Commander: altered Zedruu the Greathearted

Zedruu's bizarre bazaar of wonders! My 'flagship' deck and probably the one deck I've put the most time and money into.

Jeskai being as low on ramp as it is, early game can be pretty slow and uneventful.

Turn 1-2 Low drop removal such as Curse of the Swine, Darksteel Mutation, or Swords to Plowshares deal with over-egar commanders like Skullbrier.

Turn 2-3 general mitigation via Meekstone, Smoke and Righteous Aura will let you sit comfortably into turn 5. If anything particularly ugly shows up drop Pithing Needle or Oblivion Ring.

Once turn 4-5 roll around you can drop Guard Gomazoa, Statecraft, or Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant to turn your support creatures into a pillow fort against any beefy beat-down.

By Turn 5-6 you should have Zedruu out to start drawing cards. Hand out that Oblivion Ring, Smoke, Meekstone, or if you're particularly mean, have your opponent hold his own Pithing Needle. By this point you should be drawing into your real power.

Win Cons:

Thought Lash has two win-cons. 1st is the slow drip of eating your opponent's library. It's less feasible but you have the potential to remove a few bombs. The second is to eat your own library into Laboratory Maniac.

Dominus of Fealty + Bazaar Trader, pull something from your opponent in your upkeep temporarily, then use the Trader to give it to yourself. The new permanent control condition supersedes the first temporary one, and it's yours for keeps.

Guilty Conscience + Stuffy Doll to flat out kill one player, or Swans of Bryn Argoll to draw yourself out instantly with Laboratory Maniac.

Venser, the Sojourner + Illusions of Grandeur/Delusions of Mediocrity for heavy a handed burn/life gain combo, or Avarice Totem to straight up steal from your opponent.

If you can keep Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite for even one full turn you honestly should have game.

Honorable Mentions

Hundred-Handed One is one of my favorite creatures for flavor sake. When enchanted with Heart of Light he becomes an impassable 100 handed Buddha. Heart of Light also functions as a response to Aggro.

Phyrexian Metamorph, Quicksilver Elemental, and Sakashima the Impostor are used to weild the opponents commander or win-con against them.

Ephara, God of the Polis + Trading Post and Kher Keep provide cheap and constant card draw as well as a supply of donation fodder.
