Hydra Tribal (Hydras, Elves, and Lots of Counters)

Commander / EDH Counters Fight Hydra Mono-Green

Kashakunaki


The elves have prophesized the end of times deep in the wood of nature's last forest. Slumbering beasts of unimaginable power and primal fury rest, waiting for their moment to devour the world. Industrialization has taken over; determined to save their culture and the planet, the elves have decided to take this prophecy into their own hands and assist in awakening these creatures so that they may ravage the land. Hydras, massive, multi-headed beasts with an infinite appetite and unparalleled ferocity have awoken. Guided by their guardian, Gargos, Vicious Watcher, there is no doubt that these beasts will raze the planet in blood.

This is a commander deck led by Gargos, Vicious Watcher that is laser focused in execution. It does three things, and it does them well: ramping mana, drawing cards, and playing huge hydras.

This, like all my decks, is aimed to be a 75% commander deck. It doesn't make use of infinite combos, ridiculously expensive cards, and vomit inducing combos, but it is effective, it is fun, and it is versatile. I've played this deck and variations of it against many different opponents playing many different decks, and it does well. The deck has little interaction, though, and I'm sure in certain groups or settings would perform less than desirable. Despite this it is a ton of fun and remains quite consistent in our relatively competitive commander play group.

If you like everyone being afraid of every card you play, pumping out tons of mana, holding half your deck as your hand, and swinging to kill the whole table in a blow out turn with stupidly powerful hydras you'll have a lot of fun with this deck.
