Nice deck! Oran-Rief Ooze , Oran-Rief, the Vastwood and Polukranos, Unchained might be a good fit here.

Nvm... Just realized that Oran-Rief, the Vastwood only affects green creatures, in a deck with 80% blue creatures... lol

Oh, I see!

Since there're a few higher budget cards such as Kindred Discovery and Forbidden Orchard , I wasn't sure if there was a budget limit. My bad!

Flavor is the best reason to keep a card in a list. So Keep Breaking Wave and be happy!

Oh, I forgot to tell you about Oran-Rief, the Vastwood ! It's Novijen, Heart of Progress that enters tapped, but with a free activation cost! You can either have more lands with this is effect or simply replace one for another as you see fit!

Looks pretty good honestly, so I only have a couple of suggestions. Oran-Rief, the Vastwood and Llanowar Reborn are a good way to get counters on creatures for free. Add a couple of land ramp cards of your choice: Rampant Growth , Sakura-Tribe Elder , Cultivate , Kodama's Reach , Explore , Growth Spiral . Put Biogenic Ooze in the main board. Hope that helps.

Heyoo, hope you don't find this weird. I was bored and just looking through the decklist you sent me 5ever ago. I had some thoughts on cards you might want to consider, just food for thought.

Overwhelming Stampede - awesome sorc, and you normally have at least 1 stupidly massive creature. 3 to 4 dollars.

Zendikar Resurgent - double your mana, draw cards for playing creatures, 4 bucks.

Stonecoil Serpent - not a hydra, but an X spell for you to double counters on later with vorel. I have one of these that you can just have, its like 4 or 5 bucks.

Courage in Crisis - counter on a creature and a proliferate trigger for 3 mana, pretty solid. trash common card super cheap.

Invigorating Surge - another super cheap instant, doubles counters similar to vorel's ability.

Solidarity of Heroes - same effect, more double trouble ;).

Inexorable Tide - proliferate whenever you cast a spell... pretty OP. 5 bucks.

Increasing Savagery - wowsa, that's a lot of counters, and ONLY A DOLLAR. nasty.

Bred for the Hunt - Draw cards for creatures with counters dealing dmg, cheap too.

Rampant Growth - great counterspell in these colors, worth considering since you cast really expensive spells. 1 doll hair.

Lazotep Plating - you probably have 10 of these lying around. way to protect your shiz.

Beast Within - staple removal in green.

Zameck Guildmage card draw dawg, card draw for counters. tight tight tight.

Its practically hydra tribal, get yo'self a Coat of Arms , I think you already have one in your binder.

If you decide to shell out on some cards, I think a few more expensive cards worth your while would be: Primal Vigor Branching Evolution Cyclonic Rift Rampant Growth - I have this in my Kenrith deck, its pretty great. Double Vorel's effectiveness with an equipment.

Id also put in more common ramp spells than the "draw X cards, put an extra land into play". cards like Cultivate , Rampant Growth , etc.

Lands lands lands, need better lands. Get some stuff like Command Tower , Yavimaya Coast , Llanowar Reborn , Temple of Mystery , Oran-Rief, the Vastwood , Simic Growth Chamber .

Alrighty, my rant is over.

A couple others maybe: Hagra Mauling  ^Flip in place of a swamp.
Spawning Pool in place of a swamp. The tapped land part sucks but nice to have a disposable blocker in a pinch.
Tangled Florahedron  ^Flip - maybe? Not really sure about this one.
Oran-Rief, the Vastwood in place of a forest.
Mosswort Bridge in place of a swamp. Wouldn't it be cool if you had a In Garruk's Wake or a Verdant Force under it?
Field of Ruin in place of another swamp.
Crawling Barrens in place of another swamp. This is a surprisingly good land. It can come out of nowhere in a pinch.
Labyrinth of Skophos in place of a forest or swamp. Nice to be able to remove an infect creature or big guy coming at you.
Conqueror's Galleon  ^Flip in place of Talisman of Resilience. The flip on the Galleon is really easy (especially with the Labyrin and can be a good source of value or recursion.

Solid build +1! I really like Throne of the God-Pharaoh. I never realized how great that would be in a Rhys deck! One card you might like is March of Souls. It always hurts when a board wipe hits but sometimes it has to be done. This card gets rid of those problems while keeping your creature count up.

The only other thing I would suggest for your build is to throw in some tech lands. Gavony Township, Oran-Rief, the Vastwood and Wirewood Lodge are just too good with rhys.
