This is a custom brew I came up with to try to match my table's power level. sideboard are cards I own, maybeboard is cards I want to add but need to buy.

green for ramp

blue for draw

red for control

the main win condition is to play a huge hydra and get it larger with things like Vorel of the Hull Clade, or Evolution Vat. If they have creatures just cast Surrak and give all your hydras trample

One alternate wincon is to draw yourself out with Laboratory Maniac.

the reason I cose to run this as Temur over Simic is that I wanted to use the cool strong red hydras like Savageborn Hydra or Apocalypse Hydra.

im looking for suggestions to smooth out the gameplay of this deck
