The freshmint deck. If Einstein played magic, he would say compounding +1/+1 counters are the most powerful force in Modern. And he would be right

The deck focuses on getting out any two of Kalonian Hydra + Primordial Hydra + Solidarity of Heroes to create a force of compounding counters too fast to handle.

Draw any two of Arbor Elf + Voyaging Satyr + Fertile Ground + Overgrowth and it can net you your first Hydra by turn 3 at the earliest.

Get into the late game and you will have attacks in the several thousands of counters (with trample).

Example Perfect Hand

  1. Turn 1 - Forest, Arbor Elf
  2. Turn 2 - Forest, Overgrowth
  3. Turn 3 - Forest, tap Overgrowth mana twice via Arbor Elf for 8 mana to cast Kalonian Hydra and Voyaging Satyr
  4. Turn 4 - Forest, cast Primordial Hydra for 12 total mana (Overgrowth land tapped 3 times via Arbor and Satyr) and 10 +1/+1 counters. Attack with Kalonian Hydra to double its counters to 8 and Primordial's to 20
  5. Turn 5 - Double Primordial Hydra 's counters to 40 during upkeep. Cast Mistcutter Hydra with 6 mana for 5 +1/+1 counters and haste. Cast Solidarity of Heroes on Kalonian Hydra , Primordial Hydra , and Mistcutter Hydra to double their counters to 16, 80, and 10 respectively. Attack with all 3 Hydras, and all counters double again via Kalonian. 32+160+20 = 212 dmg dealt by turn 5
