Deck Description

After seeing some red/green mana ramp decks being played in the local game shop, I thought I would put together one. Hydras are typically the largest creatures in the game, and this relies on being able to just get a shitload of mana to cast a big hydra, and then just keep swinging with it. Walls were thrown in to help defend in early game, however, other creatures, including the X cost hydras can serve the same purpose.

How to Play

Typically I look for a hand with at least 1 forest and mountain, and at least one way to get mana out quickly( either exploration or expedition map, hopefully both). From there I try to get mana out and potentially cast a vernal bloom, although it is not always needed. Cast the walls ASAP if you are playing an Aggro creature deck.

Might think about taking out Spellbreaker Bohemoth since all your hydras have 0 power when cast and only gain power through counters obtained by entering the battlefield.
