Strategy
Zar Ojanen is a Domain payoff that rewards you for playing diverse basic lands and tapping your creatures. The core gameplan is to build a mana base with all five basic land types (or as many as possible), then use Zar's ability to pump your growing army whenever it taps. You'll want cheap creatures with useful tap abilities—think mana dorks, utility creatures, and token generators—so tapping them advances your gameplan while growing your board. This turns every activation into a mini-anthem effect.
Your win condition is combat damage from an increasingly pumped creature army. With five basic land types online, you're adding +1/+1 counters to most of your creatures each turn cycle, quickly turning mid-sized creatures into threats. The deck plays like midrange with a ramp shell: accelerate into your mana base, establish Zar, then tap your utility creatures to both generate value and grow your team. It's not a pure aggro deck, but it punishes opponents who can't race your snowballing board.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive dual lands; basic lands are your friend here. Use signets and talismans instead of pricey mana rocks, and lean on green ramp spells like Cultivate and Farseek.
