Deck Description

ANY COMMENTS OR INPUT IS WELCOME.
Any thoughts you have on this deck, card ideas, weak points (and ways to solve them), and playing tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Wins: 5
Losses: 1

Flavor:
This deck is meant to encompass a legion of beasts, humanoids, and monsters of the endless wilds. These legionaries are commanded by their Divine General, Nylea, God of the Hunt, and their Lieutenant, Nissa. They hold command over the protection of nature's deepest wilds, and utilize the powers of deep-rooted growth and chaotic ferocity to crush their opponents.

How to Play

Mechanics:
The goal of this deck is to boost both small creatures and large creatures alike with +1/+1 counters and multiply them for an unstoppable exponential growth. In the early stages, the smaller CMC creatures will help protect you from Aggro decks, and allow you to build up mana with sorcery spells. Once enough mana is build up mid-game, playing the larger creatures and utilizing their +1/+1 counters will boost themselves as well as all other creatures.
The Hydras (Primordial, Kalonian, and Managorger) are key creatures of this deck that can be used in timely combos with Nissa's abilities and other spells that give +1/+1 counters to grow themselves and other to enormous sizes. By doubling +1/+1 counters on already big creatures and combining those with abilities like Intimidate, Deathtouch, and Trample, you can swing in at the end for a crushing final strike.
As for preventing unfavorable situations, Instants like Naturalize and Fog should help prevent against pesky artifacts and enchantments, and protect yourself and your creatures early on/in bad moments. These can be switched out with other cards (such as Heroic Intervention, Alpha Authority, Avoid Fate, and Canopy Cover) to protect against other scenarios.
The Sideboard of this deck has a list of creature and non-creature spells that I think sounded similar to the idea or were cool, and they can be switched out as needed (although some of them are quite expensive and are really there just as wishful eye candy.
