Looks like Umbral Mantle has been fixed, but all of the equipment should probably be gone through to check. Sword of Fire and Ice as well as the other swords are still listed as illegal.

Zirda, the Dawnwaker and most equipment artifacts like Umbral Mantle are currently coming up as "not legal" in any deck Zirda is a companion in, which is an error. The Equip portion of Equipment are technically activated abilities. Could this please get fixed? Thanks!

I like the decklist, I recommend Staff of Domination and Umbral Mantle. These two cards and a couple other cards with similar effects allow Krenko, Mob Boss to go infinite with Skirk Prospector on the field, making infinite goblins, mana, etbs, and sacrifice triggers.

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:

• Gargos, Vicious Watcher
• Hungering Hydra
• Polukranos Reborn  ^Flip
• Steelbane Hydra
• Voracious Hydra
• Whiptongue Hydra

legendofa on Using Umbral Mantle ´s ability …

Looks like you got it right. Immediately after blockers are declared, players gain priority and can respond by taking instant-speed actions, which would include Llanowar Tribe and Umbral Mantle.

MarOo on Using Umbral Mantle ´s ability …

Hi there,

i am not quite sure if this play is legit, so i ask this question here:

Can i boost up my attacking Llanowar Tribe to infinity by using Umbral Mantle AFTER the defending player decleared his blockers / non-blockers? (Background for not doing this beforehand: The defending player in this example would not have decalered Blockers if i attacked with Llanowar Tribe´s standard Power/Toughness. If i boosted beforehand, the defending player would have just blocked with a 1/1 creature)

• Llanowar Tribe gets tapped by decklaring it as an attacker
• defending player declares blockers / non-blockers
• Llanowar Tribe gets untapped and boosted +2/+2 by paying 3 (from Lands) for Umbral Mantle's Ability.
• Then activating Llanowar Tribe `s ability to tap itself and gain 3 Mana
• Spending those 3 Mana to activate Umbral Mantle's ability again and giving +2/+2 again
• repeating this process infinity times.

Since the rules say:

306.4b Tapping or untapping a creature that's already been declared as an attacker or blocker doesn't remove it from combat and doesn't prevent its combat damage -

• i thought, it was possible to go through this process after the defending Player declared blockers and before damage calculation.

Is this true or did i get that wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Umbral Mantle for the lulz.. and Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots are so so good in a Krenko deck..
