UBG Hydras deck constructed from pieces of my other hydras deck I built for modern but turned out to suck ass. Hopefully this one doesn't suck ass, we shall see. Maybeboard is cards I bought for the deck but then cut. Acquireboard is an aspirational thing if my playgroup elevates their overall power level.

Strategy is relatively simple. Ramp ramp ramp, cast Zaxara, cast a bunch of X cost spells, run everyone over with hydras. Probably gonna be vulnerable to removal and control, but that's life. Can't make every deck like Feather with recurring protection spells.

Most of the monetary value of the deck is in the manabase. Was trying to stay out of the $20+ cards for casual purposes, but losing to mana screw is the worst thing in Magic so I kinda went in on the lands.
