Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a mono-green stompy engine centered on Gargos, Vicious Watcher, using its four-mana discount to deploy massive Hydra threats ahead of curve. Early ramp accelerates into Gargos, which turns cheap targeted protection spells into repeatable fight-based creature removal. The deck scales counters rapidly using enablers like Branching Evolution, Unbound Flourishing, and The Earth Crystal, while drawing cards off high power through Rishkar's Expertise, Garruk's Uprising, and The Great Henge. Win conditions revolve around overwhelming combat damage amplified by Kalonian Hydra, Unnatural Growth, or Hydra Omnivore, supported by trample enablers and fog effects to outlast opposing combat steps.
