How to Play

Ramp mana up as fast as possible and churn out hydras as quickly as you can, getting a bunch of hydra tokens via Broodmaster is a must in order to be offensive, use Mistcutters for timed swings. Many cards in this deck allow much more mana to be used than you have lands, or synergize with tapping lands. Use Gravity Well for rendering flying creatures obsolete, and take advantage of Spidersilk Net to augment you Caryatids. Revealing Wind can be used to immediately stop a potentially game breaking assault in the early game. Making it to late game can mean 16 16/16 Swings, or even well over 25 25/25 swings.


Possible combos:
1. Unified attack on enemy player with Prized Unicorn and a Phyrexian Hydra that has Titanic Growth will instantly win any game through poison counters if the attack isn't countered through a spell when Ranger's Guile isn't active/in your hand.
2. Using Nissa's -7 with a Oran Reef Hydra on the board can achieve massive damage and is almost a guaranteed win when it's not countered.

-Note for Sideboard: If you feel like you're going against heavy aggression be sure to look into throwing in sideboard cards.
