MTG Salvation

Let me be the first to welcome you to the Simic Combine. Here you may find the answers you need for the questions that plague your mind. Here, open your heart along with your mind to the perfection of nature. Here, our mission is to preserve nature on our plane of Ravnica. Our previous guildmaster was... disappointing. He tainted our mission and our name. But now, we shall redeem our name and protect the elements as well as the people of Ravnica.

This is my initial Commander build for Prime Speaker Zegana. I wanted to make a second deck from my Marton deck (in my signature). My Marton deck has been tuned to be an Aggro deck, so I wanted my second deck to be a little different. This deck is aimed to the Simic's best strengths in Commander: Progressing your own resources through speed and growth. This way, I'll have an answer to most situation that is happening on the field. Because of this, I wanted to lean the build to a toolbox-kinda-deck. I tried to run Momir Vig, Simic Visionary but I realized that Zegana is much more versatile than Momir. Need more fuel for your biological expedition? Zegana got you covered! Not only that, Zegana gives you value the minute he hits the field. Momir is targeted the minute he enters and doesn't give value until you play more spells. Also, Zegana can get Commander damage in, unlike Momir. So, in Momir vs Zegana, our Merfolk speaker kicks major butt. This is the first draft of the deck, so any suggestions would be welcomed! Now, without further ado, I give you my Zegana build.

The first two cards I notice not being here are Seedborn Muse and Psychosis Crawler. The Muse is arguably more useful than Murkfiend Liege since it gets you extra mileage out of Teferi and Alchemist's Refuge, as well as opens the potential for Capsize abuse on your ETB critters. (And also Leyline of Anticipation, which is another possibility to be running.) And the Crawler turns your myriads of card draw into life loss, fueling the cause, and also provides a large body for Zegana in the same vein as Overbeing of Myth. (Crawler and Overbeing also combo together nicely themselves. And Crawler + Consecrated Sphinx wears people down quickly if not dealt with.)

Also, Praetor's Counsel. Zegana really likes effects that eliminate your max hand size, and Counsel does the job very nicely. The mass-Regrowth is good too, of course.

I don't have the Muse, nor do I have a Crawler. Must grab me some of those!

Do have a Counsel. I'll consider it. Any other suggestions?

Azusa with oracle and your mass card can help you get more lands out quicker. Works wonders in my build. Also bribery can almost always be good. Just naming off cards, don't know if there on your list. I've also had lots of fun with omniscience in zegana, great on combo with tidespout tyrant. Oh yea, sakashima the imposter.

Awesome suggestions! Thank you guys, keep them coming!

Woo hoo! I found a Psychosis Crawler. Yeah! I also got Tooth and Nail, and some other Commander staples. I'm pretty stoked with myself! Today was a good day! Big update, hopefully this weekend I'll work on a more visually pleasing format! I need help from you guys to make this deck prime!
