Deck Description

This deck, on top of being super cheap, is aggro enough to get in some hits shortgame before comboing up your +1 counters with corpsejack menace and they hydras for insane amounts of trample damage

How to Play

Use your cheap creatures early-game to dish out some initial damage or to hold down the fort until you can get your Hydras and more importantly your corpsejacks out to start comboing those +1/+1 counters through the roof to swing for huge trample damage. Imagine this: t1 slitherhead; t2 strangleroot geist and block with slitherhead; t3 primordial hydra for 1; t4 corpsejack menace and hydra is 2/2, crack slitherhead for a 4/4 hydra; t5 hydra is 12/12 w/ trample, lay any other counter-boost cards and start swinging. OR, lay the menace first, then the hydra t5 for 3, enters as a 6/6, crack slitherhead for an 8/8; t6 the hydra is a 24/24

Incredible, right?! I know it needs a bit of work, let me know what you guys think!

Deck discussion for Over the Counter

I like the deck, however you are going to have to be able to protect your hydras, my friend uses primordial hydra and is always complaining about how it's never in play for longer than two turns because people go out of their way to destroy it, I recommend cards like Aspect of Mongoose or Privileged Position. Cool deck :)

I'm pretty sure this is standard but it's true: people dot want to let the Hydra stay for long. Ranger's Guile is a good answer to most removal.

I totally agree with you guys, the sideboard will have golgari charms for boardwipes and rangers guile to protect the hydras. Depending on our local meta (if there's tons of control decks) said cards will most likely be mainboarded
