I've been playing Gargos mono-Green hydras for years now, and got tired of waiting for a dedicated hydra (Zaxara doesn't count) commander with more colors, so here we are. This deck is stompy green in a nutshell, with blue and red adding a couple neat hydras and some much needed variety in removal. The primary gameplan is to get Animar down early and ramp as hard as you can to cast bigger and bigger creature (hydra) spells to eventually overwhelm your opponents through sheer numbers in addition to effects like Overwhelming Stampede to help close out games, all the while drawing tons of cards off of effects like Greater Good, Garruk's Uprising, and Shamanic Revelation to keep the party going.
