This deck seeks to play out and call upon monstrous Hydras. There are cards meant to ramp up your mana and be able to have huge creatures in the early game.

Some of these synergies include:Opening Hand: 2x Forest, 2x Burning-Tree Emissary , Elvish Mystic, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, and Nylea, God of the Hunt.Playing a Forest first turn to cast an Elvish Mystic. Second turn playing Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, and using Elvish Mystic and a Forest to play Burning-Tree Emissary , then another Burning-Tree Emissary , which uses its mana to use Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to add more mana, which will be used to cast Nylea, God of the Hunt. All during turn two.

Another synergy is using Voyaging Satyr to un-tap Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to add more mana dependant on your devotion.

A game changer is basically any hydra that has add x counters.

The side board has many spells that can cover some of the weaknesses here, such as protection from other colors, and attacks against flying.

This is a work in progress and input would be greatly appreciated. Although all advice will be welcomed a hydra themed deck will be kept in mind.

The idea for this deck emerged from my love for the hydra cards, hatred towards my friends (not really), and from various other hydra decks.
