I'm looking for at least thirty nasty cards to donate with Zedruu the Greathearted and these are what I have so far:

1) Statecraft2) Humility3) Transcendence4) Aggressive Mining5) Cinder Giant6) Lich's Tomb7) Pyromancer's Swath8) Celestial Dawn9) Thought Lash10) Delusions of Mediocrity11) Illusions of Grandeur12) Crown of Doom13) Rust Elemental14) Bronze Bombshell15) Jinxed Idol16) Grid Monitor17) Steel Golem18) Taniwha19) Moat

I definitely intend to put some copy enchantment/artifact cards in there, too but I want to see what else is out there first.

Thanks, those are some awesome suggestions!

Any list without Illusions of Grandeur is wrong.

And I missed it, disregard that.

Reread Humility. It affects all creatures. No need to donate it.

Lich's Tomb isn't a good card for Zedruu since it will most definitely get sacrificed the moment the guy you gave it to loses life.

Good point, thanks for the advice.

Try Akroan Horse, Bottled Cloister or look at the cards in my Zedruu deck. lol

Same for Moat and Magus of the Moat, since there's no point in donating either of them.

This thread makes me giddy. And Grid Monitor.

Note that Celestial Dawn no longer works the way you think it does. Due to recent rule changes a player may now add mana to his mana pool of any color, not just the colors within his general's color identity. I'm on mobile so i won't post a link to the rule changes, just google it.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.
