Not especially synergistic to hydras but ramp for big spells with some upside: Yurlok of scorch thrash.

General Magic / Re: Dominaria United: What do we want?

Yes, I would want it to have restrictions. Either MV, only certain creatures, only vanilla creatures. Something to make it not instantly banned. I haven't considered what would make it fair, but I want more of those creatures.

But wouldn't it take the 'special-ness' of those creatures if you could use every or part of all creatures this way? Wouldn't it be cooler to just have more creatures with the relevant wording and dedicated design and ability?

I like swarm decks. I have built Persistent Petitioners, both rats, and Shadowborn Apostles before. As long as the commander gave some kind of lord effect, preferably something that got stronger the more creatures were out, I would be perfectly happy. Something like: 'Ayulon, King Among Bears: 3GG; You may have any number of cards named "Forest Bear" in your starting deck. For each creature you control named "Forest Bear," bears you control gain +1/+1.'

I don't think it should be literally any creature, and the creatures granted this shouldn't be particularly strong. I don't think 'Elflord, Lord of Elves; You may have any number of cards named Priest of Titania in your starting deck' would be a good idea. I know it's a newer effect (relatively), but I still would like there to be more than four creatures and a sorcery with it. Preferably more creatures.

Then, how about a cycle of 5 creatures (for each color, or half of the color-pairs) each featuring an under represented tribe? Like the pre-mentioned Viashinos. With an activated ability like:
pay 5 generic mana, tap two creatures named 'XXX': This creature deals one damage to any target. This ability costs 1 less to activate for each creature named 'XXX' you control.

I like those swarm creatures as well. But, tbh, I find it kind of boring to just have a rat colony-ish pump ability.

How do you play a rare creature in a pauper deck?

You are aware that you'll be shy of red mana in your combo, right?

Thb I think your list won't do to well the way it is right now. If I'm not mistaken there are only combo pieces and synergetic cards in your list and no spells for protection or searching/digging for your missing cards.
I would concentrate on 1 combo (combo 1 seems to be best because it only needs 3 cards instead of 4) and fill the rest with removal, targeted discard and spell to cycle through your deck.
A card that fits your colors and may find any of your combo pieces would be Vessel of Nascency.

Edit:
If money is not the limiting factor, I'd recommend Gravecrawler to swap with animation module. This way you'd have 3 creatures (easier to search than artifacts) to complete your combo.

I'm afraid - even while it is perfectly fine to ask - it's hard to answer your request without knowing where you are from.
If I where you I would go to my LGS (local game store) and see whether they do mtg events and tournaments. The lgs should be your easiest way to get in touch with other magic players.
Or you could just introduce some of your friends to the game, if they are interested in fantasy stuff.

But to at least answer you question properly, I'm from germany. Western germany, around a city called Koblenz to be precise.
So, if you happen to live in my area there would be a chance for us to play some games.

I often catch myself putting Ashes to Ashes and Volcanic Salvo in my Decks. It seems I do to like removal spells that trade 2for1.

The hexproof issue is she has Leyline of Sanctity and 2 Keen Eared Sentries, making it so i cant target her for proliferate. On top of that she has Cloudsteel Kirin, so she cant lose unless i get rid of it before reconfiguring or while it is equipped. It's my fault because i built the deck for her.

A 'normal' infect aggro deck would have won way before your gf has 5 mana available to reconfigure Kirin. I guess you should switch from Proliferate to pumpspells aggro.

Jokes aside, if you want to outplay their lifegain decks you should simple try Infect.

Your playgroup would hate you faster if you insult their families.

In case you didn't know: a mutated creature dying with something like Supernatural Stamina causes all creatures that were part of the mutate to return seperately and not mutated.
Therefore if you want to protect your mutation cards that provide hexproof/protection or indestructible like Tamiyo's Safekeeping would be a better option.
