Replaced Horribly Awry for Walking Atlas. Turns out that repeatable ramp is good outside of green.

This is a really cool take on zedruu and I like how u have discovered a way to make an unmanascrewable (is that a word?) Deck. This list honestly looks realy fun too play and Ill probably build a similar version. While researching zedruu as a commander I have never once thought of giving away lands, so bravo to you good sir. Because I dont care much about having an optimized deck, I'll probably run a few gifts, just for some more friendly interection before I blow up all their stuff with a wrath. I'm also thinking about running some group hug or political type affects early game so people think I am not a threat and just a typical zedruu deck, then after a few turns show my true garbage control player identity. Do you have any fun, early political cards that might work in this deck? I have been playing magic for a few years but just got into commander a few months ago and and don't know a lot of older cards, especially niche ones like politics cards. Cool deck man, and thanks for the in depth primer

Thoughts on Walking Atlas in this deck? With all the can trips and draw it might be worth it to ramp quickly for a few turns

The only reason Walking Atlas isn't on the deck is because I had forgotten it existed, Shammies25.

As for political candy, I recommend Humble Defector, Duelist's Heritage, and if you're feeling particularly generous, Howling Mine effects. But usually you can play the good guy by giving lands to the mana screwed. Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer goes well with this playstyle. Walking Archive is a decent gift too, especially if you can convince the giftee to invest mana into it.
