Gruul hydra ramp deck running off of green devotion
There is enough ramp in the deck to take hands with only one land and even win a game with just one land. The low lands often force a mulligan or two but mana ramps very quickly often making this less of a problem than it would seem.
On the draw a perfect hand and draw can put out a Kalonian Hydra and a 28/28 Mistcutter Hydra on turn 4
Lots of fun to play. Very funny when opponent uses Thoughtseize because you are often holding lots of big creatures or hydras that can be big
