This is a mono-green deck based around getting Khalni Hydra out, for free, as well as using other cards based around plentiful creatures on your field. If all works well, you can even play Khalni free on turn 2! Here are the cards that the deck wouldn't work without:
Khalni Hydra
: This guy is the main man of the army, counting more on quantity than quality of his troops. He is the card that the whole deck is built around, mainly because he can be a free 8/8 with trample. If you can't get out Khalni for free, you can still get him out for 2-3 mana, and with his stats that is a definite want. Plus, if you play
Nylea's Disciple
after, you'll have at least 15 more life than what you started with.
Courser of Kruphix: The Courser is an excellent card, and that's because it has four uses. First, it reveals the top card of your library, so you know how to base your strategy for your next turn. Second, it gives you life, and instead of paying mana for that effect, you gain some. Third, it's a super cheap deck thinner so you can get to the cards you want. Last of all, it has 4 toughness, which means it can hold a defense pretty easy. The Courser is like a swiss army knife of greatness.
Lead the Stampede: I cannot begin to say how awesome this card is. You can steal up to five creatures from your deck and have them ready to play instantly, and you'll never get nothing because creatures make up half of this deck. Paired with Courser of Kruphix or
Garruk's Horde
, you can, as an extra bonus, see one of the cards you'll get.
Green Sun's Zenith: This one is an amazing search card (maybe that's why it's banned), plus you can replace its mana spent by searching for Dryad Arbor, which has converted mana cost 0.
BONUS AWESOME TURN 2 HYDRA COMBO:Turn 1: Dryad Arbor, Play Green Sun's Zenith to search another Arbor, tap the Arbor for
Elvish Mystic
.Turn 2: Play Forest, tap forest, another Green Sun into Arbor, tap all four creatures to play 4 Fyndhorn Elves, place
Khalni Hydra
down and watch your opponent weep. Win by turn four.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this deck, and I hope you win many battles! Unless you're facing me. Then I hope I win. Cuz I'm great.
