My goal here was to try and make Zaxara as competitive as I could. I wanted a deck that could win as fast as possible without relying on one of the top CEDH commanders.

This is a fun machine that likes to make infinite mana and win with an X spell to either draw yourself out to Lab Man/Jace/Thassa's Oracle, or outright kill your opponents with either direct life loss or forced draw. The combo focuses on getting Zaxara onto the field, then putting out Pemmin's Aura or Free'd from the real to go infinite. If you find your Zaxara getting killed off, there are backup infinite combos through Kinnan and any other mana dork and either aura. With Walking Ballista already in the deck, I also snuck in Mikeaus and Triskelion for another easy combo to pull off. There are counter spells to try and keep the combo alive, return from graveyard to get any lost combo pieces back, and a few removal spells to deal with anything enchanted/on the field that could stop you. There is some definite room for upgrades in the land base still, as well as a counter spell or two I plan to buy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
