Play {Primordial Hydra} wait for him to get a lot of power/toughness. Give him a {Unhallowed Pact} or two. Now play {Disciple of Griselbrand} and use his ability on {Primordial Hydra} and then {Unhallowed Pact} will activate. Now use {Disciple of Griselbrand} again until you run out of {Unhallowed Pact}
When its brought back from the graveyard its a 0/0, so it just dies again
Yeah sorry didn't think about that after it dies it loses counters
Could work with {Skullbriar, the Walking Grave} if you can get a crapload of counters on him
Could work but might be hard
With {Primordial Hydra} is better to use {Corpsejack Menace} how someone suggested here and then sac it with {Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord}...:D

:D quite exhausting combo...:D
Play {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed} to give your primordial hydra undying to keep him alive when he comes back
{Essence Harvest} is my favorite card if you're wanting big monsters. It's so much for only 3 mana. If he's 8, that's a massive swing in life for only 3 mana. Love it.

Undying only works if there are no +1/+1 counters on a creature. And the hydra almost always will have counters.

Or you could just attack lol. With CJM on the bf, Hydra gets REALLY big REALLY fast. Played a game today, hydra entered w 6 counters. 2 turns later he has 54 and trample. Swung for the win.

I thought this too, but then realized he ment after the first time it returns from the unhallowed pact, it will return with no counters, undying will trigger when it dies as a 0/0 and return with 1 counter :)

Mikaeus gives the hydra +1/+1 as well as undying. Still doesn't work unless you sac it again.
Lol ahh yes! Non-human.
Still it survives long enough for a cheap block or as you say a sacrifice target. (My personal favorite {Bone Splinters})

Or a {hunger of the howl pack} or {increasing savagery} to get it going again
