Strategy

The "Zaxara, the Exemplary" deck in Commander focuses on generating huge amounts of mana and creating powerful X cost hydras to overwhelm opponents. The deck aims to ramp up quickly using cards like Sol Ring, Rampant Growth, and Cultivate to get ahead on mana. Zaxara, the Exemplary acts as a mana generator and allows you to create big hydras by doubling up their counters. Some of the good points of the deck include its ability to generate massive hydras using X cost spells like Hungering Hydra and Hydroid Krasis. It can quickly establish a dominant board presence and put pressure on opponents. Cards like Unbound Flourishing and Elementalist's Palette can further enhance the deck's ability to multiply the effects of X cost spells. However, the deck can be vulnerable to board wipes and removal spells that can disrupt your strategy. It may also struggle against decks that focus on fast aggression, as it can take some time to set up its mana base and start deploying threats. Overall, the "Zaxara, the Exemplary" deck offers a fun and powerful strategy that can lead to explosive turns and impressive hydras dominating the battlefield, making it a thrilling choice for Commander games.
