Zinnia, Valley’s Voice by Aldo Domínguez
Agate Instigator is a great example.
Things get pretty intense when you’ve gotAgate Instigator,Jacked Rabbit, andZinniaall working together at once.
The only other potential commander,Arthur, Marigold Knight,plays into this last theme quite well.

Family Matters Commander Deck Analysis
As you’d expect, Family Matters ismostly concerned with creatures.
To that end, the deck’s35 creatures are a Swiss-army knife of abilities.
What can provide sometruly explosive turnsareMartial Coup,Stolen by the Fae, andStorm of Souls.
We’ll replace them with creatures that can provide repeated card draw.
Each of these will work better with Zinnia to help you grow your family in no time.

Agate Instigator by Quintin Gleim
Cayth, Famed Mechanist
Cayth and Zinnia produce a feedback loop that can single-handedly win games.
And since Agate Instigator is a great kill card, why not have two?
Mulldrifter
Evoke Mulldrifter, then use Zinnia’s ability to give yourself a 1/1 Mulldrifter.
That’s five mana to draw four cards.
The perfect addition for Family Matters.
Trumpeting Carnosaur
Trumpeting Carnosaur is great on its own.
Jacked Rabbit by Scott Murphy
Being able to create a little baby Carnosaur that can also Discover 5 is just fantastic.
Welcoming Vampire
Reliable, repeatable card draw.
Wingmate Roc
Once again, the multiplicative powers of Zinnia are on full display with Wingmate Roc.
One 3/4 Roc begets another, and then Zinnia’s 1/1 Roc creates its own 3/4 Roc.
That’s three 3/4 Rocs and one 1/1 Roc that can be Populated to keep creating more 3/4 Rocs.
And if all those Rocs attack, that’s 16 life gained per swing.
