Zaxara is fun when you play it straight, but literally every other Zaxara game is just "I tutor up Freed From The Real, enchant Zaxara, now I have infinite mana, GG".
@@xFreSh999_Really hope they add a rule where you can only repeat a combo once or twice. Keep it as a strong trick, but don't make it a 'if it goes off once, youbetter have one of these normally D-tier cards top decked, or you just lost.'
My current project is a Saskia, The Unyielding deck where the goal is to select myself as the target and get out Darien, King of Kjeldor as the surprise commander. Turns out when you make Darien 4 colours, ramp into him and give him a free consistent source of huge damage he's absolutely nuts.
@@HeraldOfOpera free from the real makes all of them redundant. Plus with how it works, your opponents only have one opportunity to stop you, then you funnel that infinite mana into things like exsanguinate or walking ballista.
One of my favorite tribal decks because suddenly getting to turn a bunch of janky X spells into "And now this also makes a beefy body" is a lot of fun. But having to break out a whole dice cube to play was a pain in the ass.
I saw the card and instantly though "you're telling me, that this card turns blue sun's zenith (my 2nd favourite card) into hydroid krasis (my favourite card), count me the fuck in"
A lot of Hydras are also X Spells (fits the theme, I guess) so you can definitely run it with a bunch of X cost hydras plus the usual X spell culprits.
As an avid Zaxara player, I can confirm this man did not say a single lie. Only thing missed was that it will gain all of the mana and draw all of the cards and make all of the hydras
Would love to see one of Brenard, Ginger Sculptor. Its so much fun to have a humble baker leading an unstoppable army of phyrexian golems, and turning the splicers into gingerbread men
Throw a Brawn in the deck, like I did, since some hydras don't naturally have Trample. Literally use Brawn as a chump blocker or let yourself discard it somehow; but this has black and blue in its cost, meaning it really isn't hard to do this. Only requirements are that it stays there and you have a Forest
Big fan of your content: I request my current favorite commander- Gutmorn, pactbound servant. The very best at 'I promise it's fair see you get one of my cards too psych, discard your hand. Now everything is my cards'
So, one issue: it isn’t when you use that mana you make a hydra, it’s when you cast a spell with an X cost in general. No need for you to use the mana from the commander for the hydra. With proper ramp, you can make several a turn
Awesome video, I've yet to make a Zaxara deck, but, after your glowing review, one day I will. 😹 Day 12 of asking for a review of Zhulodok, Void Gorger; Gandalf, Westward Voyager and Magus Lucea Kane. Also, Lucea Kane is like Zaxara, but Temur and therefore better, because I want to play Shivan Devastator and Winged Hive Tyrant 😹
The coolest zaxara deck I played was one that never actually paid more than 0. If you play something like Walking balista for 0, zaxara makes a 0/0 token that dies, and then the balista dies. It also turns out that there are loads of cards that reanimate 0 power 0-1 CMC creatures, so you can pay 0-1 mana to make 2 things that die, so you play X=0 aristocrats. Post mortem lunge even let's you pay 0 mana to make a 0/0, then reanimate a 0/0 that dies. Super fucking cool deck
I have been watching you for a week thank you algorithm, thank you. Anyways I have been enjoying the content greatly we all appreciate it. And this one was absolutely hilarious. Prob my fav so far... Omw to watch all of your content now. Subbed for sure And dear God please don't make me ask for yuriko 100x... Because I very well might... Please please will you do a Yuriko... Please sir do a Yuriko. Ask me about my Yuriko tattoo
I have a X spell Zaxara deck that just uses Pemmin's Aura/ Freed From the real to make infinite mana and dome people with Mind Scour after drawing my library. Great times! :D
Can’t forget the ability to make infinite mana with freed from the reel or pemmin’s aura, gotta love a two card combo where one of those cards is in your command zone
This pales in comparison to Lucea Kane. The interaction of red/blue, doubling everything, and untapping her through various schemes to copy the next spell a hundred times.
Oh dont worry, the mana can also be doubled. Also look up castle garenberg (or whatever its called, green land), literally lets you turn 4 mana into 18 with nyxbloom
MY Zaxara deck only had like, 4 other Hydras in it. I run cards like Mind Spring and Blue Sun's, Villainous Wealth, Exsanguinate, Strength of the Tjuru...
Mass Manipulation would be down right _evil_ in this deck. XX and 3 blue, take control of 1 creature per XX you pay, and pump out Hydra tokens. You even have the ramp to make it good.
As a Zaxara player I can say that I have only ever won once by swing out with an army of hydra. They normally just sit there and block since they don't have trample and just turbo charge Selvala so I can mind grind and exsanguinate my opponents out. Also since the tokens enter as 0/0 then get counters they don't trigger cards like Kiora, behemoth beckoner and garruk's uprising.
I uh... yeah uh... Tbh I wish Zaxara decks played like this. I see Zaxara and the only card I can think of is Freed from the Reel and there is nothing they are doing but comboing your face off. One big stompy card would be something that made me happy to see.
"The only thing not doubled will be the mana, *THAT WILL BE TRIPLED* "
And if you are playing red/green you can triple mana and instant/sorcery damage. Making X a very very dangerous aspect of a spell card
@@jennaherman3859 Fortunately, Zaxara is pointedly in blue instead of red even though this frankly makes no sense with the abilities.
Fuck it WUBRG
@@HeraldOfOpera if they are not the commander. Well then you have more trouble. *looks at Ramos and morphon*
@@jennaherman3859you need to try Lucia Kane
As a Zaxara lover I didn't find a single lie or overly dramatic word in this video
Except the last part
100% accurate... I love my Xaxara deck don't judge me....
Not wrong. But since I'm not all monster, I just pillow fort with 10/10 Hydra tokens just to cast a giant X spell like Torment of hellfire....😅
Same tbh
I love x counter spells on this deck. Ain't nothing like untapping 50+ mana and passing turn

Don't forget how much mana you're gonna get from a single gaias cradle to make, you guessed it, EVEN MORE HYDRAS AND +1 +1 COUNTERS
How fortunate that Zaxara enables you to go wide AND tall at the same time.
Too bad cradle ain’t even a real card. Just a glorified proxy of a card that doesn’t even exist.
That card is so expensive lol

Reason number 1354 on why infinite combos are lame and are played by man babies and neck beards.
I run Freed From The Real, but my only tutor is Emergent Ultimatum. It's in there because games have to end.
Pemmin's Aura ALSO works...
and can give it shroud....
or flying.....
or fiddle with it's stats a bit if someone tries to throw a burn spell at it.^^
I have Freed in my deck but use no tutors, I use it as a backup and prefer to stomp people with hydras

Zaxara seems great! Just adding it to the list of concepts I want to build a deck around…
Its a fun card to play with my deck is a hybrid of x spells/abilities and hydra tribal.
@@cread13same bro. Got myself an unbound flourishing and primal vigor in that bih. When it goes, it goes hard
IT IS MY WINCON COMMANDER and benefits from freed from the real and pemmins aura

The funny thing is that I built my Zaxara deck not as a hydra deck but an X spell deck and yet I still have nearly all the cards shown here.
The hydra singularity theory

Gen. Wave
Chord of calling
