This deck is constructed around rubbing out Zahid quickly and efficiently, getting him to John Wick levels of armed and determined and swinging lethal commander, flying or sometimes unblockable, by turn 6 or 7. This deck is made even better with Zahid's resiliency to both damage based removal, and commander tax. Keeping commanders off board ends most commander deck function, but Zahid being off board neither hinders us, or helps them. Recast through removal to soak up removal from more precious targets, like Blighted Agent or Invisible Stalker, then use either to swing regular lethal, infect or not.

UPGRAYYYDs: If you own any of the expensive Swords, jam them in. Vedalken Orrery easily replaces Inspiring Sanctuary. There are many cheap throw-away artifact equipment, if there are pet picks in this department, have fun. I almost considered running some of the 6 cost equipment to justify putting in Treasure Mage, but I stuck with the lowest curve and budget. Academy Ruins is a no-brainer if you have it. Ghost Quarter, Tectonic Edge, Rogue's Passage, Strip Mine, Field of Ruin, all staples, run them if you got them, I chose not to because I'm too lazy to pull them out of whatever dark corner they're in.
