Greetings! I am looking to improve my deck and opinions are greatly appreciated. Currently my deck does very well in single player and multiplayer. Alot of my cards are meant to troll people and slow them down until either I end them for quickly or they kill themselves. This deck is very situational. Zedruu is gaving away gridmonitor, steel golem, bronze bombshell, delusions of mediocrity and illusions of grandeur. Don't worry about getting hit because later you can give away transcendence and auto kill an opponent if below 20. If Venser is out, I am bouncing the 2 enchants for alot of health. Other combo's include price of glory and mana short to destroy all untapped land an opponent has. Intruder alarm + splinter twin= infinite of any monster you want. Really all of these are cards are really just trolling people until they finally pull out all the stops, bring all their best they have and then i play insurrection or reigns of power and then mow them over with their stuff. Have killed a game of 5 people with Psychosis Crawler and Trade secrets. So many silly things to done. Any suggestions would be great! thanks! See sideboard for other good cards that i wanted but the others are too important UPDATE***- Apparently you cannot play Mana Short with Price of Glory to destroy their lands. Price of Glory says whenever a player taps land and Mana Short is tapping the lands, not making a player tap their lands. It's unfortunate and I will take out Mana Short now but Price of Glory is still awesome. UPDATE 2**- Added Mycosynth Lattice for extra fun. Play that with Vandalblast and enjoy everyone's jaw dropped by them having a lovely open field but you still seem to have yours untouched. Played something earlier today. Played a few cards earlier that aren't in deck but possibly should. Played Noble Benefactor (putting in sideboard) and killed so everyone could look for any card they wanted for free! yay me right? than I followed it up with Reforge the Soul and made everyone discard their hands. Hearty laughs from me.

Taniwha is a must for a mean Zedruu build. Nothing stalls someone out better than having their mana base removed every other turn in exchange for what is effectively a 3.5/7 that cannot attack you since they won't have 2 mana for propaganda. Paradox Haze is a must for any upkeep shenanegans deck. Draw 2x and gain 2x life makes it worth it alone. Triggering the cumulative upkeep on Illusions of Granduer twice then donating it in response to the second upkeep trigger so the opponent has to pay 6+ on their first upkeep makes it even better. Bronze Bombshell is rather underwhelming IMO. You spend 7 mana (unless you also have Bazaar Trader which is unlikely to come up often) to deal 7 damage one time. It paints a target on you and doesn't hurt that much overall. It's much harder to set up and only costs one less mana than a fireball for 7. Something like Iron Maiden type effects would be better since you're keeping people from doing things and they'll constantly be taking smaller hits that won't put you quite as high on their radar right away. Without Proliferate, the Elocutors are not going to make it to 5 counters before eating a board wipe or spot removal. It's too easy to just lightning bolt you to keep the counters off. Pathrazer in your sideboard is bad, why would you want that over one of the Eldrazi Titans that actually do something when you cast them and refills your library when they die? (along with being huge annihilators which is all the Pathrazer is good for) You're running a lot of enchantments. Sphere of Safety might be a good option to go along with the propaganda effects. Norn's Annex would also be a good option since it would make most players pay 2 life to attack you. Intruder Alarm is very risky to play as it will allow other players the potential to easily combo off as well as helping your own combo. Since you can't tutor for the pieces, it would be better to replace that with Kiki Jiki. He does the same as Splinter Twin but is strong on his own. He also combos with Zealous Conscripts which would also be good for this type of deck allowing you to steal something from someone and then give it to someone else. ...or just adding in the other kiki combo pieces such as Pestermite or Deceiver Exarch. I would suggest rule of law/arcane laboratory to go along with the rest of your troll effects. On your turn, you can Venser them, play all you want, then it comes back at end of turn to haunt them again. Pull from Eternity would be good to use with Thought Lash for a few turns in case something relevant gets exiled. Once it gets too painful to use, or once you've exiled your combo piece. You can just donate it and screw over your opponent with it. while you pull the combo piece back and recur it. What's with the Glamerdye and Mind Bend? You don't have anything in your deck that even mentions a color or basic land type that I can see. Whim of Volrath would be a better option for this effect but I don't understand the purpose of it to begin with since it has nothing to do with anything in your deck. It must be meta dependant but two of those effects seems excessive when they aren't actually useful to the deck you're playing.

I am in complete agreement with you. Eleocutors, Glamerdye and Mind Bend were pretty random choices for my deck. Just thinking of ways to troll people more. I also agree that Bronze bombshell is not that good. I greatly apreciate the advice. The Intruder Alarm I do admit is very risky. I agree with replacing the Splinter Twin but although there are many cards I desperately want, one thing you may notice is my deck is fairly cheap. I most of this deck in the Political Puppets theme commander deck for about $40 and modified it from there. I am very cheap with the game so investing 20 dollars in the single card is just too expensive for me. Thank you so much for the advice!
Nice Build , What about a board wipe if you get stuck ! I just made this EDH deck Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=401828
Honestly, with the board wipes that happen they really don't bother me. All my important cards are not wipeable. The only way my deck truly shut down is if Zedruu gets shuffled into my deck. Then it 100% trololo time because I can't guarantee giving stuff away unless i get bazaar trader out. Most of the time, everyone ramps up big and then I steal all of them with insurrection and kill the biggest threats at the table.
