Breakdown

Win Con's:

1. So the easy one is Laboratory Manica, people see it coming a mile away and it does the trick
2. Rhonas the Indomitable and 1 other creature and all the mana works too
3. Experiment Kraj + Horseshoe Crab + Selvala, Heart of the Wilds is the infernal mana combo Thornling can protect Kraj if needed

Synergistic cards:

Setup

1. Master Biomancer
2. Experiment One
3. Reef Worm
4. Fathom Mage
5. Gyre Sage

Payoff

1. Prime Speaker Zegana
2. The Great Henge
3. Ghalta, Primal Hunger
4. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
5. Zegana, Utopian Speaker
6. Give / Take

Prime Speaker Zegana works best with high power creatures so Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle are the highest power creatures in the deck and can be played/awoken on the same turn you want to play Prime Speaker Zegana Kefnet the Mindful and Rhonas the Indomitable, who are hard to remove and come out really early make for a fair way to draw at least 6 cards any time you cast Prime Speaker Zegana

Flavor {GU}

Welcome come thought our Simic Guildgate and let me show you around my name is Zegana, Utopian Speaker I used to be known as Prime Speaker Zegana however I have evolved to a new roll in the Guild. I see you don’t have any extra limes, or wings or even a tail too bad. But don’t worry our Master Biomancer and Simic Manipulator will fix that! They are currently working to recreate the Experiment Kraj in the Simic Growth Chamber, originally created by Momir Vig, Simic Visionary himself! What happened the first time you ask don’t about that. Now just this way. Oh those are just Plaxcaster Froglings, Cloudfin Raptors, and a Crocanura the Vigean Graftmage will clean whats left of that Gyre Sage don’t worry its perfectly safe here why do you ask?
