Strategy
Lwaxana Troi is a sneaky engine that doubles triggered abilities on creatures you control while she's tapped. The core play is: tap her targeting a creature with a juicy triggered ability (like a creature that triggers when it enters, attacks, or deals damage), then that creature's triggers fire twice every turn. This turns modest effects into devastating value engines—a creature that draws one card becomes two, a creature that makes one token becomes two, a creature that drains one life becomes two. You can untap her strategically with cards like Thousand-Year Elixir or just leave her tapped for multiple turns if the trigger is good enough.
The deck rewards creatures with repeatable triggered abilities, especially ones that trigger multiple times per turn cycle (enter effects repeatedly via blink, attack triggers, damage triggers, or death triggers via sacrifice outlets). Red naturally lends itself to combat-focused triggers and temporary token generators. You're playing a midrange engine deck that grinds value, then closes with token swarms or combat damage.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive tutors and Doubling Season; use Goblin tokens from affordable creatures like Talrand, Sky Summoner or Krenko, Mob Boss instead, and lean on free blink effects like Ephemerate (under $2) rather than pricey ones.
