General Description

Welcome to my one and only Modern deck! I love hydras. They're my second favorite creature type, behind walls. So, one day, all of my friends decided to make Modern decks, and I cast my ballot into the hat with a hydra deck. This one! This deck has come pretty far from what it once was, and I'm very proud of it, even if it's not the best! It's fast, it's fairly consistent, and it's deadly! So, have fun with it!

How to Use This Deck

Ramp, Burn, Swing, Win! That's the motto of this deck! One of the advantages to running red is that I can squeeze in Lightning Bolt to ping things I don't like. It helps get rid of blockers, or, in their absence, burn my opponent down a little for an easy kill. Apocalypse Hydra can also do this, but Lightning Bolt is king. The whole deck plays very easily. Keep dropping lands and ramp spells until you feel you can drop a big enough hydra, then swing for the win!

Important Cards

Lightning Bolt

It's here, and it needs to be mentioned! I covered this a bit in the previous section, but Lightning Bolt lets me ping things I don't like. Blockers? Gone. That little bit of life the opponent has that prevents me from winning next turn? Gone. It's versatile, cheap, and effective!

Apocalypse Hydra

Do you want a 14/14 by turn four? Of course you do! Everyone does! This is the fastest hydra in this deck. Not only can it get huge really quickly, it can ping things, too! Even though you probably don't want to do that, because it makes it smaller, it's still a great option to have!

Mistcutter Hydra

For lack of an Apocalypse Hydra , Mistcutter Hydra is an excellent number two! The reason it's so good is because of its keywords. An uncounterable creature with haste that you can drop as an 8/8 by turn 4? I'm down for that!

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: It's really fast! There's reall not much else to say about it. The main strength of this deck is how fast it moves, and how big you can make your creatures.

Weaknesses: Counterspells. All of them. This deck has no answers to them, and really doesn't like having things countered, though it can usually be back up and running a turn or two later.
