Zedruu the Greathearted

Zedruu the Greathearted Commander Deck

Zedruu the Greathearted fuels this deck's engine by donating permanents to opponents and converting that generosity into massive life gain and card draw each upkeep. The deck gifts opponents "cursed" permanents — things that lock them out of drawing cards, restrict their hand size, deal them damage, or force them to lose life — using cards like Illusions of Grandeur and Transcendence as high-value donations that punish whoever holds them. The deck wins by burying opponents in card advantage, depleting their life totals through donated liabilities, and using pillowfort effects like taxes and fogs to survive long enough for those curses to finish the job.
