This [Zaxara, the Exemplary] Commander Deck is focused on maximizing the value of +1/+1 counters and using Zaxara's ability to generate mana for spells that take advantage of those counters.

The strategy revolves around ramping quickly through spells like Cultivate, Farseek, and Skyshroud Claim, setting up for big plays with creatures like Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider, Scute Swarm, and Hydroid Krasis, or spells like Villainous Wealth and Simic Ascendancy. You’ll find ways to control the board with Cyclonic Rift, Toxic Deluge, and Assassin's Trophy, while also having tools like Freed from the Real and Illusionist's Bracers to enable infinite combos, notably with creatures like Palinchron or Patchwork Crawler.

The deck also features powerful tutoring effects such as Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Mystical Tutor to find key combo pieces or control elements. There’s synergy with counter-based strategies, as seen with Unbound Flourishing and Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner, making this deck capable of overwhelming opponents with an army of huge creatures or finishing them off with Thassa's Oracle and Laboratory Maniac in a combo finish.

With access to green, blue, and black, this deck has a flexible and adaptable game plan, whether you prefer a more ramp-heavy approach, counter manipulation, or trying to set up a huge final turn with your spells.
