This started out as a gimmick deck, trying to find some ways to get every hydra ever printed in a deck together. Then it turned out to be an interesting play style, so I've started tuning it. There's less than every hydra ever in here now, but there's also more playables, so I think it all evens out in the wash.

Nowadays it's more about getting, and then capitalizing on, a large mana pool to pump into X costs. Hydras are still the main focus of those costs since they're all generally pretty good, but spells like Killing Wave and Fireball are excellent answers to sticky problems. The main means of accruing significant mana is through plain vanillia ramp, though there are a couple of engines for generating even more; Kruphix, God of Horizons plus Wilderness Reclamation is there as a poor man's Prophet of Kruphix, and Doubling Cube + Filigree Sages can technically go infinite. Pair it with Planar Portal to pull out whatever game-ending spells you want to cast, and go wild.

Any ideas on what to add or replace are welcome and encouraged! They'll never stop printing hydras, so this deck will never be truly done.
