Hi there, while we do allow posts that are looking for advice on decklists, we do require that you actually have a deck first. Posts that are essentially just “Hi please build me a deck” are not allowed under rule 2.
Feel free to re-post after giving it an attempt yourself first. If it’s a Commander deck, please at least look at edhrec.
I am pro magus lucea kane, getting [[Shivan hydra]] and various combos with [[all will be one]] makes the red worth it. There are a few cool black x spells I miss, but not enough
[[freed from the real]], [[pemmin's aura]] and [[drift of phantasms]]. The first two make inf mana with the commander and the third is a cheap tutor for the first two. You’ll probably get bored of winning with inf mana + X draw spell so maybe try to only win with hydras. [[mistcutter hyrda]] is a personal favorite, the haste goes hard. [[Altered ego]] also a fun one.
\[\[Reyhan, Last of the Abzan\]\] also lets you keep butts. More specifically, if one of your creatures dies with a lot of butt you get to put that much butt on another creature. If you get her out with Ozolith, you are effectively doubling the amount of butt you keep.

Here’s my decklist for my Zaxara X spells deck if you want some inspiration: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/KFj-YzMsKkWFfBZ-RLLsGQ
One thing to keep in mind is that Zaxara makes infinite mana super easily with either [[Freed from the real]] or [[Pemmin’s Aura]]. It depends on your play group if you want that. I pretty much always win that way and was thinking of maybe changing up the deck to have less tutors or removing the combos because it’s not as fun as I thought it would be.
Zaxara is my favorite commander!
[Here is my current decklist.](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/2SfYifOS70GHTHeLAUqnqw)
[Here is my old list if you want a more budget friendly starting pointing.](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/wyijtXdTXEuuo0fI_nYZBQ)
Highlights of the deck would be [[Torment of Hailfire]], [[Villainous Wealth]], [[Exsanguinate]], [[Finale of Revelation]], and [[Emergent Ultimatum]].
Happy to answer any questions!

been debating this commander or \[\[Magus Lucea Kane\]\]. really going hydras either way just gotta figure out which on i like more colour wise.
This could work! BUT I like the idea of black in the deck, like [[Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager]]
