Absolutely! Both of these auras were in the first draft of this deck, but I decided to just include Pemmin's Aura. Having two in hand did not seem to be the best way to manage resources.
Two cards I run I believe deserve a honor mention. Herald of Secret Streams. For 3 and one blue 2/3. Creatures you control with +1/+1 counters on them can't be blocked. Vorel of the Hull Clade. 1 green and 1 blue for 1/4 that has pay blue and a green to tap:double the number of each kind of counter on target artifact, creature, or land
I can see the value in each of these suggestions. I had considered each of them during the initial construction of this deck. I chose to steer away from Herald because the build offers so much evasion in other ways, and I decided against Vorel because it only targets one permanent at a time.
Zaxara is an pretty old one- But also my All-Time Favorite. I love this commander. Your Deck is good. I play it a little different. Ahjo. Add: Runadi, Behemot Caller and Garruks Uprising, very useful
Thank you for your kind words! YES! Runadi would be AMAZING here!!! I'll have to check the storage coffers! Garruk's Uprising is in the 99 already. It is beastly! Thank you for your suggestions!!
Garruks uprising i think doesnt work as people believe, i have to remove it from my deck. Trample is good on our big creatures but the token hydras enter de BF as 0/0 so it doesnt trigger the draw. Someone can confirm if its true or not. actually learned that today, i did a small google search and apaprently is true but who knows. If its draw what you want, probably better a mystic remora or something like that
You are correct. The interaction between Garruk's Uprising and Zaxara's token-producing ability will not yield a card. However, this deck's not hurting for card advantage and there are several other creatures that can trigger Uprising. The trample enablement is the MVP of this card in Zaxxy, and it has helped to win many games with those trample-less Hydra tokens.
@@teamcosmicseeds I'm just trying to get out of this whole area. I got a ticket to pay for expired tags from 2022 cause my lying ex never paid or gave back the papers to take onto the BMV. And now can't find my tittle even. Just a bunch of bs if was back up north I have plenty of work support and friends and family un like around here in this trash town.
No. The +1 +1 counters are placed onto the token as part of the ability. Creating the token and putting the +1 +1 counters on it are the same ability, so state-based game actions never see the token as a 0/0.
I'm also surprised you didn't mention [[freed from the real]]. Basically does the same thing as pemmin. Combod that with zax and [[hydra broodmaster]] just last night and dropped 100x 100/100 hydra tokens. Half the table just got up and left 😅 Whatever. Awesome video. I'll add some of these to my deck first thing this evening 💪🏾👍🏾
@@acutefailure1 Hahaha! I can just imagine players getting up and walking away. A walk-off MTG play! I initially considered Freed From The Real but relented and decided to include just Pemmin's Aura since it is more versatile. Including a second outlet for the infinite-mana combo here may be enticing, especially considering it could enchant either Bloom Tender or Selvala with equal results. I wonder how many walk-offs this would inspire among members of my playgroup? Knowing them, there would be less walk-offs and more hate, but we can handle it. We're Sultai baby!!
@@mtgburgeoning3205 Temur and naya are played for the love of the game, sultai is played for the hate of your friends. I'm just thinking about more ways to make giant hydra tokens that I can sacrifice to make my table upset lol
It's fine with that I'm not even wanting to be up but iam. I wish I was sleeping. I just noticed I didn't even put all of what I meant to say half awake but can't fall asleep. Lol
Wow, I looked up my suggestions for the first ten "X" spells for this deck in Ep. 158 When the sectional audio kicks in you better wake up 😲 Think this has to be one of your decks that your Meta hates to see come out and play 😈
Hahaha! Those little jolts are purposeful. I'm hoping that they help to break-up the minutiae of listening to my voice talking about cards for 25 minutes haha. Surprisingly, my play group does not mind this deck, aside from attaching Pemmin's Aura to Zaxara, which I only use as a last resort. There are far more evil builds that my group does not like. Some of which will be showcased soon.....

Freed From the Real is basically another copy of Pemmin's Aura for the infinite combo

seedborn muse always very good in this, i put wonder and herald of secret stream for evasion
Excellent additions! The extra evasion should make quick work of opponents!!

Freed from the reel works for unlimited blue mana too
Oh yeah! That baby used to be in the 99 here, but it was eventually replaced.
Oh, Dobby is going to love this deck
Hooray!
Wow my x spell commander is omnath locust of all that and a bag of chips
Haha! Love it!!

Good morning from Germany
i use a blu sun zenith to kill a Thassa oracle combo, aaa so satisfying lol.
Nice! I have used Stroke of Genius to knock an opponent out of the game a few times haha.

Let's goooo
The Exemplary one!
Is you doubling season the hydra token isn't the copy just a 0/0?
No. The +1 +1 counters are placed onto the token as part of the ability. Creating the token and putting the +1 +1 counters on it are the same ability, so state-based game actions never see the token as a 0/0.
such a fun deck man it looks good
Thank you! It is a blast to play!!
Throw in Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and thank me later
Ooooohhh, that could be a very nice peripheral win condition. Great suggestion!!
