[EDH] Zedruu Control

[boneclub24]

This is an updated version of my old Zedruu deck. It has a bit of an enchantment theme, and I'm hoping to eventually get some of the more powerful enchantment support (Replenish and the like). However, right now I'm sort of restrained due to saving money for next gen consoles haha

Anyway, I'm playing Zedruu as more of a control general than group hug. I use her to give away universal effects (various Orbs), things that don't matter who controls them (O-Ring and the like), or harmful effects (Illusions, etc) and garnish extra draws from her.

I just picked up the sealed deck from ebay without the oversized cards. It looks to be pretty decent as a starting point but I think it will take a bit of work to make competitive. I was also kind of thinking about taking my list on an enchantment and control oriented slant. We have a weekly league out my way. I need to get some games in with the stock list and then start dialing it in. Here is a rough sketch of what I was thinking about working towards.

Path to Exile
Swords to Plowshares
Sol Ring
Bazaar Trader
Gilded Drake
Jotan Grunt
Journey to Nowhere
Loxodon Peacekeeper

I would love to hear thoughts and comments. I have been kind of back and forth between being a creature manipulation build versus an enchantment build... So I guess I am in the middle right now and will playtest a bit to figure out which I prefer. Or possible additions that I should make. Thanks!
