The deck is built around Aspect of Hydra + Groundbreaker

There is a potential turn 3 kill it goes something like this...

• turn 1: Birds of Paradise or Llanowar Elves


• turn 2: Leatherback Baloth or Steel Leaf Champion


• turn 3: Ground Breaker + Aspect of Hydra

At this point devotion is equal to 7 so Ground breaker or another creature gets +7/+7 for a total of 17/18 damage.

With the addition of Bloodbraid Elf the deck has more long game. The BBE plan is not central to the combo portion of the deck so a couple of Bloodbraid Elfs can come out to make room for specific SB hate.
