The deck revolves around its Commander, Zaxara, the Exemplary. Its game-play consist of ramping and mana fixing so you can cast Zaxara as quickly as possible and then playing big X spells to create equally as big Hydra Tokens. The deck has an Infinite Mana Combo with Zaxara and either Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura. It has multiple Win Conditions such as:

• Killing your opponents with one of the "deal X damage to player" spell

• Mill/Exile your opponents deck with one of the "Mill/Exile X cards from your opponents deck" spell (Drown in Dreams can also draw out a player from the game to win)

• Run them over with Huge Tampling/Unblockable creatures

• Simic Ascendancy

In order for the deck to work Zaxara has to be protected and kept out of harms way. This deck has a fragile start but once you begin making Hydra Tokens and have a lot of mana or the combo it should snowball if not grant you the win. The deck could be upgraded using Tutors to fetch the combo. However the deck as is has a lot of card draw which should find you the pieces or just more threats to maintain the pressure. In the Maybeboard are many suggestions that can easily fit into the deck and its up to you to make any changes you'd see fit.

Overall this a very fun deck with many options to customize and make your deck your own.
