Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"A fairly straightforward but fun stompy hydra deck. (In my biased opinion.) \n\nUtilizing Bright-Palms ability to double counters, we make use of Hydras, who famously are made out of counters like a Baral player's soul is made of licorice and sardines. The game plan is simply, turn a hydra into a world ending monster. While this IS in fact a 3 color deck, it is very green heavy. Counters and hydras will do that to a fox. \n\nKalonian Hydra, Managorger Hydra, and Phytohydra reliably give themselves counters, and are good options for who gets to be doubled by our foxy friend's effect. Other hydras offer useful effects and support. Whiptongue is flying hate for that one guy who brought flying tribal for some reason, Goldvein Hydra grants obscene amounts of treasure tokens, The handful of non-Hydra creatures exist because power-scaling manadorks in a Hydra Counter deck is helpful. \n\nSpecial shout out among the support hydras to Warden of the Grove. Undisputed GOAT. With any amount of counter doubling or +1-ing, this thing grows FAST and will give your deck some good speed by making your hydras enter even bigger-er than they already were, or just let you straight up X = 1 cast them and still get a solid creature out of it. \n\nTwo separate riot enablers grant you easy access to haste and or more counters, and Polukranos is there just because i think it's a cool card. That's it. It's not one of the Hydras who is counter reliant, he's just chill. If nothing else he's a body that gives more bodies if you flip him. \n\nGeneral gameplan is pretty straight forward: Ramp into playing some draw and counter engines, Garruk's Uprising, Tribute to the World Tree, Hardened Scales, etc. Try to get a counter-having hydra out, then once it's summoning sickness wears off, cast your commander, backup the ready to attack hydra, and start doubling. \n\nPrioritze protecting your big swinging Hydras, worst case if you have to re-cast your commander, you get to trigger Backup again.\n\nAll in all, a straightforward deck, but one I've personally enjoyed making and testing. As with many decks, it's ability to spiral out of control is mostly dictacted by chance, and how much interaction you run.\n\nIf you want to modify the deck here's some suggestions:\nAs a player I don't typically enjoy tutors, but Worldly and Enlightened tutor to fish out specific hydras/enchantments absolutely would make this deck stronger and more consistent.\nLastly, as far as like, game changers go since i skipped adding any, Jeska's Will is a shoe-in for the mana alone, much less the impulse draw. Right timing with it can lead to some big X cost values.\n\nApex Devastator - Hear me out. I didn't add it because cascading into an X cost hydra is useless, BUT if you have specifically a high +1/+1ed Warden of the Grove and/or a riot enabler, it can be a REALLY funny way to dump some hydras out. Or just get more of your other useful cards played. \n\nAnywho, hope anyone reading this enjoys the deck. \nPS Molten Hydra is a funny card and deserves more love okay bye\n"}]}
