Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Heads are gonna roll and there will be a lot of them with this iteration of a Hydra tribal deck using "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zaxara, the Exemplary"}},{"insert":" as our commander. \n\nI elected to stick with spell ramp ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kodama's Reach"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Three Visits"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nature's Lore"}},{"insert":", etc...) instead of the using a green mana dork ramp package however there are a few that did fit with our theme of X spells and sub theme of +1/+1 counters such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gyre Sage"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Biophagus"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nexos"}},{"insert":". \n\nMain theme we will be using is X spells. We have X spells trigger off of our commander which if it is on the battlefield is just straight value making a token with every X spell. \nThe second card for our X spells theme and arguably the most important is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Unbound Flourishing"}},{"insert":". This is the \"turbo\" of the deck and I have included some tutors "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Demonic Tutor"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grim Tutor"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Diabolic Tutor"}},{"insert":" to get it out of our library and into our hand.

I did not have any mana issues. I was able to stick "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Freed from the Real"}},{"insert":" on to "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zaxara, the Exemplary"}},{"insert":" and get his infinite blue mana combo going. Which was a pleasant surprise, however, doing so lead me to getting killed uniting the table against me! \nOverall, I am pleased with how the deck performed at this point and I don't see any need for updates at this time.\n \nAs usual if you have any comments or good ideas or cards that I missed please feel free to leave a comment.\nThanks for taking the time to look at this deck.\nHappy Gaming \nAE3 Franks\n"}]}
