Hydra/Elf Deck v3.0.1 - 1/26/2021

This mono-green deck is one that focuses on what I believe is green's strongest quality, big ass creatures. Elf-assisted mana ramp gets you going so the 'X' drop Hydras can come in and clean up the board.

This deck includes ways to make your Hydras un-blockable, give them trample, or just juice them up even more. There are some cards to deal with flying creatures as well as some to prevent combat damage for when you just need to buy yourself that one extra turn.

Elvish Archdruid and the other elves can really get the mana-party started and Klothys's Design makes it so they are still worth having around, even if they have already done their jobs and gotten you a 30/30 Voracious Hydra.

This deck also has many ways to sneak damage through your opponents defenses without them being able to stop you from doing it. Rogue's Passage is the most straightforward way of accomplishing this, however a well-timed (and well-protected) Golgari Decoy can win you the game in one turn (and has done so for me more than a few times).

A few things that I could see being added to this deck are more 'fight' cards as well as more card draw options. Because your cards ramp out of your hand so fast you often end up top decking during the later parts of games and a lot of the single target removal is tied up in monstrosity costs or ETB effects. A few board wipes would not hurt either as this deck is missing a panic button reset option.

All comments and tips welcome, I am not a professional deck builder and can always benefit from others opinions.
