REMOVED: Garruk, Primal Hunter
ADDED: Zendikar Resurgent
Zendikar Resurgent is one of my favorite cards of all time and having such an effect in a big-cost deck like this is super valuable. Garruk is an ok planeswalker but I'm always a little underwhelmed to find him in my hand.
Epic cards are risky. I like the suggestions but, between the two, I would only run Dominion, and I don't think I'll run either here. Zegana wants to win by out-valuing the table, and if I can't cast my spells, I can't get that value.

Makes sense. Hmm, then maybe Panharmonicon? I see you have plenty and plenty of ETB effect creatures and you mentioned you love Fathom Mage. If I'm not mistaken, I believe her evolve ability would trigger twice with pan on the field.

I haven't checked all of the history logs, but have you ever tried Woodland Bellower? I've had a lot of good luck with him in my zegana build. Always good for either a land, rec sage, or eternal witness.

Dryad Arbor, Wood Elves, Sakura-Tribe Elder and Farhaven Elf are all creatures bellower can grab.

Oh ok. I didn't realize dryad arbor was green. The others are not land, but I get the intent.

yeah, wood elves/sakura-tribe elder are lands, Kiora's Follower or Gyre Sage are both usually more mana than those though, same purpose. also you have rhonas as a target for an extra big creature to attack with

Panharmonicon should be in here. Basically doubles all of your ETB effects (which you have alot of) including Fathom Mage. Also why no Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix? She belongs in here

Kydele would indeed be good. Panharmonicon is dangerous i think. Any cut considerations?

Haha not a fan of Panharmonicon? Hmm, cuts for kydele, I would maybe say Bounty of the Luxa if it's not too useful or maybe Kiora's Follower depending how you use it. It's kinda hard to really pick which to take out haha. What do you think?

This deck has seen numerous edits and revisions. It's becoming increasingly challenging to choose cuts, which I take as a sign that it's close to finalized. I still look at new sets that come out and see if I can fit new cards into it, but that gets trickier as time progresses. The deck tends to play longer games so Bounty has a lot of opportunity for reliable value, whereas Kydele is strictly conditional AND more vulnerable to interaction than an enchantment would be, being a creature. Her potential single-turn upside is huge but unreliable.

I see what you're saying. Another creature I feel that fits to make sure you get damage through when your creatures become huge is Sun Quan, Lord of Wu. Thass is great, but it wouldn't hurt to have another creature that basically makes all of your creatures unblockable. But like you said, hard to find cuts. But I think he would be great in the deck as well.

Zegana does get huge and he basically becomes a second copy of Thassa if I add him. Not a bad option at all

Awesome Zegana deck! Building a list myself, so thank you for the inspiration. I like your take on it a lot and it's probably close to the kind of Zegana deck I'm looking to make. Altered Ego seems to fit your theme by the way. Pretty fun little derpy card too.

Love the deck! You've inspired me to want to build Zegana. How do you feel about Endless Swarm and Eternal Dominion? They would be great win cons. Swarm is nasty because if planned correctly you will have many many cards in hand. Dominion is another win con since you take the best cards from your opponent.
