Nothing really beats the outlast mechanic then when the creatures enter with counters, ah Hydras :) The Idea is pretty straight forward:
Mana: Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid: Use these guys to get a lil advantage in playing the hydras early and the caryatid to help fix mana.
Outlast Abzan Falconer: This guy is the only one who made the cut for mainboard cause its hard to beat the ability to make a hydra fly.
Heroic
Phalanx Leader
: Hit him with a few spells and bingo, counters everywhere.
Hydras:
Mistcutter Hydra
,
Hooded Hydra
, and Genesis Hydra: These three guys are the heavy hitters of the deck. I choose these three cause they all enter with counters on them to play off of outlast. The
Mistcutter Hydra
is great due to his pro blue, cant be countered, and haste. The
Hooded Hydra
, apart from his counters, makes a pretty good wall upon his death by throwing out some 1/1s which can be very mean if you hit the
Phalanx Leader
with a spell and give em all a 1/1 counter. Genesis Hydra obviously for his ability to find the cards I need.
Planeswalker: Ajani, Mentor of Heroes Obvious choice due to his ability to generate counters and searching for creatures.
Instants:
Reap What Is Sown
and
Feat of Resistance
: Pretty self explanatory, so ya......
Enchantments: Brave the Sands and Hardened Scales: Amazing enchantments. Brave the Sands so great for its vig and blocking, but Hardened scales is the corner stone. It literally makes the counters blow up, especially if you are hitting the
Phalanx Leader
Opinions on how it can be tweaked would greatly be appreciated, especially for the sideboard, which as you can see is mostly situational outlast bonuses and enchantment removal
