Deck discussion for pestilent hydras

thats a nice mechanic, great control of the table, the question is how many turns would it take to get over 1 thousand creatures???

I like the idea behind this deck, but how exactly do you win with it?
Maybe I'm being a little thick or not seeing something here, but are you planning on simply doing 1 damage to every player until they scoop or die? Also, what if they're using a lifegain or, God forbid, flyers. I see no protection from flyers or something that would severely damage the opponent enough for you to actually pull out a win.

The concept is simple. The combo I put out allows me to do infinite damage to everything and everyone. I get out pesrilence to damage phytohydra, which copies itself when it takes damage, and that gives me mana via carnival of souls to keep hurting the new phytodra tokens. The only downfall is I need life gain to balance out the life loss from Carnival. Which is why the angelic chorus is here. Infinite life gain, and infinite damage, and nearly infinite creatures. Since I can activate pestilence as many times as I want per turn.

as for creature control... Pestilence does that.sure, I could throw spidersilk armor or something in the sideboard, but I really see no need for it.

No, you're right. I'm an idiot who didn't read Pestilence correctly. I didn't see that it was a pay ability, I thought it was a at the end of turn thing. Nvm. Excellent strategy. Superb deck!

No, its fine. I have done that so many times... Yeah. Felt like a complete moron. Anyways, regen is annoying, as in indestructible. But shroud and hexproof offer no protection. I should put in a save card that prevents damage to me so I can still run it on my opponent's turn as well. Know any cards that prevent damage to me but not to my creatures?

I know a card that'll stop all damage and gain you 1 life per damage prevented. Chant Of Vitu Ghazi. OH! Ethereal Haze should work. It prevents all damage that would be dealt by creatures this turn. Since Pestilence isn't a creature, you should be good. I hope that's something close to what you're looking for.
