Flying Hydras... what could be scarier?
please comment
as a note: these are all cards I currently own
hmm, seeing as a lot of decks I've been looking at recently have this, lets add a why these cards section
back board cards:
Elvish Mystic turn 1 mana ramp
Sylvan Caryatid turn 2 mana ramp, good aggro blocker, hexproof, gives me blue mana if I don't already have it
Kiora's Follower turn 2 mana ramp, plus awesome to combo with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and can be used for pseudo vigilance on a larger creature
Courser of Kruphix turn 2-3 land drop fixer, life gain, aggro blocker, devotion
Prophet of Kruphix
turn 3-5 key card to play before any other big creatures if possible. Creature flash-ins, pseudo vigilance, always have mana open for responses
attackers:
Mistcutter Hydra x cost haste pro blue uncounterable... Screw your control and take the hit like a man
Genesis Hydra x-cost big baddie and a searcher for a finisher/blocker
Kalonian Hydra makes himself bigger as well as cards like Genesis Hydra, Prime Speaker Zegana and Polukranos, World Eater plus trample. Awesom to play and swings as at least 8/8 on first attack
Polukranos, World Eater 5/5 for 4 and can clear out annoying creatures
Arbiter of the Ideal
flier which is super beneficial and the inspired trigger yanks more cards off the top of my deck to flood the field faster
Progenitor Mimic copy one of my big guys like Kalonian Hydra or
Arbiter of the Ideal
to bring it in for the finish or copy an opponent creature to match up with them
finishers
Thassa, God of the Sea unblockable maker and scry
Nylea, God of the Hunt trample giver
Archetype of Imagination ground the opponent and swing over with flying for the kill
misc utility
Soul of New Phyrexia give my guys indestructible to avoid board wipes
primespeaker zegana
card draw
Chord of Calling yank a finisher from the deck
Kruphix, God of Horizons
unlimited hand size and mana that doesn't empty for bigger Polukranos, World Eater or Genesis Hydra or Chord of Calling and I don't have to worry about discarding after a draw from
primespeaker zegana
Polymorphist's Jest combo with tramplers to make sure my damage goes through or avoid a big hit against me
Phyrexian Revoker avoid Elspeth, Sun's Champion neg 3 ability
oh and some of you may be wondering where kiora went, well, she didn't fit in all too well unfortunately, but I liked the name...
