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

The main purpose is to build enough mana to make Primordial Hydra extremely powerful when/if I get it out, but if I do not get the hydra out the deck can still stand on it's own. Please comment to help me improve this deck.

Looks pretty solid. I never really looked at Nissa before but I'm really digging that first ability... with that being said I would however make a couple of changes. Drop the eldrazi in favor of 4x khalni hydra. With all the one drop mana bots you already have it isn't uncommon to see him on turn three or four, awesome for early game pressure. And on the mana note, replace the greenweaver with Elvish archdruid. His synergy with the warcaller and primordial is stupid good, and it would fill the same slot in your curve, while buffing 90% of your creatures.
Other than that pull the umbra and troll hide for some combat tricks like primal bellow or even unnatural predation. You could also cut like 4-6 Forrests (test play to tweak) since you're going to be a little mana crazy once the elves get going... of you do I would look at worldly tutor for the planeswalker or primordial hydra, and either some flyer hate (wing puncture, plumet) or card draw (infiltration lense, mask of memory, even explore). Hope this helps, happy dueling

If this is an actual deck you are playing with it looks fine. If this is a theoretical deck there are some spots that could be helped with the right cards

Some that come to mind
4 x Genesis wave
3 x Primordial Hydra
4 x Untamed Might (what with all the mana you have)
2 x Overwhelming Stampede
4 x Copperhorn Scout

You'll have to find some cards to take out to fit all this though
