Vigor

Creature — Elemental Incarnation

Trample

If damage would be dealt to another creature you control, prevent that damage. Put a +1/+1 counter on that creature for each 1 damage prevented this way.

When Vigor is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library.

I think I would more or less do the same with the commanders you have laid out so I don't have much to offer there. Instead here are some deck ideas I have planned/currently working on:

Deck Ideas

• Adamaro, First to Desire: Mono-Red group hug
• Rakdos, Lord of Riots | Hamza, Guardian of Arashin: Morph
• Sakashima of a Thousand Faces&Krark, the Thumbless: Focused on Brothers Yamazaki
• Barrin, Master Wizard: Modular-control deck (Arcbound Ravager)
• Firesong and Sunspeaker: Angel Spellslinging
• Daughter of Autumn: Damage Redirection Deck (Pariah/Vigor)
• General Jarkeld: Block everything! (Hundred-Handed One)
• Kentaro, the Smiling Cat: No plains in the deck, maybe cat tribal
• Baru, Fist of Krosa | Korlash, Heir to Blackblade: Utilize grandeur
• Korvold, Fae-Cursed King: Food token and Stuffy Doll with Gyome, Master Chef and Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar as the secret commanders.
• Kogla, the Titan Ape: King Kong theme (2005 Peter Jackson)
• Yidaro, Wandering Monster: Battle Cruiser (Unpredictable Cyclone/Sneak Attack)
• Any tribal deck because tribal is my favorite

Cauldron of Souls makes your creatures virtually immortal and has fun synergy with Altar of Dementia.

These might interest you as well: Vigor, Pariah, Grindclock, Evolution Sage, Grateful Apparition, Urban Daggertooth

Hey, nice version so far with a high budget. Cutting Garruk's Uprising was a mistake, the card is really good in creature decks.

Apex Altisaur and Thorn Mammoth are upgrades for Ravager Wurm and Foe-Razer Regent for repeatable fight. You don't really need Regent since you have Vigor which has a much better ability to put counters on creatures you control. Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients from the new Draconic Rage Commander precon is a target for fight and good with Vigor. He can also be a repeatable source of big tokens to abuse Greater Good, Terror of the Peaks and Garruk's Uprising.

Quartzwood Crasher is a five drop to pair with Garruk's Uprising, another repeatable source of big tokens and it's combat damage trigger goes well when you can double the power of a creature with trample. Garruk, Primal Hunter and Garruk, Unleashed can be repeatable sources of tokens for attacking and fighting. With fight it's easier to protect them to get to their ultimates.

Arcane Signet is a ramp upgrade for Rampant Growth. Harrow is an upgrade for Kodama's Reach. Karplusan Forest, Grove of the Burnwillows, Cragcrown Pathway  ^Flip are three more Gruul dual lands that always ETB untapped to consider adding. Cinder Glade is an upgrade for Temple of Abandon.

---

Some cards to consider cutting:

• Temple of the False God
• Temple of Abandon
• Rampant Growth
• Kodama's Reach
• Golden Guardian  ^Flip
• Ravager Wurm
• Zilortha, Strength Incarnate
• Nylea, Keen-Eyed
• Foe-Razer Regent

Good luck with your deck.

I would add Momentous Fall, Life's Legacy,Return of the Wildspeaker, and Greater Good these are pretty good card draw spells which should work pretty good in a hydra deck being they can get bigger. I've even cast rishkar expertise into wild speaker.

For interaction you could add Walking Ballista and Rite of Passage along with hardened scales makes infinite damage +1/+1 counters on your hydras. Can also be done with Vigor... Also Devoted Druid would make infinite mana with the counters.

These are "infinite" but not in the broken category.

Karn's Bastion and Shalai, Voice of Plenty for counters maybe. Eidolon of Countless Battles for size.

Pollenbright Wings is my favorite card in these colors. Suddenly I can give my biggest creature Flying and then I get a dozen blockers and/or attackers for next round. Absolutely stupid with Cathars' Crusade.

Vigor.

ghostfire86: thanks for the suggestions! Pariah and Guilty Conscience have already found their way into the deck.

• Pariah's Shield is too heavy of an investment in a game for me (8 mana for the effect and then there is no protection against cheap removal).

• Volcano Hellion specifically states that its damage cannot be prevented, so I figured it won't work.

• Repercussion is nice, but I do not have one at the moment. Will definitely keep an eye out for it.

• Vigor same as with Repercussion.

• Pyrohemia seems very nice and I might find room for it.

• Shivan Meteor while great art, is too narrow for me.

Have you thought about what would happen if you cast Blasphemous Act or Earthquake etc while you have Vigor out? I loved finishing with that.
