Zaxara is a hydra poet, and they're going to drop some big rhymes.

This is an X cost tribal, with a hydra sub-theme. It was more incidental than planned since so many hydra's are X cost cards.

The strategy for this deck is to get Zaxara, the Exemplary and generate infinite mana while casting X cost cards.

Infinite Mana Combos

Freed from the Real/Pemmin's Aura + Zaxara, the Exemplary/Selvala, Heart of the Wilds

Basalt Monolith + Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds/Gyre Sage+ Umbral Mantle

Wincons

Make big monster and smash...

Make big monster and sacrifice it to Altar of Dementia to mill you opponents.

Infinite mana + Exsanguinate/Torment of Hailfire

Infinite mana + Villainous Wealth to cast your opponents entire deck and use it against everyone.

Simic Ascendancy is here for a boring wincon
