All in on mono green, with 30 creatures mainboard.

Genesis Hydra for x=5 should essentially always hit something super powerful. With 16 mainboard game-altering "bombs" at 4 mana or more, we hit either Polukranos, World Eater, Arbor Colossus, Nessian Game Warden, Nissa, Worldwaker, Nylea's Disciple, or Nylea, God of the Hunt about 1 - (44/60)5 = 79% of the time with an X=5 Hydra.

Even with only 3 forests, we draw a card from Nessian Game Warden about 1 - (1/2)3 = 88% of the time. With 5 forests, that grows to 97%. The card basically reads 3GG, 4/5 creature: When ~ enters the battlefield, scry 5, and draw a card.

Thoughts right now:

• The mainboard needs tuning to see if we can get the mainboard closer to the middle of the various matchups. See below.

• Was it right to cut Highland Game? Maybe it is worth testing that versus Rabblemaster, but then, maybe they are boarding out Rabblemaster against us anyway.

• Is 1 Reclamation Sage and 3 Naturalize the right split? Reclamation Sage gets found by Nessian Game Warden and Genesis Hydra, but Back to Nature is one of our only ways to interact with the combo deck at all.
