Based on two-turn Hydras!

Even though I haven't quite had my hydras come out on turn 2 - I have gotten then out on turn 3 and 4 with some greater regularity than I have otherwise play-testing Dalektable's deck.

Having said that, this is so fun! Beats face down by Turn 5.

Looking for suggestions with sideboard to face the meta. I added Triumph of Ferocity because I can get Leatherback Baloth and Kalonian Tusker out with some regularity. I always have a play with this deck and maybe mulligan 1 in 10 times, which if you're me, is really good. I love Primalcrux , but usually by the time I can make GGGGGG - I have at least two creatures out and can put Hydra on the board. Still looking for suggestions - and I'm happy this deck is so inexpensive for it's competitiveness.

Edit

Finally got the gumption to play this deck, but it was a leaned out version that I don't have listed yet. Things I've decided I need to add are the Courser of Kruphix and Garruk Wildspeaker - this will help the ramp in case I draw poorly. I had to ditch my beloved Kalonian Tusker though :( such a good card. But I figure as long as I'm running the geist, things are good. Anyway game breakdown:

Game 1: Vs Red Deck Wins Straight forward - Vexing Devil + Lightning Bolt spam. I won this handily because he drew poorly and I drew great. Landing creatures almost every turn kept the pressure on him. He used up all his burn spells on my never-ending army of critters every turn and by turn 4 he had played out most of his hand and I crushed him with a 12/12 Chromastomp.

Game 2 Vs Red Deck Wins Again: Same idea, Rift Bolt + Bump in the Night. It was a low low mana curve deck that just played out too quick. On turn 3 I played the Chromaton at 10/10 - the next turn I played the Hydra. This deck saw me overwhelm him with Aspect of Hydra for the 2-0 win.

Game 3 Vs Delver Aggro/Control: On a high by now, and surprised my Timmy Deck was doing so well - I beat face. He drew badly and I drew great again. He had to go really deep for the mana to do what he wanted and Delver of Secrets ^Flip never flipped before turn 3 or 4. I was able to come over the top with Aspect of Hydra both games for the win...attacking all out - even with mana dorks to throw him off. 2-0!

Game 4: Delver Aggro. This one worked pretty well. I beat him the first game - it was close, but I was able to get my creatures over the top. Game 2 he side boarded a lot and drew very well, handing me my first loss. I couldn't play anything, because i had no mana dorks and no forests to cast 3+. Last game was quick too, but he had two Delvers out and they both turned on turn 3. I had too much mana and no fat creatures to play so he had me quickly. But I went home with second!
