Made the deck when I saw this post:http://tappedout.net/mtg-questions/heartless-summoning-and-primordial-hydra/

After doing some research, I learned how Hydras have been a running joke of standard for some time now. Would this deck be better without the hydras? Probably.

Heartless Summoning gets your hydras out earlier. Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch hastes your hydras and also hastes Olivia Voldaren if you can ping something when you play her. Corpsejack Menace makes your hydras grow. Rancor helps your hydras damage get through.

Desecration Demon is there for cheap aggro control and is a 5/5 flying grinder.

Then there's a splash of removal in Mizzium Mortars, Putrefy, and Abrupt Decay.

In play testing this, I often felt the need for a sweeper. Maybe I could consider Bonfire of the Damned or Gaze of Granite. I also have troubles with getting the right mana so the land base might need some fixing.
