New brew for Zaxara, the Exemplary

Plan is simple...

1 - Ramp

13 pieces of ramp at 2cmc or less, working towards 3rd turn Zaxara, the Exemplary. this will mean we have 6 mana as we untap turn 4.

2 - Makes lots of Mana

• Zaxara, the Exemplary

• Selvala, Heart of the Wilds

• Bloom Tender

These all tap for multiple mana, which means they can be used with Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura to make infinite mana.

as a back up there's Palinchron and Mana Reflection, Nyxbloom Ancient, to make the same large mana.

Use all the Mana

• Torment of Hailfire

• Villainous Wealth

• Blue Sun's Zenith

• Stroke of Genius

• Thassa's Intervention

All of these can be used to win in some form or another.

Some interesting lines,

• with a t3 Zaxara, the Exemplary we can have a t4 Consecrated Sphinx

• Tooth and Nail can be used to go infinite with Nyxbloom Ancient & Palinchron Just need a mana sink to win.

• Emergent Ultimatum is also a one card win con... With a mana tapper out pick Freed from the Real, Pemmin's Aura, and a mana doubler...only one of the infinte mana pieces can be shuffled away,

• Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy is a very flexible option, works as both a mana dork doubler and an mana sink.

Side note

Land base isn't real, just a place holder while I brew.
