I want to say you should add in some resurrection, like Disentomb, just in case your Hydra gets Cancel'd or Murder'd, but I don't exactly know what you should take out for it. The highest cost in your deck is 4, but you have 23 lands. Maybe you could do 20 lands and add 3 Disentomb?

In Zendikar, I was using a Vampire deck that was kind of like this deck; loads of super cheap costing creatures. I only needed about 18 land, and this deck is way cheaper costing than the one I was using. Have you considered using 18 lands instead of 20? You could use those 2 slots for Sudden Disappearance or something.
If you're going to combo Hydra and Corpsejack, why not add 4 Sheltering Word? It's insanely good. You can take out Ranger's Guile for it, easily. It has the Hexproof effect anyway, and you don't need the +1/+1 that badly since it isn't a counter.
Feel free to call me a total noob, but I can pay X = 0 on Killing Wave and choose not to pay the 0 so all my tokens die, right? Just want to make sure of that.
Good idea, but hard to decide what to take out. Maybe -1 Undying Evil, -1 Disentomb, +2 Jarad's Orders?Honestly, though, while it does rely on Tree a lot, you can have a decent game with just Chalice, Blood Artist, and suiciding creatures.
Try taking out a little land for cheap creatures who tap for mana, like Arbor Elf or Llanowar Elves. This way, you'll still have your mana if you draw them early, and if you draw them late game, it's an easy Vengevine resurrection. You could try that. That's how I got beat by this. He only had 2 or 3 actual lands out when he beat me both times.
Just lost to this in a tournament last week. Very nasty.
Pretty cool deck idea. I'd personally take out the draw effects for changelings or coat of arms.
