No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I had this deck planned in my head, then I told myself "northy must have made a deck like that, but in budget" so I checked and he has one!
I got farhaven elf, boundless realms, and elvish archdruid from him, so this deck is the expensive version of NorthernWarlord's "Budget Decks: Hydras"
Mine is more concentrated on doubling counters
Thanks Northy!

How to Play

Mana ramp with elves to cast huge hydras that double their counters each turn!
Also keep the mana with omnath, locus of mana to save up for spawnsire of ulamog's ability! Don't forget you can tap lands for mana, so do it with your spare lands! Your hydras would also benefit from this.
Get a kalonian and a primordial on the battlefield and you will be unstoppable!

Deck discussion for Ramping for Hydras

If you just change primal vigour to doubling season, this deck would be modern legal?

Yeah, I took it out to make it less expensive, but what the heck!

Haha! The perfect deck for heroes' bane! Sorry it doesn't have trample, maybe rancor?

Also, asceticism is very important, then you'll really be unstoppable!

DUDE! You made a hydra deck ... we've come full circle, especially since Northern gave me credit on his Simic Hydras deck!

I like the deck, but ... maybe 1 less set of elves and one more hydra?

I tried that but not enough ramp
What's the mono green card that makes mana stay after the end of the turn?
I'm thinking about adding that and spawnsire of ulamog

Found it, it's omnath, locus of mana
Just need to add Eldrazi to sideboard( technically not, but so people can see them)

Oh crap ... this is one crazy eldrazi deck ...

Take out the hydras and add 4 elves (look at from the vault 20, there's an elf there). Next add 2 more spawnshires. Then add several green Sun's Zeniths. Next, take out your doubling season and focus on trample enchantments. Finally, buy progenitus.

Congrats, your deck is now broken.

Just take the Eldrazi out of here. You know, you don't want to spoil the surprise. And you need to protect Spawnshire ... how about lightning greaves, whispersilk cloak, etc.

This sir, is your magnum opus.
