This is my take on the “Simic Hydra Stompy”(or simic hydra ramp) deck. Note that there is no Hydroid Krasis as this deck is intended for paper magic and I just don’t have the money for him. He is replaced with Roalesk, Apex Hybrid . I feel he shines in this deck with all the proliferate and all the counters in the hydras.

The maybe board is cards that could be sided in depending on what the local meta(mine being Simic-Flash, Jund-Sacrifice, Izzet guild).

My biggest struggle with playing some of my meta is the Simic-Flash match. I can’t seem to find an answer to the bounces from Brazen Borrower , and dealing with Nightpack Ambusher .

Suggestions on how I can handle matchups with counters and/or bounces is welcomed and appreciated.
