Only Hydras B3 by Oldimer

Format: Commander

Commander: Gargos, Vicious Watcher

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This mono-green Hydra tribal deck uses Gargos, Vicious Watcher to discount Hydra spells by four mana and to remove creatures by targeting its own board. It ramps with elves, Sol Ring, Mana Vault and Grim Monolith, then deploys X-cost Hydras that enter with +1/+1 counters. Doubling Season, Branching Evolution and Hardened Scales multiply counters, while The Great Henge, Guardian Project and similar engines draw cards. The main win is combat with very large Hydras, most efficiently Hydra Omnivore paired with Triumph of the Hordes to give all attackers infect and spread damage to each opponent. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds and Nykthos provide burst mana for big X spells.
