New Year Additions —Jan. 14, 2019
I recently managed to put my hands on a Plateau aswell as a Tundra , booth of which made the way into the deck straight away, sorting out the Clifftop Retreat and the Glacial Fortress . I also switched out my Mystifying Maze with a Kor Haven , which just seems to have a lower activation cost... Sadly also my Teferi's Puzzlebox had to go to make place for my new Venser, the Sojourner , who makes a perfect addition to every Zedruu-deck. Finally i had to put out the Spectral Searchlight , with Bitter Feud taking it's place. The searchlight had to go because i didn't use it the way i wanted to, as i always kept using it for my own purposes, while i initially wanted to use it for politics. The Feud on the other side is a very political card i'm enjoying a lot (you can also choose new targets by using venser/ capsize to blink it). Please let me know what you think about the new editions. I'm wishing everyone a happy new year and fun building and playing their decks :)

@ chilbi Thank you for your upvote aswell :) The main purpose for the Enchanted Evening is to collaborate with the Serra's Sanctum as a way to give you plenty of mana. The wincons in this deck are, let's say rather unique and often require you to have a rather large mana pool, having 20+ white mana due to all your permanents being enchantments helps a lot here. On the other side it works very well with Greater Auramancy, giving all your permanents shroud and protecting your bordstate. I had Copy Enchantment in the deck for a long time aswell to tighten the "lock" even more, the Auramancy turned out to be enough on it's own though... Finally there's a wincon built arround the Evening too: Play the Enchanted Evening, then play Austere Command to wipe the board of all permanents. Be sure to have enough mana in your pool to cast Faith's Reward after the spell resolves to rebuild your entire board instant speed. This of course leaves you with your entire lategame board, while everyone else has nothing left... winning should be easy from here on :D I hope this explains everything :)

Edit: Enchanted Evening works also quite well with the Sphere of Safety making it rather "costly" to attack you ;)

Alles klar, Serra's Sanktum hab ich tatsächlich übersehen. Dann mal viel Erfolg! ;)

I dig it, one of the funner and well built versions of zedruu I've ever seen.

Honestly I'm not even sure what to suggest. While it may not be cEDH (which is what I love btw), it seems really fun to play and very tuned.
I'm just going to suggest Insidious Will because it is one of my favorite cards.

@ Inkmoth_
I'm glad you like it, I wanted it to be something different than the usual approach on the goat-lady. The deck should be able to do some very weird, unexpectable things, while still being conducive for the overall gameplan :)
Insidious Will is an amazing card to be sure, but I wanted to cut out as many counterspells as possible, while only keeping the white & red ones which may be used by Sunforger . Of course Insidious Will is able to do a lot of other amazing things but because of lacking the Sunforger-Requirements it just didn't make the cut. I definitely need to put this card in my Niv Mizzet Firemind -deck though! I don't know why it isn't in there yet...

Nice start here + thanks for the upvote on my Zetruu build. Could you explain the Enchanted Evening please? I just don't see the synergy right now. Cheers!
