i want to make a five colored hydra deck and i cant decided which one to use between Progenitus and Morophon, the Boundless. so which one do you think is better for a 5 colored hydra commander deck
I vote pro-genitals. Just so you can have the opportunity to say pro-genitals as often as possible.

Hydra tribal I'd highly recommend just mono-green headed by Gargos, Vicious Watcher, or maybe red-green. The majority of hydras are just green. That said I'm not going to stop you.
Morophon seems the better choice of the two for a 5 color tribal deck. It supports your 99 and lets you actually cast Progenitus. Morophon will reduce the cost of most your hydras by 1, some of them by a bit more. For each reduction they can often get another +1/+1 counter, plus it offers +1/+1 to them as a base.
Progenitus, however, is going to draw eyes and not every deck has a good tool to kill it... That could bring your hydra deck attention early that you don't necessarily have a good response to.

DrukenReaps you are right it would be easir to just do mono green hydra commander, but i already have a monogreen hydra deck just for casual. and i wanted to give a little bit of a challenge to myself, and with doing five colors there are things that i could add to support the hydras and make them more nastier than those multi headed creatures are, like being a jerk and adding in Herald of Secret Streams

Personally, I’d vote for Morophon, if for no other reason than the fact that it costs 3 mana less to get into play.

Morophon is better, but screw that! He's a shapeshifter, not a hydra! If you want to build a five-color hydra deck, use Progenitus, the hydra all little hydras aspire to be!

I'd say Morophon, just because there's more deck interaction.
