What are some of the best cards with drawbacks (such as Steel Golem) that Zedruu the Greathearted can donate to someone?

Statecraft was always a favorite of mine to give away, if you're feeling at all like a pillowfort

Celestial Dawn locks out nonwhite decks (they can't produce 
)
Grid Monitor for redundancy

Grid Monitor & Rust Elemental would be good. Maybe even Jinxed Idol and Jinxed Ring if you can get rid of the first prior to your next upkeep.

Pyromancer's Swath can also be pretty mean. Just don't give it to a 
mage.

Oops, well thank you! sweat drop
My all-time favorite is probably Thought Lash for that purpose, but Steel Golem, Grid Monitor, Celestial Dawn, and Pyromancer's Swath are all solid. I'm still on the fence about Aggressive Mining, but it's probably much better than it looks!

Honestly although those are hilarious, I always thought her real strength could be in trickery chaos. Both and 
have steal tricks, and chaos tricks, that can seriously mess up decks by stealing key combo pieces and handing them off to people who can't use them. Not to mention the restriction tricks and chaotic all board pieces that can be easily passed around.

Donating Lich's Tomb to someone right as they're about to take 5 or 10 damage is pretty devastating.
