So I'v been pretty far to the black side of things for the last few weeks. Zegana is a really cool general that isn't as combo oriented as something like Momir Vig is. I started with my Mimeoplasm list that includes Zegana to great effect.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/mimeoplasm-09-01-14-1/
Keeping the strong cards that fit the theme of large men and drawing tons of cards gives us:
Bane of Progress
Krosan Tusker
Multani, Maro-Sorcerer
Prophet of Kruphix
Stormtide Leviathan
Terastodon
Titania, Protector of Argoth
Woodfall Primus
Greater Good
Sylvan Library
That's not a very long list, but it gives me a direction I want to take the deck.
There are some givens for a list like this that haven't been hit from the Mimeoplasm,
Consecrated Sphinx
Tooth and Nail
Oracles of Mul Daya
Chasm Skulker
Kruphix, God of Horizons
Progenitor Mimic
Lorescale Coatl
Garruk, Primal Hunter
Doubling Season
Psychosis Crawler
Avenger of Zendikar
Regal Force
Edric, Spymaster of Trest
Special attention has to be paid to the ramp for this deck since its going to be a lot of high mana bombs.
Ramp:
Sol Ring
Mana Crypt
Gilded Lotus
Thran Dynamo
Mind Stone
Dreamstone Hedron
Simic Signet
Chromatic Lantern
Shaman of Forgotten Ways
Somberwald Sage
Cultivate
Kodama's Reach
Explosive Vegetation
Skyshroud Claim
Hunting Wilds
Urban Evolution
Explore
And ways to find our various dudes:
Green Sun's Zenith
Natural Order
Chord of Calling
Birthing Pod
Assuming 38 land, this leaves 17 slots left to fill. The directions the deck can go from here are more focused on the card drawing, the large creatures, flicker effects, or big mana stuff like Genesis Wave. I feel you need to have white in the deck to really do flickering justice. The large creature theme is probably worth using another card or two on considering the amount of ramp that's got to be in the deck anyway. Drawing cards is fun, so that's probably going to get the most attention, and a number of counterspells/protection should also be made room for.
Rite of Replication
Zameck Guildmage
Draining Whelk
Lightning Greaves
Momentous Fall
Plasm Capture
Mana Drain
Seedborn Muse
Fathom Mage
Overbeing of Myth
Blue Sun's Zenith
Stroke of Genius
Krosan Grip
Spitting Image
Cyclonic Rift
Bribery
Crystal Shard
This mix of spells lets the deck cover its bases. It gives you more available mana, card draw, and interaction. Bribery curves nicely into Zegana. This was actually one of the easiest builds I've ever done, the full list is here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/02-05-15-zegana/
Cheers!
