I’ve seen some saucy theories about this card bandied about the internet, one of which included Stensia Bloodhall. Zaxara is showing up as one of the most popular commanders out of the gate from this entire set, so keep your eyes peeled for this at many tables near you! Boneyard Mycodrax Throw in any of the Finales from War of the Spark, such as Finale of Devastation, or even just the classic Torment of Hailfire, and you're golden. Check out Hydroid Krasis, Pull from Tomorrow, and Curse of the Swine, too. You could improve on some, such as Capricopian, Vastwood Hydra, and Animist's Awakening, but the rest are pretty spicy, especially Villainous Wealth. Imagine the shenanigans you can get up to when you play Unbound Flourishing !Įnhanced Evolution even offers decent support for Zaxara with 10 X spells in the original list. For example, the turn after you cast Zaxara, you could untap, play a land, and cast a chunky 6/6 Hungering Hydra that comes with another 6/6 buddy because of Zaxara. Speaking of X spells, Zaxara turns them into armies of X/X Hydras at no additional cost, which seems truly nasty. I recommend strapping the new Aura Colossification onto Ukkima.

On a related note, Ukkima can go total Voltron. With that thought in mind, pack some sacrifice or blink effects of your own to deal the damage on your own terms and evade any nasty Kenrith's Transformation s you might encounter. Since its second ability triggers upon leaving the battlefield, you only get punished if your opponents have Pacifism effects.

make it so big that your opponents have no choice but to remove it, but will get clobbered if they do remove it. Increasing Savagery, Forgotten Ancient, Hydra's Growth. Stacking counters on Ukkima is another option. Cazur offers clear synergy with that plan, not to mention with Proliferate. Nobody's blocking it, so that means you’ll always get a four-point life swing when you Ninjutsu (at the very least). But after deeper reflection, these commanders are actually awesome.įor starters, Ukkima is an excellent enabler for Ninjas. At first glance, I didn't have much to say about these cards beyond a Free Willy/Air Bud lovechild joke.
