Legendary Creature - Merfolk Wizard (Mythic Rare)
Prime Speaker Zengana enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the greatest power among other creatures you control.

1/1

Revealed in an article by Brady Dummermuth on MagicTheGathering.com, Prime Speaker Zegana is an incredibly powerful creature that can allow you to draw a serious amount of cards.

With a casting cost of six, Prime Speaker Zegana makes a great follow up to a turn five Thragtusk (or sooner, thanks to a Farseek). You'll be able to draw an even larger amount of cards with Wolfir Silverheart (a whopping nine), and with Restoration Angel backup your opponent will be completely overwhelmed by your card advantage. Prime Speaker Zegana is also great friends with Deadeye Navigator.

As a Merfolk, Prime Speaker Zegana will get pumped by your Master of the Pearl Trident.

Prime Speaker Zegana makes a fantastic Commander to refill your hand.

There's absolutely no doubt that Prime Speaker Zegana will see serious competitive play.

How will you use Prime Speaker Zegana?
