Updated to promote the synergies that naturally form around Kiora and the Biogenic Ooze (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Biogenic+Ooze). Karn's Bastion (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Karn%27s+Bastion) makes ooze far more potent, and provides additional mana options. Kiora should usually untap Lotus Field (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Lotus+Field) for an extra three mana. Kiora's passive card draw triggers only rarely but is a welcome addition to playing a hydra or a Bloom Hulk (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Bloom+Hulk).

Love the Combo of Repudiate the Lotus Field (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=fr&card=Lotus+Field) & adding Kiora in the mix make it great. I just wonder (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=fr&card=Wonder) what would be your side board .

do you think Bioessence Hydra (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=fr&card=Bioessence+Hydra) would be a good addition to this deck?

Just realized that we cannot target Lotus Field (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=fr&card=Lotus+Field)  due to it's hexproof clause & we would need the Detection Tower (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=fr&card=Detection+Tower) to  allow to be targeted

Regarding the Field and Repudiate combo, it does work! It actually sneaks by the hexproof because hexproof only protects your permanents from spells your opponent's cast, directed at them. For example, you can also cast Shock (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Shock) on a hexproof creature you control with no issue (if the mood were to strike you).

Regarding Bioessence Hydra (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Bioessence+Hydra), I think it could definitely see play here. Especially because our Kiora starts with 7 loyalty. Unfortunately though we're only running Kiora at the moment, so Bioessence Hydra (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Bioessence+Hydra) would be a dead(ish) draw without her in play.

I don't think that's grounds for dismissing the card though, anything that gets pumped up twice by a single proliferate is good news, and it would be a decent secondary Replicate target since it would get counters from Kiora. Other hydras in the deck do not get the benefit of transitioning +1/+1 counters; it's a solid option to consider!
