You need a way of tapping Gilder Bairn in order to use his ability. I'd recommend the good old Gilder Bairn + Paradise Mantle + Training Grounds tactic for unlimited counters

Also if you're just using Gilder Bairn I would recommend Vorel of the Hull Clade .

Jakee OH!That's what that symbol means. I'll just throw in Predator Ooze then to help with devotion..and it still fits the theme. Good?

I just 2 swung for over 1000 damage. He was playing a Maze's end so he kept preventing the damage.

Thank you for all the up vote guys.

Nice!!!

Cool deck I like the idea. It would be a big help if you could check out my deck at: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/mono-green-devotion-first-tappedout-deck/ It would be sweet if you could give me some advice.

TheOnlyCub Yeah I can look at it and see if I have any suggestions.

Yes, I like it. I love the turn you took here, the abuse of counters looks fun. Let me know how it works for you.

Dalektable Yeah the devotion wasn't working but i still wanted to mana ramp. I always wanted to do a hydra deck and someone brought to my attention Kalonian Hydra doubles every bodies counters, so I just kind of went off those three ideas. I appreciate the support. Thank you.

I was playing a Maze's end deck and they kept preventing the damage but my guys kept bugging better. I finally won swinging for over 1000. I think it was like 1700 and some. We kind of stopped keeping track. But yeah it's played pretty well. The only deck that has beat it sp far is a deck that gets rid of my hand. But I haven't played it too much.

Mabey against hand killer decks you could add Witchbane Orb to your side bord

Oops sorry about the double post but mabey you could switch Llanowar Elves for Arbor Elf because he can untap a land with Utopia Sprawl for double mana.

HydraOoze I hadn't thought about that! I really like that idea. Thank you for the suggestion.

Now to pick between Elvish Mystic or Llanowar Elves

HydraOoze. That other suggestion is really good too. Those decks that make me discard give me lots of troubles. Thank you again.

I have a similar deck, just with more mana ramp. Although it's not legal in modern you might be able to get some ideas from it.

nice deck +1 i like the use of Doubling Season and Utopia Sprawl hadn't thought of that

Tried out the deck and had 3 Doubling Season and got Protean Hydra to a 192/192 with 2 Increasing Savagery +1 Upvote

your sideboard is off, you need something like Obstinate Baloth and Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Dismember

chocolate101 really none of those fit into my deck. I'm not using removal because this deck is a race to see who gets bigger forst, which will always be me. I'm then trampling over. Melira, Sylvok Outcast doesn't fit into this deck because it doesn't matter quite frankly. I know what you're thinking, well that's double the infect counters. But not really. It's just minus two counters at first and then I just double whatever is left. And to be honest I'd probably just let the infect go through and hit me because I'm just going to smash them in the face for 20+ the next turn. Infect is too little of an issue for this deck. Idk if I'd even call it an issue. Obstinate Baloth comes close to being a side board option, but I'd rather just play Witchbane Orb and protect everything. I'm not going to win with Obstinate Baloth . I'm going to need a lot more. So i need to protect more.

Adding onto my above comment, chocolate101, the reason the discard deck is a problem is that it does massive damage once I get less than 3 cards in my hand. So i need to protect myself from abilities, not my creatures.

ok, but some infect decks can beet you on turn one, even if the decks is crappy, turn 2 win, and the most you will have then is ramp creatures

chocolate101 Well if they beat me on turn one, and sometimes on turn 2, with infect than melira wouldn't matter anyways.

turn 2 melira might save you

chocolate101 if I'm going second then it wont. Even still, I never come across fast infect. The only infect that I see are in artifact decks. Idk if that's because you don't see it often in modern...I think that's the case since I play online a lot. But either way, I need to build decks for what I see. The only fast infect deck I've seen is the unblockable infect deck, and those decks aare pretty inconsistent.

+1 love Kalonian Hydra it makes for tons of fun and if they don't answer it the game usually ends quickly after
