Animar Hydra-oriented deck looking to abuse some combination of +1/+1 counters and his cost-reduction effect to give a little Hydra addition by subtraction.

Notable Omissions:

Khalni Hydra - I wanted to use every reasonable hydra I could, but Khalni just didn't fit the bill. It doesn't use +1/+1 counters, and it isn't reduced by Animar's effect. I'm more about quality over quantity, so it just didn't mesh.

Rock Hydra - It's an old Hydra that might have some use. Not a whole lot of red sources in the deck though. Wording on card is weird.
