When I saw Zaxara, the Exemplary, I knew this was the commander I would build next. The deck is pretty simple, play x spells get big bois, even all but two of the counterspells are x spells which hasn't bitten me in the butt yet. Because Craterhoof Behemoth makes the deck out of budget I added some slightly weaker alternatives such as Triumph of the Hordes and Overwhelming Stampede. I went and added two cards that make Zaxara, the Exemplary go infinite allowing for some funnier win cons like playing Villainous Wealth and playing an opponents entire deck while getting a very big hydra token, on that note, it's only two enchantments with no way to search so it rarely comes up and I normally save them till late game for the sake of the game. Overall, the deck is decent and a lot of fun but, this by no means the final version, just a nice starting point. Suggestions welcome!

(PS: the deck was on private and didn't know how descriptions work since this is my first time posting so I accidentally posted it as a comment smh)
