Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Animar is a great commander for X-hydras. For every +1 on Animar, there is a reduction in casting costs. This deck is curious about how far we can take that. \n\nThe strategy is to field Animar, increase the tokens attached to it then cast an X-hydra. There are cards to assign opponent damage on creature entry. Then sacrifice the hydra and harvest the counters with cards like the Ozolith etc. There are other cards that will give you benefits or damage your opponents from the sacrifice. The counter package will help amplify the +1 counter gain on Animar to make the next creature cast that much bigger. Then you repeat until things scale out of control. It is 100% possible to have a collection of overpowered hydras swinging against your opponents. It's also possible to win through some of the other mechanics. \n\nThis deck was playing with the mechanics of running a counter pump and dump. If you are interested in using it or something similar, consider adding some more protection. Stay away from cascade cards because the x-hydras will often be 0/0 unless you cast them. Same with graveyard pulls, use cards that let you cast them. \n\nBig stompy hydras are fun and things get really interesting when they aren't there but you can still feel their effects.\n\nHopefully it will be a wild and crazy ride.\n"}]}
