Selvala, Heart of the Wilds - X-Ponential Hydras - MTG EDH

Unleash the primal might of hydras with our Selvala, Heart of the Wilds deck! As your commander, Selvala, an elf of unparalleled mana-generating prowess, stands at the helm of a formidable force. In your first couple of turns, you'll play mana-producing elves, including Selvala, to build a vast reservoir of mana. These elves pave the way for casting powerful hydras such as Gargos, Vicious Watcher, or Managorger Hydra, which in turn amplify Selvala's mana production. With this mana boost, you can then cast X-spell hydras like Hungering Hydra or Vastwood Hydra, sinking a ton of mana into X and creating monstrous creatures. On your following turn, Selvala will tap to produce even more mana, enabling you to either play tons of powerful spells or summon one even larger hydra. Leverage this abundant mana to draw cards equal to the greatest power among your hydras with cards like Garruk, Primal Hunter, Return of the Wildspeaker, or Rishkar's Expertise. At this point, your hydras could have powers as high as 50, so be cautious, as you might mistakenly draw your entire deck! To handle any threats, the deck includes answers like Krosan Grip and Beast Within, and protection like Sheltering word for Selvala and your hydras, ensuring they remain untouchable. Additionally, cards like Gift of the Viper and Scryb Ranger allow you to untap Selvala, triggering her ability multiple times per turn. This deck can get absolutely ridiculous. Command the battlefield with an ever-growing army of hydras, and witness the awe-inspiring exponential power of Selvala and her ferocious companions!
