Nissa, Hydra Breedmaster

by PoetMaster-X on 19 September 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

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

Standard, Mono-Green ramp/Devotion...

How to Play

Most is clear I assume... ...Hooded Hydra is pretty cool with Chord of Calling... ...See the Unwritten is very good against control decks that run wipes, cuz even though it may bring only 1 creature when there's no other on the field, it can dig deeper into your library for that 6 mana & when your creatures & with them, your Devotion is wiped out, than if you have 6-7 mana, See the Unwritten is many times better than Genesis Hydra, though it's best to play all of both against mass-control... ...Windstorm destroys Spirit tokens for a couple mana & can deal with an opponent's Hornet Queen easily as well, though it can also wipe out any bigger flyers, especially with the ramp in this deck.......

Sultai Flyaer & Life's Legacy usually comes in against aggro, but Legacy is also great against control...


Any ideas for improvement??

Deck discussion for Nissa, Hydra Breedmaster

You can only spend X on the Hydra when you're casting it. Also, you can't use Chord of Calling for alternative costs, such as morph.

What made you say that?? I don't get it... ...many think when I'm talking about the Hydra & Chord that I think I can search for the Hydra with it... ...I'm talking about the Hydra's tokens to help cast Chord... ...I don't get it why ppl don't see that that's what I'm talking about.......

I'm well aware that I can only cast cards with Chord according to CMC & not any other type of alternative cost...

Though I thank you for you wanted to help... ...any ideas for improvement?..

Ah. Was trying hard to find a combo, and missed the convoke. Sry bout that buddy. I really like the 1 Life's Legacy in your other Abzan Superfriends deck, and think it could be good in this deck as well.

I originally had 1 in the main deck, but figured it's better this way... ...I only need it against control...

I believe you could use another genesis in the main and one more boon but I love it still. the hooded hydra with convoke is a perfect plan I think.

Thanks, mate!

The 2 Boon is perfect, there are multiple reasons why I don't need more & the 2 Genesis mainboard is also fine, cuz it could turn out bad if I cast it for 6-7 mana & if I draw 2+ early on it'd slow me down... ...I'd use 2 more Genesis instead of the 2 Chord if Hooded Hydra haven't come out though...

When I first saw the deck I thought the same but you really don't need another anywhere

I ran the Mono G/B Devotion pre-rotation and I loved it. Of course why wouldn't I love dropping a Sylvan Primordial T2. Regardless, I find that these lists are remarkably prone to drawing nothing but mana dorks and having nearly no out unless you rip a Genesis Hydra off the top for X=6. The R/G devotion list that looks nearly identical to this is also really good since you are able to use Xenagos PW and Xenagod. Just a thought, but as it stands this list is not bad since Nissa is a game winner.

YUP... ...she is, but Broodmaster is my usual finish... ...Hooded Hydra dies, I get tokens, cast Chord & get a Broodmaster out.......
