Deck Description

This is my political masterminds EDH deck.

The idea is to just have an influence on everything that might happen on the board. For me playing a game in which I have had lots of influence is more important that actually winning.

This is absolutely a multi-player deck, politics with two players is hardly even a thing.

How to Play

So starting with the Commander Zedruu of course give you the possibility to give permanents to other players. Stealing and giving away permanents is the main theme of this deck. So stealing with (among others):
- Captivating Crew
- Dominus of Fealthy
- Roil Elemental
- Puca's Mischief
And then giving it away again with:
- Bazaar Trader
- Zedruu the Greathearted

This gives you the power to control the board and the balance of power. Make sure not to only benefit yourself with this or you'll be everyone's target. Keep everyone happy, while drawing cards and gaining life with Zedruu. In the meantime you basically want to be stalling the progress of the game and individual players. There is a card for every type of deck including cards like:
- Aggressive Mining
- Steel Golem
- Embargo
- Pyromancer's Swath

Now you can try to swing the balance of power in your favor to win the game. And if that doesn't work there is the possibility to win with some combo's like:
- Felidar Sovereign (...and Brion Stoutarm)
- Laboratory Maniac (...and Keening Stone)

Deck discussion for Zedruu political mastermind

I am working on this new political deck with Zedruu the Greathearted. I just really love this card and want to make a deck around it. This is what I have so far. I am looking to comments about which cards I might need to cut and some (very budget) suggestions to add. Maybe even more then that I am interested in a strategical analysis and where this deck needs to go from here.

Thnx in advance!
