Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-green X-spell stompy deck helmed by Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, built to double the power and toughness of a wide board of hydras and big beaters every combat. The core loop is: ramp hard, deploy counter-synergy permanents like Branching Evolution, The Earth Crystal, and Unbound Flourishing, then cast Zopandrel and turn every creature into a lethal trampling threat. The deck leans heavily on X-cost creatures and spells - Genesis Hydra, Steelbane Hydra, Finale of Devastation, Green Sun's Twilight - with a dense +1/+1 counter subtheme (Kami of Whispered Hopes, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, Terrasymbiosis). Big-mana engines like Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, The Eternity Elevator, and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger fuel the X costs. Primary win is combat damage from doubled, trampling creatures, with a massive Finale of Devastation (X 10) as the haste-pumping finisher.
