Deck Description

Full Green Hydra Goodness! Pure Theros Block!

So I fancied trying to make a deck that I can tweak over the course of this year in preparation for 2015.

I tried to make sure all cards were theros block to make the deck last for a long time and also something that can be great fun when played right!

How to Play

Build hydras and steamroll.

Essentially the deck is all about surviving until you can get out big creatures. Build your mana quickly using mana creatures and karametras then pull out 12/12 mistcutters and massive monstrous broodmasters.

The deck forces enemies to have to control you. However the many options for fast efficient power allow you to override the enemy fairly easy.

Scourge of Skola vale makes a great 'insurance' card for the deck allowing you to keep strong creatures on the board in the event of instant kills and hero of liana tower is an early defender that can become a late game monstrosity when combined with lots of mana generation and solidarity. In some matches I have managed to get them up to 30/30+ throwing a tonne of mana their way when i was confident an enemy had burned their counters (obviously throwing a solidarity when buffed)

Solidarity of heroes can make or break a slow hand by efficiantly doubling up counter heavy hydras!

keep getting your spells cancelled? Then grab your creatures back with reviving melody.

Got a broodmaster? Save it for when skola is out, that way if you get instagibbed by a well placed doom blade you still have a 9/9 trample on the board. If not burn tonnes of mana and get a load of hydras. I have had games with a few acolytes on the board and had 7x7/7 hydras early in a game which pretty much secures victory.

The deck does suffer a huge weakness to flying which is easily plugged by leafcrown and time to feed which enables you to either reach or force fight those pesky flyers!

Getting blasted repeatedly? With the mana generation you can fairly easily support archetype of endurance enabling you to pull out massive hexproof creatures! When you have a 30/30 hexproof trample scourge of skola vale on the board and are looking at a solidarity in your hand the evil laugh is mandatory!
