My strategy is to drop an evolve creature and get it evolved once or twice in the first two turns, then drop an ordeal on it and get the effect on that swing. With strionic resonator I can either copy the counter placing effect or the on-sac effect for ludicrous value. Once I've either drawn some cards or emptied my deck of lands I follow up with a massive hydra. I can use plasm capture to stall the opponent and then make my next hydra even fatter (and strionic resonator works so well with plasm capture it makes my head spin). Prophet of Kruphix allows me to play Kalonian hydra on their turn and swing for intense amounts of damage the next turn, not to mention resonator+Kalonian=QUADRUPLE counters. Basically my strategy is a fast paced aggro-based ramp early game into very large scary creatures.

At the moment I'm looking for suggestions about new cards to consider for my strategy and cards I might possibly switch out for cards in my maybeboard.
