The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Devotion for Aspect of Hydra.Cheep, Big creatures for Ghalta. I think this'll work.
Main Plan:Ramp into Big threats and high amount of Devotion. Attack and use Aspect of Hydra on unblocked creatures / creatures with trample. 8 mana "dorks" helps get out 3 drops on turn 2. Arbor Elf + Utopia Sprawl is just insane mana ramp. Also, Utopia Sprawl doesn't die as easily as most other dorks. 2 and 3 mana creatures add a ton of devotion for Aspect of Hydra and a ton of power to reduce Ghalta.Aggressive Mammoth is a group wide Trample enabler on a large body. Rancor provides trample too. Both make Aspect of Hydra better. The elephant also provides 3 green for devotion. I don't think I need to speak about Ghalta.

Khalni hydra gets cheaper with each creature and eventually is a free cast, plus it's 8 devotion AND 8 power for ghalta

Good idea. Will keep it in mind as something to acquire.
Love khalni hydra.And this deck looks pretty sweet.
what about Vigor?
Vigor isn't a bad suggestion I think, although it is competing with aggressive mammoth, which gives everything trample.
that's true. So maybe 2 aggressive mammoth and 2 vigor. Maybe 2 copies of Nykthos for faster ramp with the devotion that you have going. Vigor will help to make your creatures bigger for the when aggressive mammoth comes in to give them all trample
Title is misspelled as 'Gahlta'
@leste1mrVigor is a great card. Will keep it in mind for when I make revisions. I even had a fun interaction vs mono black Vampires where the opponent misread Vigor. I blocked his Vampire Nighthawk, that was equipped with some power boosting equipment, with my Birds of Paradise. Proceeded to swing for lethal in the air the next turn :p@silvertuerkFixed
sounds good!!
While you already have the best pump for the deck, you may at least glance over Seal of Strength and Blossoming Defense. Asceticism I have not tested myself because I went to Collected Company route and hence have everything else less than 4cc except a single copy of Nylea. I have no elephant but 3x or 4x Rancor and a pair of Champion of Lambholts for evasion, instead. Collected company is not Ghalta but I admit that Ghalta seems more fun.I also wonder whether Khalni Hydra would work for insane devotion combo. Alas, if it starts to rely on that combo, then the deck probably needs some more evasion than late elephant combo such as Birds of Paradise, Champion of Lambholt or a full playset of Rancor.
Seal of Strength Is not Modern legal. Blossoming Defense is more a sideboard card, IMO. Vines of Vastwood might be better here as the creatures are already big, and Vines has a fringe up side of being able to make the opponent's creature untargetable for the turn, often "countering" the effect that would kill you.Asceticism is one of those cards that seems good on paper, but the turn you play it, it's a 5 mana do nothing. Personally, I'd prefer progressing my board. Khalni Hydra was suggested earlier. It is a great devotion tool, but requires a lot of smaller creatures to take full advantage of. BoP is great with Champion of Lambholt and with Vigor, but that feels like a different build for another time.
I would recommend some card draw because you're not as aggresive as Burn but if they stall long enough you'll end up empty handed and that is a good scenario you'll lose to. Might I recommend Harmonize or Momentous Fall? or Garruk, primal Hunter. The last two options can draw insane amounts of cards with your deck. And garruk can always make some beasties to press your attack with
Once I get a few games in and get a better feel for the deck, I'll see if card draw is needed. As for card draw options, Lead the Stampede interests me. It's not hard draw like what you suggested and only puts creatures into hand, but as a refill once empty, it puts more actual threats into hand. Similarly, Garruk, Caller of Beasts digs deep without a need for a big creature in play, and it can cheat in some extra creatures.But, as I said, play testing will see how much and of what type of draw will be necessary.
