Deck Description

This is fun green deck made of miscellaneous "Devotion to Green" and "Hydra" cards.

The goal being: drop a bunch of green creatures raising your devotion to green total.
Then play some BIG ass Hydra's by pumping them with as much X mana as we can muster.

Quite a few cards come into play with counters or give counters to cards. This combo's nicely with the Kalonian Hydra who doubles counters on all cards when it attacks.

What about removal I hear you ask? Pfff... who needs removal when you've got pure brute force size behind you!

Some noteworthy mentions:

Aspect of Hydra:
Pump one of your attackers (either Syr Faren or the Wild Beastmaster) drastically increasing your attacking output as you buff 2 or more creatures during the attack. If both Syr Faren AND the Wild Beastmaster are attacking - order the stack so that Syr Faren buffs the Wild Beastermaster first, which increases ALL attackers power. It can get nasty here.

Snakeskin Veil
Protection from spot removal and creates a counter on a creature which synergises nicely with the Kalonian Hydra.

Ring of Kalonia
Gives a creature TRAMPLE and adds an extra counter each turn. Counters on creatures double when the Kalonian Hydra attacks.
