Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"A spin on zedruu that incorporates Summoners Egg and some really bad ETB trigger cards to troll opponents. As there aren‘t that many positive exchange cards you‘ll have to trade lands and artifacts away to reach critical mass for life / cardgain.\n\nGeneral strategy: Play nice / standard (bad, but not too bad) Zedruu synergy cards until you can either gift someone a summoners egg with one of the bad 3 (Sky swallower, Eater of days, Leveler) inside or bring them in for yourself (while countering the ETB trigger), so you can give everybody a copy with fractured identity later.\n\nA little less viable for continuous play than other zedruu decks, as you pod will likely catch on after the first two times you gift one of them a summoners egg with leveler inside. But I would anyway not suggest this for frequent play if you like to have friends…\n"}]}
