Vale as a very political card, that might be usefull by forging alliances... .
Whatsoever i'm pretty impressed with your decklist, upvote from me :)

Hippo "GroupHug"

Victory Chimes, Horn of Greed and Howling Mine all have a sort of 'huggy' feel to them. Regna's Sanction, Pir's Whim and Zndrsplt's Judgment can hug or hinder depending on the situation so can be important political tools. Rainbow Vale and Jace Beleren can also make you some friends and while it make take some work, Jace potentially can win via mill [that's a long game though...]. Arcane Denial, Beast Within and Rapid Hybridization could also fit the hug theme as it lets you stop something but leaves them something. You probably want to make sure you have some chance of stopping an opponent from running away with the game if you want a chance to enact your own strategy
None of these cards are super expensive [$5 or lower] as it looks like this deck is on the budget-ish side.
I might still try to fit a Sol Ring in as getting off ramp spells a turn earlier is nice if nothing else.

I have a similar build, but I have some cards you might find interesting.
Politics: Mathas, Fiend Seeker encourages reckless play. Xantcha, Sleeper Agent is another way as well, plus it gives a mana sink for the whole table to squander mana. I'm testing Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor and Krav, the Unredeemed. Oath of Lieges punishes Green ramp and helps the rest of the table catch up. Vizkopa Guildmage gives you a repeatable combat trick to reward opponents. Rainbow Vale is pretty much just like the Humble Defector of land cards. These are some carrots.
Teysa, Orzhov Scion gives a repeatable Vindicate and a deterrent to wraths. High Priest of Penance and Slumbering Dragon are two non-deathtouch rattlesnakes that deter attacks. Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim is a repeatable Vindicate, a rattlesnake and lifegain when you want it. Instigator really looks like fun.
Finishers: Undercity Informer...no one expects it. Helm of the Host...it may not finish a game outright, but it will do some crazy things. Predator Dragon...feed Drogon your extra token creatures and he'll handle the rest.
