Quandrix Unlimited Commander Deck Upgrade Guide

Quandrix Apprentice is a 2/2 for {G}{U} that looks at the top three cards whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery, and takes a land. It has no X in its cost, so it does not trigger Zimone.

Mathemagics costs {X}{X}{U}{U}: target player draws 2 to the power of X cards. X=3 draws eight, and it is an X spell, so it triggers Zimone and her discount.

Zimone, All-Questioning is a 1/1 that makes a Fractal at your end step if a land entered and you control a prime number of lands. It is played in about one Zimone deck in seven.

Geometer's Arthropod is a 1/4 for {G}{U}: whenever you cast a spell with {X} in its mana cost, you look at the top X cards of your library and put one into your hand. Every X spell becomes a tutor.

Eureka Moment draws two cards and lets you put a land onto the battlefield, for four mana, and it has no X.

Repulsive Mutation costs {X}{G}{U} at instant speed: it puts X +1/+1 counters on a creature you control, then counters a spell unless its controller pays mana equal to the greatest power among your creatures. It is an X spell that grows a creature and counters a spell.

Zimone, Quandrix Prodigy is a 1/2 for {G}{U} that puts a land onto the battlefield for {1} and a tap, and draws for {4} and a tap. It is a slow creature that does not trigger Zimone.

Finale of Revelation costs {X}{U}{U}: draw X cards. If X is 10 or more, it shuffles your graveyard into your library, draws X cards, untaps up to five lands and gives you no maximum hand size. A scalable draw spell that triggers Zimone.

Deekah is a five-mana creature that makes a Fractal with counters whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery. It is a fine card, but it costs five and has no X.

Syncopate costs {X}{U} at instant speed: counter target spell unless its controller pays {X}, and exile it instead if it is countered. A one-mana X counterspell that triggers Zimone every turn, and it is played in about half of Zimone decks.

Oversimplify exiles every creature, and each player gets a Fractal with counters equal to the power they lost. It is a sweeper in a creature deck, and it has no X.

Broodguard Elite costs {X}{G}{G} and enters with X +1/+1 counters. When it leaves the battlefield its counters go onto another creature you control, and it has warp {X}{G}. An X creature that never loses its counters.

Perplexing Test costs {3}{U}{U} to return all creature tokens or all nontoken creatures to their owners' hands. It is a five-mana reset that does not trigger Zimone.

Condescend costs {X}{U} at instant speed: counter target spell unless its controller pays {X}, then scry 2. It is another X spell for Zimone, and it replaces itself with card selection.

Zimone's Hypothesis costs five. It puts a counter on a creature, then bounces every creature with odd or even power. It is a swingy reset with no X.

Mind into Matter costs {X}{G}{U}: draw X cards, then you may put a permanent card with mana value X or less from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. A scalable draw spell that also puts a creature onto the battlefield.

Beast Within is a three-mana instant that destroys a permanent and gives its controller a 3/3 Beast. It is played in about one Zimone deck in two, but it has little synergy with Zimone.

March of Swirling Mist costs {X}{U}. Up to X target creatures phase out, and you may exile blue cards from your hand to make it cost {2} less for each. It has {X} in its cost, so it makes Zimone cheaper and gives her two counters, and it is an instant that saves your board.

Quandrix Charm is a two-mana instant that counters a spell unless its controller pays {2}, destroys an enchantment, or makes a creature 5/5. It is played in about one Zimone deck in three.

Doppelgang costs {X}{X}{X}{G}{U}. For each of X target permanents, you create X tokens that are copies of it. It is the heaviest X spell in the deck, and with Zimone's counters it costs less each time.
