Zaxara, the Exemplary Expensive Upgrades | EDH Deck Tech

[@blacfiberx7x]

Dude, what an awesome deck tech. I think I have to give it a go. Love your delivery btw. Cheers

[@MTGAlpha]

Thank you for checking it out! :D

[@Kaador]

My own is essentially the same BUT i have many (many) copie things in it and all doublers. Im glad to see there is some who loves Zaxara as much as I do. Nice man

[@Kaador]

Ahjo, Try Fangorn and Nissa (the 5 mana, doubles forest one) and I like Yorvo in this deck but he is one of my all time faves and doesnt fit too much ^^ And I like , sorry its german : Schillernder Aaskäfer and Gallopierender Echsenfrosch in it too. Grüße ^^

[@MTGAlpha]

Love Zaxara. It’s my top 3 and forces me to play blue in a way that I like :)

[@MTGAlpha]

Thank you for the love from Germany!! Is your version a mostly green version?

[@Kaador]

exept mana ca: green 50% blue 35% black 15% PS: Your second combo-condition should be in my opinion Pemmins Aura - its just like Freed from the Real :) @@MTGAlpha

[@Kaador]

exactly :) When Zaxx is protected its OP Lijana See of Mirrors (or so in engl) is a good copie-land for one-time save f.e. Edit: But for many of thet copy-stuff I need that legendary-neglation case in german it names as: Spiegelkasten @@MTGAlpha

[@Mefirot]

Very useful upgrade. Just an advicem check out your camera, because some cards didn't show off their names. Thanks!

[@MTGAlpha]

Thank you!

[@SamChaneyProductions]

I would note that Pemmin's Aura does the exact same thing as Freed From the Real so its basically a copy. Also in the long time I've been playing with this commander, I've found that more interaction X spells is far better than creature X cards like hydras. The only exception to that is don't use many X cost counterspells, as they are too expensive and it feels bad to have to hold up so much mana

[@MTGAlpha]

Absolutely! I would put it in to make the deck more competitive, but people are already afraid of Zaxara 😁

[@ncross869]

Definitely a good idea to run something like Serene Sunset to prevent all combat damage from target X creatures this turn or Spore frog for more blanket combat damage protection

[@MTGAlpha]

I love the idea of adding Serene Sunset. It synergizes well

[@GunDam152]

Pemmines aura is another really good infinite mana combo with zex

[@MTGAlpha]

I'd love to grab a copy before it goes up in price especially

[@solipsist3D]

Would tribute to the world tree actually work in this deck? Zaxara says the 0/0 is created ‘then’ add X 1/1 counters. So it etbs as a 0/0 and wouldn’t trigger it right?

[@MTGAlpha]

Yeah, you're right! I ended up swapping it out later on

[@JohanXDash]

Draw Effects like tribute to the world tree and elemental bond don't work with zaxara unfortunately because the tokens enter as 0/0 creatures as a state based action

[@MTGAlpha]

Good point. Yeah the token's would be unaffected. I'm actually studying the comprehensive rules right now too :D

[@JohanXDash]

@@MTGAlpha just wanted to point it out, I had to be told similarly when I put together my own deck 😅😅 happy brewing 👌🏿

[@babaXIII]

This is the type of rules that thoroughly wrecked my Ivy and Adrix deck. I thought you could double the tokens from Ivy but nooooope

[@JohanXDash]

@@babaXIII yeaaa , she copies spells and the spells that are permanents are tokens. But she doesn't create tokens so it doesn't work 🥲

[@Ruined_Vigil]

Hey, Im probably a bit late but what would you recommend to build a more budget version of this? Ive only really about 300 aud to put towards the deck so it would be appreciated if you could recommend a budget version of this or where would I go to find a budget version to upgrade later?

[@MTGAlpha]

I can do a budget version! It's so strong, so you can easily go budget

[@MTGAlpha]

Here's my budget decklist TCG link and Moxfield tinyurl.com/rvyyw72x www.moxfield.com/decks/lyvYKp1fZku8HojJ0lJs7A

[@Ruined_Vigil]

@MTGAlpha That would be amazing 🙏. There's so many good cards to include that I'm having a hard time deciding which ones of the more expensive cards I should keep and which ones I can live without hahah

[@Ruined_Vigil]

@MTGAlpha thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Though out of curio, if you could add Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider and Torment of Hailfire what would you swap out for them? I also have Nyxbloom Ancient as well so would that be worth putting in too?

[@MTGAlpha]

@@Ruined_Vigil I'd take out Icy Blast, Gargos, and maybe Koma (kind of just a pet card)

[@Kaador]

Can we copy hort of hydra with unbound flourishing since its cated as a sorcery? ^.^"
