---

Budget hydra deck with an emphasis on landfall and passive counter buildup.

Features:

• Passively-building creatures that react to landfall or spellcasting.
• Every creature in the deck can become a massive threat, including the one-drops (especially the one-drops. SCERT MERB!)
• Built-in trample for nearly all of the larger creatures.
• Reliable and inexpensive land acceleration on a very forgiving mana curve.
• Considerable repeatable enchantment and artifact removal powers, along with some ability to counterspell or salvage creatures with bounce from global hits.
• Contains some answers for graveyard shenanigans.
• Strong in general with a lot of interaction options without being obnoxious or being overly "county".

Weaknesses:

• Limited creature removal. Not typically needed, hydras outpace most creatures in bigness.
• Weak to fliers, though hydras can typically outpace them in power.
• Weak to anti-creature globals, though it can bounce back very quickly and the primary counterspell can bounce creatures to save them.
• Does not utilize lifegain or extra draw momentum effects, arguably the weakest element of the deck.
• Limited recursion (no graveyard rezzing, flashback, totem armor, etc)
• Limited answers to hexproof, creature theft, and/or deathtouch (particularly if paired with first strike or poking)
• Has trouble killing Squee (but really, what deck doesn't?)
