Zaxara, Elf Tribal

The main goal of this deck is to quickly create an absurd amount of mana and cast an "X Spell" to drain/mill your opponents for game. To accomplish this the deck is packed with some of the most efficient mana generating elves in all of Magic's history. This unique and unexpected approach often leaves opponents confused as most Zaxara builds focus around Hydra tribal and/or counters matter strategies. Though the deck does not focus around Hydras it certainly takes advantage of them. Hydra tokens can be used as a distracting and menacing presence on your board. Allowing you the time needed to build your combo. They are also highly synergetic with cards like Sylvala, Heart of the Wilds and Rishkar. The deck can be considered highly tuned with the right opening hand, winning by turn 4-5. On average the deck is known for consistent threats but at a slow/steady pace. Making it compatible with pods of power level 6-9.

Combo 1: Zaxara + Freed from the Real + Torment of Hailfire Equip Freed from the Real to Zaxara. Tap Zaxara creating 2 blue mana. Use one of the blues for Freed from the Real's ability causing Zaxara to untap. Repeat this process until you have an infinite amount of blue, then start taping Zaxara for black and green creating infinite sultai mana. Use that mana to cast Torment of Hailfire for a game winning amount. Recommend having a counter spell in hand to protect your combo as a just in case.

This type of win can also be achieved by switching out the following:

Zaxara can be switched with Wirewood Channeler, Bloom Tender, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds or Incubation Druid.

Freed from the Real can be switched with Pemmin's Aura

Torment of Hailfire can be switched with Mind Grind, Exsanguinate or Drown in Dreams
