All I see is hydras, hydras everywhere!! This is a heavy ramp to victory deck with creatures so large that even red green monster decks will be crying their eyes as they piss all over themselves. The goal is to just ramp the first 2 or three turns until you drop the big daddies!!
Everyone been playing red green monsters and I'm just over here like looking at all these other really nasty monsters that they missed. Adding blue to the deck adds a little bit of mystery rather than just straight elementary beatdown. If you have any ideas please let me know!
Cards
Heroes' Bane
- My favorite hydra as this this is the granddaddy fatty of them all! Pump him only a few times and now he's a fuckin beast who just shits all over every other creature including worldspine worm
Mistcutter Hydra
- Pro blue and just amazing against any deck being that it has haste.
Zameck Guildmage
- What are Hydras made of? OH THATS RIGHT! COUNTERS! Don't have enough cards? Well now just sack a hydra by dumping his counters into extra massive draw! Also makes a late draw elvish mystic amazing by adding counters
Hydra Broodmaster- And you thought one hydra was tough? HOW ABOUT A WHOLE FUCKIN LITTER OF LITTLE BABY HYDRAS!
Illusionist's Bracers
- Infinite mana combo with kioras follower
Kioras follower, elvish mystic, sylvan caryatid all for ramp
Kiora, the Crashing Wave
- This card is so amazing with this deck. Not only will it force a kill card on her if they have one, (thus protecting your hydras), but it allows you to draw and ramp extra land, or keep some early aggro off and steered away from you.
Scourge of Skola Vale
- Now this is an interesting card. The fact that it has trample is huge to me, as well as the fact that it can eat other creatures. They try to kill another hydra? Eat them first. Though my favorite combo is with this guy and kioras follower. You swing in for attack phase with this 2/2, and when they block your other fattys and don't worry about this little guy, you use kioras follower to untag him, eat, untag, eat, and now he can be a massive 20/20, and they didn't even think to make anyone block him!! Its somewhat the same as using a bioshift mid combat.
Prophet of Kruphix- This guy is awesome, since now you have nearly double the mana for each turn. AS well as drop big unexpected hydras on their turn
Desired hand
Turn 1: Elvish MysticTurn 2: Sylvan Caryatid or Kiora's FollowerTurn 3: polukranos, or more ramp, or even kiora to minus into extra land and draw, or plus to keep aggro away even more. But the best thing would be If you Have Prophet of Kruphix on this turn. Then shit gets really crazy. Pass the turn to them, drop a heroes bane or any of the other massive creatures at your disposal to swing on next turnTurn 4: Tear shit up. If you have a heroes bane, you can now pump the shit out of this fatty and force them to chump all day or die. Or drop a massive miscutter with haste as well, and swing with both. Either way, they shouldn't have enough kill cards to deal with everything.
Side deck
Im still trying to figure out if the kruphix god would be worth it in this deck. The rollover mana is a HUGE thing with the hydras, but it would take the place of the prophet of kruphix. Simic charm makes ALL permanents hex proof saving your kioras as well. Bioshift is great against place decks, as you just shift counters off of creatures they try to kill. Solidarity of heroes? Self explanatory.
