This deck is Super fun to play! Now sitting at 30 X-Spells, even with the infinite combos into Exanq/Torment and all the various searches for them, Hydra Overrun is more often than not the name of the game.

Zaxara is Definitely a regular target for removal, so grieves/boots are a must, and Asceticism is great backup for when the Simic player drops Oko.

And this deck is resilient! You can drop hydras even at low power and just the added bonus of a second body per hydra can mean the difference between life and death, allowing you that 1 turn you might need to bounce back, and when you're ramping and suddenly bouncing an opponent's board AND getting Hydras for it, the bounce back comes quick.

Any suggestions would be great! And remember!
