I have been drafting up a gruul deck with new m15 cards and well it is crazzy strong. Genesis Hydra creates a pseudo lock when it grabs Nissa, 6 mana Garruk, Ruric, Sylvain primordial. Garruk and domri help you dig for one. Even when it is countered you grab a threat. This is the first time in standard a creature fetches a planeswalker. This just becomes really hard for control and agro to deal with. I have won 11 out of 12 games online against top decks and the game I lost was because I milled to 4.
A noteable perk about Genesis Hydra (if I'm reading it right), is that you get the "Genesis Wave" effect regardless if it's countered or not because the effects triggers when you cast it.
Yes you get the wave effect regardless. I kinda wish you could wave into a prime speaker and get the hydra. Counters but 99% sure tjat cant workm I will post a deck list young Quaker boy after work later but it is rather standard with just 4 wave 3 Nissa.
Yea, I keep wanting to try him in a G(x)(x) walker list but imo right now Walker lists are not as strong except for UW because UW. I'll be waiting for Tarkir. On the other hand I will be sure to pick up 4 of these and yea.
I've also been testing a G devo list and it seems to do really well BUT the problems I am having are putting Nissa and Hydra and Calling in it. I kinda want to cut Garruk since I know it will run just as well but I kinda can't because of control etc. Nissa can replace BTE imo especially since it helps vs control. I'll def have to try GR though.
btw are you palying on cockatrice because I've only been able to have 2 matchs total on there so far (with M15)... :/
