Title: [Standard] Hail Hydra Counters
Post by: Dolsen on October 09, 2015, 02:00:54 am

Hail Hydra Counters (http://deckstats.net/decks/48891/336288-hail-hydra-counters)

Strategy here is the interaction in giving creatures tokens. Manaogorger Hydra just goes off once its on the board. Avatar of the Resolute (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Avatar+of+the+Resolute) almost always get a +1/+1 counter on it. Undergrowth champion (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Undergrowth+Champion) is best dropped on turn 4 before the land drop and absolutely loves Evolving Wilds (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Evolving+Wilds); you get 2 +1/+1 counters if you cut it for a land right away. If you have Managorger Hydra (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Managorger+Hydra) down, Epic Confrontation (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Epic+Confrontation) is a wonderful card. The spells here are taking advantage of the power these creatures can reach by pumping them, giving them flying or giving them protection. Go up against agro swap in Secure the Wastes (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Secure+the+Wastes). Go up against dragons swap in Plummet (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Plummet), maybe Radiant Purge (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Radiant+Purge). Control we try to get card draw against with Inspiring Call (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Inspiring+Call) and Reclaim (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Reclaim). The lands in this deck even help you. Sandstone Bridge (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Sandstone+Bridge) gives you a temporary +1/+1 and vigilance (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Vigilance), Rogue's Passage (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Rogue%27s+Passage) makes one of guys unblockable and Fertile thicket (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Fertile+Thicket) is like a suedo fetch land. I would love some feedback if this can be made better.

Maybe Cathar's Crusade (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Crusade), Sunscorch Regent (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Sunscorch+Regent) or Enduring Scalelord (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Enduring+Scalelord). I have those in a deck that is kind of similar. It's pretty gnarly.

Primordial Hydra (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Primordial+Hydra) is good and makes a really big mess in a few turns.
