Because she's the hero standard deserves, but not the one it needs right now... and so we'll chase her... because she can take it... because she's not a hero... she's a silent guardian
Are you kidding me. That Hydra... in mono-green beats.
T1 Llanowar Elves
T2 Elvish Archdruid
T3 Cast.
It's fagile to spot removal, but it's easy to pull off and if your opponents happen to not have an answer practically in hand from the start, they're in big trouble.
The Hydra is pretty badass, even if you can only reduce it's cost at least by 1/2 that is still a very potent threat and I simply love this sort of beasty.
The defender elemental is nice and will be easy to ramp into by having that overgrown battlement. This has excellent toughness that outlasts the bolts and hey by the time you tap it your going to be Incinerating the dome that round, then the next round that Incinerate upgrades to a Flame Javelin and so forth.
I think that the hydra will rock in standard even... "Oh, you killed my thrinax? i will just play my 8/8 for 4 mana" (assuming a putrid leech and the saprolings)
As Al Bundy used to say "If its broke dont fix it" The hydra is broken. With elves do you know how easy it is to get elf tokens or other green creatures? this is just broken.
Hydra is pretty bad in terms of T2 playability. Fun card sure but not good.
An 8/8 Trample these days is what, 6 mana? For 6 mana it'd be better to just get Broodmate Dragon, so we'll say 6 mana. That means to get a FAIR cost for the Hydra, you need 2 creatures on the field.
That's completely not good for a 'good creature'. People might say 'ZOMG 4 MANA FOR AN 8/8 TRAMPLE IF I HAVE 4 CREATURES'. Fine on the multiplayer table, but terrible in Standard. If I have 4+ green creatures on the field I've either been an idiot and overextended or I'm playing Combo Elves. Either way the Hydra is not needed.

The defender is less notable, but fun nonetheless.
