My very in-progress Hydra deck! The only one I've found a combo in. To make it simple, Ashaya turns all your creatures into lands. Mina and Denn return a land to hand for each two mana spent. Nykthos and Nyx Lotus generate mana based on chosen devotion (choose green). Return Nykthos to hand and replay it as red, then do it again and again with devotion's colored mana to return Mina and Denn to hand and play them as a land creature. Then replay them over and over. Evolution Sage triggers every time that a land or creature (counting as a land due to Ashaya) enters, so hydras keep proliferating. On top of that, Moraug landfall triggers grant extra attack phases. Sunbird's Invocation triggers every time you replay Mina and Denn, so in theory you can play out this deck. Fun fun, but lengthy.
