Zaxara Deck - Cutting Cards Help

[shippo84]

Hi:))

Could anyone help me out cutting cards from this this Deck...I think I need some new eyes looking at them, because I can't decide anymore xDD

The mana base isn't done on purpose. I'll start doing it after the 100 cards are final.

A good strategy is to break the decklist up into sections.  These sections describe why those cards are in the deck.  Ramp, card draw, and removal are sections that every deck needs.  The sections can be as small as one card, or as large as they need to be.


When you've got a section that seems excessively large, that's the first place to make some cuts.

I would maybe consider cutting Gyre Sage.  It doesn't work the way you think with Zaxara because the tokens actually enter as 0/0 creatures THEN you put counters on them, so they don't trigger the Gyre Sage.  Sorry, it's only one cut out of a few, but that's the first that really caught my eye
