This deck features a whole lot of mana ramp as well as many different win conditions. Its a frequent turn five win with an occasional turn four win.

In your starting hand you're looking for: 2-4 lands (basic or non-basic), 1-2 mana dorks, either a couple hydras or a Predator Ooze , and an enchanment/sorcery.

Turn 1: Land - Mana Dork

Turn 2: Land - Mana Dork - Elvish Archdruid

Turn 2 (alternative): Land - Predator Ooze

Turn 2 (second alternative): Land - Mana Dork - Mana Dork - Mana Dork

Turn 3: Land - Primordial Hydra or other Hydra or Predator Ooze and an enchantment, or more mana dorks

Turn 4: Land - More Hydra fun plus Predator Ooze fun plus trample fun (if you played a Predator Ooze turn 2 then you can use Gigantiform here and swing with a 10/10 indestructible with trample)

Turn 5: Swing for lethal, if you can't, play more hydras and enchantments and swing for lethal next turn

Cards to consider:

Gigantiform - turns anything into an 8/8 with trample, for example, a hydra that already has numerous +1/+1 counters on it. Probably my favorite combo with it is dropping a Predator Ooze turn 2 and the gigantiforming it turn 4 and swinging with a 10/10 indestructible with trample that gets bigger every time he attacks

Rancor- key ability=trample, and unless you exile it it never goes away.

Vines of Vastwood- protection from removal

Primordial Hydra- just keeps getting nastier and nastier mwahaha.

Kalonian Hydra- considering almost all my creatures obtain considerable amounts of +1/+1 counters this card is incredibly fun to have on the board

Mistcutter Hydra - immediate impact on the game and can't be countered

Predator Ooze - 3 drop indestructible that slowly becomes too much to deal with, or not so slowly if you Gigantiform it or use Increasing Savagery ... Or both.

Khalni Hydra - Casting an 8/8 with trample for free is just fun.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx- with all the green mana symbols in my permanents I can tap this for ridiculous amounts of mana, and with Voyaging Satyr I can do it again
