Deck discussion for elvish hydra counter

First, get it down to 60. This is a no-brainer.

Next, to really boost your mana production, if you switch out your spells like farseek and Nature's lore, you can add in things like Utopia Sprawl, giving you more green mana symbols on the battlefield and allowing you to run nykthos. You've also got a fair little bit of token manipulation, which might make gyre sage an option for a big mana producer.

Omnath would allow you to save mana between turns for big 'monstrous' activations.

Bigger picture, though. I'm not sure why you're running the counter-spells. If it's to protect your creatures, in green, indestructibility is much easier and more accessible, because you don't have to splash for it. Counterspell is great and all, but it's hard to justify splashing blue for it when it's ALL you're splashing blue for. If you run blue because you play with people who are really counter-happy, consider Guttural Response and/or Vexing Shusher, which can save you a major blue headache.
