Dehydrated Hydras

It's been a couple of years, and the Hydra horde have matured!
Thanks for all your great suggestions while I've been away. I can see that the deck could need an overhaul with all the wonderful new cards
The following are now under consideration
- Vivien Reid: all her abilities seems useful
- Unbound Flourishing: Wait what? More doubling! Sign me up, double time.
- Traverse the Outlands: Prune deck for all lands AND put them into play? Awesomesauce!
- The Great Henge: Seems alrigt. Not sure it's worth a slot, but ramp and card draw.
- Shadowspear: Trample and some other nice stuff
- Selvala, Heart of the Wilds: Very good alternate commander. Will clearly be better than Polukranos, World Eater, but I'm not sure I can have an Elf Scout piloting a Hydra deck? Or can I? If so, I for sure need
- Umbral Mantle to go full retard on the board
- Rishkar's Expertise may be quite a good draw spell, but I hate to discard
- Nissa, Who Shakes the World: Lots of more mana. Would never +1 her, but if she comes out under Doubling Season, the -8 emblem sounds pretty sexy.
- Monstrous Onslaught: There is a hydra on the card. Nuff said
- Lifecrafter's Bestiary: Could be alright to draw some cards. But makes X one less. not sure
- Karametra's Acolyte: bonkers ramp
- Invigorating Surge: double +2 counters on a hydra. Could be fine?
- Infiltration Lens: Fixes draw for cheap! In this deck it surely beats Skullclamp
- Garruk's Uprising: Pretty good draw engine for the hydrating hydras
- Emerald Medallion: Okay is. Not sure it's good enough compared to the more expensive options
- Branching Evolution: Wait what? Yet another doubler? How are you doing?
New Hydras to make room for:

You'll have to toss me! (Don't Tell the Elf)

Have you thought about Neyith of the Dire Hunt and Rionya, Fire Dancer for this? Since you often have big creatures there is Chandra's Ignition, and Windswift Slice manages to be the world's biggest flavor fail and win at the same time, at least nobody will miss those elves when you sacrifice them! Two-Handed Axe might fit (and it's a big ax!), Inquisitor's Flail is unfortunately not an ax but is also very good if Gimli has high toughness.
I'm not sure how big your tallest creatures end up, but Monstrous Onslaught is very good with an excessively big creature.
Cool deck!

Kresh of the savage horde

A couple more I thought of, Monstrous Onslaught sounds pretty good if Kresh has over 20 power, good odds of being able to 1-shot someone that turn. I'm not sure if it's 'too fast', but Chandra's Ignition would be pretty easy to win off of, you just need a big Kresh and to resolve your spell.

Grothama Fight Me IRL

KBK7101 I think the instant speed on Momentous Fall is a huge upside over Life's Legacy because otherwise you just get hit with creature removal.
But I really like Fungal Sprouting and Monstrous Onslaught, I don't think I've seen them before.

Fungal Sprouting and Spontaneous Generation have the ability to explode your board state if you're looking to make more tokens.
Life's Legacy is another way to draw stupid amounts of cards. Even though it's only a sorcery, I prefer this card to Momentous Fall because it's a lot cheaper to cast. You do lose out on the lifegain portion, though...
Monstrous Onslaught is basically a green board wipe for this kind of deck.
Finally, all of these recommendations come from a deck that I have for this last recommendation... Multani, Maro-Sorcerer. While it's on the Reserved List, it's not terribly expensive at the moment ($3-6) and is an incredible card with enough card draw support, which you clearly have! It can be a bit of a pain to keep track of his power/toughness but there was an episode of I Hate Your Deck on Youtube where Multani was played and they were basically like "We'll keep track of it when it matters" which can make things a lot easier.
If you're interested, the deck is here : Multani, Maro-Sorcerer - Growth Spiral (v1.6)

Moon’s Blessing

If you're looking for some mean flavor, then my second favorite card of all time Blood Moon is fantastic!
Also, I always recommend at least 1-2 boardwipes in ANY deck, some of my favorites in R/G:
Blasphemous Act 10/10
Chain Reaction 10/10
Chandra's Ignition 8/10
Monstrous Onslaught 7/10

Cards like The Ozolith, Winding Constrictor and Corpsejack Menace might be worth a look. Same with Binding the Old Gods, Monstrous Onslaught and Hunter's Insight.
