I would consider running less than 4 Asceticism . I get that it's extremely useful to draw, but having more than one in your hand or on the field will work against you.

Yeah thats true. Ive just played too many control decks where my creatures stood no chance. Ive considered taking out one or two Asceticism and putting in one or two more Ring of Kalonia

This deck has proved itself solid enough against veteran players, even with control decks. Rancor and Predator Ooze make it a lot faster and tougher to deal with than you might expect a mana ramp/creature heavy deck would be.

Also if you're afraid of control Thrun, the Last Troll and Troll Ascetic are really hard to get rid of.

Personally I run Dungrove Elder . It's so fun punching blue players in the face with huge green hexproof creatures >:)

It is fun haha. A Primordial Hydra with an Asceticism on the field and a Rancor on it is basically game over against those blue decks

And also the great thing about Asceticism is that it makes all my creatures incredibly difficult to deal with considering I've given most of them trample

Yeah I know, I just sideboard it if I'm not just playing with friends

With all the green in the mana costs, you might even consider adding Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , especially with Khalni Hydra in the deck.

davidtjones says... #10

I can definitely see the benefit of it

Kornex2000 says... #11

maybe you could change this up a bit, I would suggest adding in a few Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , Burning-Tree Emissary and deffinetely Craterhoof Behemoth to make all of your mana dorks not so funny anymore! :P haha just an idea. Plus you already have a lot of devotion with that hydra of yours.

Primalcrux . That is all.

davidtjones says... #13

All good ideas, if I did that I might add another Khalni Hydra . Ill definitely consider it thanks for the suggestions :)

Sweet deck, looks like tons of fun to play. +1

No Protean Hydra ?

March 21, 2014 4:51 p.m.

APPLE01DOJ says... #15

How about some Privileged Position as copies 3-4 of Asceticism .

It gives Asceticism hexproof itself.

Since this is a ramp deck, how about some Fracturing Gust on the SB?

March 21, 2014 5:32 p.m.

davidtjones says... #16

Its tons of fun, and thanks for the upvote :)

I considered protean hydra but i favor Mistcutter Hydra over it, it makes my deck faster.

I'll definitely consider Privileged Position but Fracturing Gust would destroy my Gigantiform as well, but maybe I'll add it to my sideboard

Just because he's a six cost 8/8 hydra and great if it's a multiplayer game. I only use him in multiplayer

March 25, 2014 11:22 p.m.

APPLE01DOJ says... #19

well I thought it would be fun for a ramp deck but yea sounds like Creeping Corrosion would be a better SB card.

March 25, 2014 11:54 p.m.

davidtjones says... #20

It is fun, and yeah maybe

Manapanda says... #21

Ha you're getting so many suggestions but here's another: Beast Within ? Not absolutely necessary but perhaps something to think about. +1, btw

I'd appreciate if you could look at Flash Flood. The hexproof stuff here would pose a problem for me, ha, hence Evacuation .

March 27, 2014 12:36 a.m.

davidtjones says... #22

Haha yeah I know, and its a good card but I get what I need without removal, the only thing that bothers me are artifacts and enchantments like Detention Sphere , hence the cards like Artisan's Sorrow , but thanks for the suggestion and upvote :)

I'll take a look at it. And bounce back cards are some of my least favorite to play against. With all my cards accumulating +1/+1 counters its rather irritating haha

Whitecap says... #23

Definitely a +1 from me, consider adding Voyaging Satyr for untapping Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Doubling Chant just for some salt in the wound left by Primordial Hydra .

March 28, 2014 10:55 p.m.

davidtjones says... #24

Thanks! And I'll definitely consider those. Arbor Elf has a similar purpose to Voyaging Satyr and Doubling Chant is just mean haha

March 28, 2014 11:03 p.m.

Whitecap says... #25

In most ways, except mana cost, Voyaging Satyr is better that Arbor Elf because its any land, not just forests, and you can use the floating mana generated by Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to tap it again
