Here is a (1DH) build of Zaxara, the Exemplary. This deck wants to ramp super hard in the early game and then cast all of the best X spells for tons of big bodies from our commander. Rogue's passage helps us to get our bigs through, including Heroes' Bane and Simic ascendency can get us there if combat damage won't. Villainous Wealth can also find us some fun win conditions if our huge Hydras are feeling lazy.

The Maybe Board consists of some budget friendly upgrades I would consider if I were to ignore the $1 limit and put a $5 threshold on card price, considering card prices as of the date of this posting.

This deck is 1DH legal as of the posting of this deck.

1DH: All cards in the deck are valued at or below $1 USD with the exception of the commander. Prices are checked using mtgstocks.com and the average price needs to qualify for any printing of the card to be considered for a 1DH deck.
