Goldvein Hydra and Hydroid Krasis are some good hydras to consider.

While I don't recommend it, as it really puts a target on your dorks, if you have Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy in play, a Freed from the Real on a Birds of Paradise or Noble Hierarch would generate infinite mana. There's certainly enough protection with current Instants, though, if you wanted to go that route. Bloom Tender would another solid choice to include then, if you felt so inclined.

I definitely think the manabase could be improved on. It seems there's no budget for creatures, but lands are all budget? So I was hesitant earlier, and didn't have the time either then to make a case for improvements. That said, 1x Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth is, IMO, always worth whatever mana-fixing it provides opponents. After that, I tend to prefer Botanical Sanctum, Dreamroot Cascade and Barkchannel Pathway  Flip to the perennially desired Breeding Poolfoil and Misty Rainforest. I just can't stand the thought of burning 3 life to get one dual land. I usually also include Scavenger Grounds just on the off chance I face a deck that likes to bring stuff back from the graveyard.

I didn't see you asking for removal spells, but Beast Within is decent, IMO, and I wouldn't turn my nose up at any deck running Pongify or Rapid Hybridization, especially if the deck is also packing creatures that can block those 3/3 gift tokens.

While it's a bit gutsy to rely strictly on mana dorks for the white mana needed to cast Gods Willing, I rather like the idea of an unblockable swing thanks to its protection.

In my eyes, the biggest weaknesses are: Opt doesn't provide any card advantage. Divination would be better, and Harmonize better still. Hydroid Krasis, as I said before, seems to fit as well and comes with the bonus of a bit of lifegain which is never bad. And that leads to the next issue - the wincons are [almost] all legendary, and therefore rightly limited to less than 4 copies each. I do like that they come with their own means of preventing removal, though. And finally, that the mana base just isn't as premium as most the spells it supports.

Hydroid Krasis, perhaps? It draws you cards, has a variable MV and can be a big threat.

Nice deck; well balanced. Maybe Awaken the Woods could be nice in here, just as a fun x-spell that generates creature- and land tokens at the same time. Hydroid Krasis also seems like a fun hydra for this deck; especially considering the additional resources you obtain when you cast it. I would also definitely consider Villainous Wealth, as it's drastically over-powered in a deck like this. Have fun with this brew.

I am still really new to the deck and have only seen some youtube videos of saffron olive/aspiringspike playing this kind of shell with some playtesting for "how long does it take to take all of the turns and have reasonable responses in the meantime".... so maybe I have it wrong but I have been in the mindset of self milling myself to get to turns asap.

it could be that this is just "shiny and new" to me and thats why I'm obsessing over it but I think this deck has a lot of potential.... my list is using more pioneer appropriate cards with Search, Ice-Fang Coatl and a Hydroid Krasis to mimic Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath... spike/olive were running Wrenn and Six... but I think your wizard package is pretty neat! I love it.

hit me up on my profile page or something if you get a chance to play this at your locals or MTGO because id love to hear about it.

This us the kindof list i’d end up building (again, Green-Blue, but it’d be super-easy to make this mono-green)

Without a ceiling for your budget there’s a lot of options.

Seth made this list last year which is very hydra themed, and likely to play pretty closely to how you’re wanting, by making riddiculously sized hydras.

Personally i’d be going down the route of playing Green with a splash of Blue, to run Hydroid Krasis and The Goose Mother. Using the established Prime-Titan deck as a base, you could drop The One Ring and Primeval Titan for those Krasis and Goose mother, and still have a very viable/competitive brew (you could also very reasonably drop Cultivator Colossus and Summoner's Pact for more hydras also).
