• Hi, looking for some guidance. This is my first time building a deck from scratch so I'm not sure if I'm missing anything obvious. This is a hydra tribal deck, with a large subtheme for X-spells.
• I used the Command Zone's guide to building a deck which is: 10-12 Ramp, 10 Card Draw, 10-12 Single Target Removal, 3-4 Board Wipes, 35-38 lands, 25 Stand Alone, 10-12 enhancers, 7-8 Enablers, and 30ish theme related cards. Trying to get everything was pretty hectic with all the overlapping that is necessary, and I'm not sure if I am thinking of enhancers and enablers correctly either. Their list doesn't include protection spells either so I'm not sure if that would be enhance or enable. Overall mentally tired but it was very fun and satisfying to see it all come together.
• Checking out some of the other Zaxara decks on this site I noticed a lot of difference between theirs and mine. At first I thought it was because their themes were X spell first, where mine was Hydra theme first, but it seems like my list is very different even to the other Hydra theme first lists on this website.
• Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a busy job so I may not be able to be as responsive as others, but rest assured I will be checking your recommendations frequently.
