Thoughts on how to improve this or decrease the Costst?

The idea of this deck is to gain a lot of mana early on to play stronger hydras, Increase the amount of counters on creatures, and play more powerful spells and hydras after every attack.

Combo: Step 1: play Branching Evolution + Unbound Flourishing . Then, play Apocalypse Hydra for at least 5 X. The value will double from unbound flourishing, again with branching evolution, and again from apocalypse hydra.

Step 2: Attack with Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient and apocalypse hydra before playing anything. Then play a hydra or spell that costs X, and you will automatically get X as apocalypse and Klauth's power without spending any mana. When you play the card, X will double or the card will be coppied, and the counters will double if it is a creature. X will be a greater value every turn that you play a creature this way.

For this combo, either enchantment will work and any creature will work. This is only the ideal set up.

Another new combo: play the hydra Heroes' Bane with Selvala, Heart of the Wilds on the field. Use Selva to rapidly increase your hydras power. for the cost of 1, you greatly increase your hydras power.

The equation I have for this combo is power = current power times 2 by the power of current power divided by 4.

This combo starts slow, but rapidly increases in power over time. You can also use the power of this card to play strong spells at a high x-value using klauth.

After testing this deck against some friends, I have learned just how powerful this deck is. It has won a mini tournament with a friend group and it seems competitive ready. It can eliminate multiple players in one turn with multiplayer, and it can destroy everything on the opponents battlefield with the cost of one card quite often.
