My optimal zegana list.

This removes all fun combos and replaces them with the most optimal ones. It's near the cedh power level, but it would not be able to compete with optimized cedh strategies.

The deck aims to assemble an infinite mana combo, which allows you to draw a large amount of cards using Prime Speaker Zegana. All combos in the deck include either an exile, flicker, bounce, clone or trigger copy effect, allowing Zegana to trigger at least two or three times once she hits the field to close out the game. In most cases she can be cast an arbitrary amount of times, allowing you to draw the entire deck and win with Thassa's Oracle.

Infinite Mana combos:

Food Chain: Food Chain + (Misthollow Griffin | Eternal Scourge) -> Infinite Creature Mana.

Palinchron: Palinchron + (Deadeye Navigator || Phantasmal Image || Altered Ego/Phyrexian Metamorph/Glasspool Mimic   + Temur Sabertooth) + 7 Lands or Cradle that produces at least 5 mana + two blue lands. -> Infinite Mana.

What to do when both Food Chain and Palinchron or Thassa's Oracle are exiled/Alternate Wincons:

If no Infinite Mana combo can be assembled:

If Thassa's Oracle has been exiled: Eternal Witness + (Deadeye Navigator | Temur Sabertooth) + (Reality Shift -> exile all libraries | Swan Song + any Instant/Sorcery/Enchantment -> Infinite 2/2 fliers).

Some other game winning lines with infinite mana and infinite EWit triggers: Exctract -> Exile all cards from opponent's decks Beast Within/Terastodon -> Create infinite 3/3 beasts by targeting your own nonland permanent and recast. Destroy all opponents lands. Follow up with Cyclonic Rift or other removal to attack next turn for infinite damage.

Finale of Destruction -> Infinite +X/+X and haste creatures. If necessary Berserk will give trample aswell.

There are a lot of other interactions hidden, but these are the most important ones.

Have fun.
