I like helping people, Zedruu the Greathearted likes helping people, but this deck may also be able to win by crippling opponents, or Psychosis Crawler!!

This deck is a work-in-progress, but the basic idea is to draw cards, and give away "bad cards" such as Aggressive Mining, Rust Elemental, Crown of Doom, Illusions of Grandeur etc, and ruin your opponent's day.

Note- My EDH group plays very casual, therefore this is in no way a competitive deck. Also, we typically do Two-headed Dragon (2v2), or Three-headed Hydra (3v3, one "leader" in the center and two "guards" flanking him, kill the leader, your team wins etc. etc.)

Question- I am considering Transcendence as a "gift" but when it enters the battlefield under my control, if my life was over 20, I would instantly lose, without a chance to use Zedruu's ability? or can I target the card with it in response to it entering the battlefield and give it to an opponent as it enters the battlefield? I am very unsure.
