Here is the deck with the changes I made:http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/unleash-the-hydras/And I was serious about getting you those cards if you play with physical cards. I have 1x Nessian Wilds Raveger, 1x Primordial Hydra, 4x Heroes' Bane, and 3x Vastwood Hydra that I'll never use and no one wants in trade. Look me up on Facebook same user name as on here and we can work it out.

Turn two you most likely would want to drop more mana ramp Elves, Hind, or Caryatid so on turn three and or four you start dropping your big Hydras at that point you really won't need the Tuskers. You don't have to get rid of anything you don't want to tho.
Get rid of:2x Deus of Calamity1x Dungrove Elder3x Kalonian Tusker1x Rampaging Baloths2x Reverent Hunter1x Thragtusk1x Witchstalker1x RancorConsider adding/losing:Elvish Visionary (doesn't really give the card advantage that you need)Fog ( if you are going to have them might as well run four)Asceticism (at least two this card seems great)Elvish mystic (like you said about the hydras with X in their mana cost but there are plenty of powerful hydras that d have X in their mana cost)Planeswalker removalAdd:1x Elvish Mystic4x Llanowar Elves -or- Sylvan Caryatid1x Karmetra's Acolyte4x Scryb Ranger (to untap the acolyte for more ramp and chump block)4x Arbor Colossus -or- Skylasher (to handle flyers)Some kind of artifact and enchantment removalI'm gonna clone the deck to my account and fine tune the build. We should connect on Facebook I have a handful of hydras that I picked up when building my deck that I could send out to you if you are using physical cards.
I hadn't even thought about the insanity that could happen when you run Kruphix and Prophet of Kruphix. You are probably dropping Polukranos and Broodmaster for ridiculous amounts. I this build if you could check out my hydra deck:http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/hydra-devotion/Let me know what you think and check out some of my other decks if you get a chance.
I would suggest a more focused approach. Take some of you consider the best hydras, instead of trying to have them all. Add some more mana ramp; bump up the Elvish Mystic to four add some Llanowar Elves, Golden Hind, or Sylvan Caryatid. Since you are running modern you could add some Elvish Piper to cheat in your hydras for cheap. So instead of trying to hold out you can come out swinging and bring the fight to them. I hope this helps. If you get a chance check out some of my decks, particularly this one:http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/hydra-devotion/
This deck looks good, what turn are you able to start dropping some of your bigger guys? It seems like it would benefit from some mana ramp to help speed it up. Some Elvish Mystics, Golden Hinds, and/or if you can afford them Sylvan Caryatid. Check some of my decks and let me know what you think in particular you should check out my mono green devotion hydra deck:http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/hydra-devotion/
I like this deck and the name! the only suggestion I would make is maybe try Garruk, Caller Of Beasts for drawing up creatures but I imagine this deck runs just fine without it. Check out my mono green hydra deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/hydra-devotion/ Let me know if you have any suggestions and while you are at it check out some of my other decks as well.
This deck is great and it isn't really expensive. Could you check out some of my decks; like them, make suggestions and tell me what you think.
This is a powerful Bant Exalted it has most of if not all of the best exalted cards! Check out my standard Bant Aggro. http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/bant-aggro/
I like theme decks. What turn are you usually dropping your first worm? If I would make any suggestion I would put in some more mana ramp Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystics, Sylvan Cryatids.
How well does this deck stand up to to bigger monster threats or flying? It doesn't to have much of an answer for those. It is a great deck I've been playing since around 7th edition and elf decks were a thing back then and there wasn't much that could stop them! so it is great to see a great elf deck I really like the elf-druid synergy. Check out my mono green devotion deck http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/hydra-devotion/ Im going to check out some more of your stuff.
Thanx for the suggestion I like it!
This is a great modern merfolk deck! Check mine out http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/merfolk/
I like this deck! Seasinger to take control of their stuff; then the War Barge, Assassin comboto kill their stuff, looks like a lot of fun! Check out my merfolk deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/merfolk/
Merfolk decks are always fun, yours looks great p! Check out mine http://www.mtgvault.com/bppride817/decks/merfolk/
I've haven't had any real problems in any of the games I've played. If I don't have a good hand I mulligan, any further than four I'm obviously sunk but never had to go that far. I've never had to go that far because I either get the cards I need or I do what I've entitled a "ghetto entomb" if I have a hand I can work with at seven or six, Reanimate/Exhume a land or two and an angel, I take a few turns to draw and discard that angel and I'm good to go.
Have you played the deck in any tournaments, how has it done? The deck looks solid and that Preator is a beast with the grave-yard mechanics you are using here. I would like to do a build around Sheoldred! Check out this deck I run using the Entomb and Exhume/Reanimate combo: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=414006
Angel's are ridiculously overpowered and elves with their mana-ramp seem like an obvious choice in dropping such high priced angels. The Admonition Angels are some of the best in the game with their ability and as soon as you drop Avacyn, Angel of Hope you've effectively taken away your opponents hope. Check out the angel deck I built http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=414006
Thanx for the comment and suggestion. I've actually never ran across a real need for counterspells but that would be a particularly nasty card in this deck tho, I think I'll sideboard those.
I would agree it is kinda all over the place and the card count is a little high for that to work effectively. but find a primary and secondary win condition and focus the deck around that. If you are unsure about getting rid of some cards I would start with the Faith's Reward they are high cost and only really shine when you play them directly after a board wipe and you arent running any. I actually even opted those out of my deck since I have the Emeria Sky Ruin and that will return my creatures after I board wipe.
