 {Maze Glider},  {Latch Seeker}  {One with Nature},  {Primordial Hydra}  {Ghoulflesh} {Ghostly Touch}  {Tricks of the Trade} : mana generation and a flying hydra that practically has vigilance and cannot be blocked

Or you could actually play a modern deck that should win with less specific cards than that...

This. That's way too many cards for a combo to get off.

{Primordial Hydra} + {Gift of Orzhova} + {Rogue's Passage}. That cuts, what, four cards out of the combo?

And most of that doesn't really help you.  Just {artful dodge} your {primordial hydra}.  Maby double it's counters with that simic dude.  Much better combo, and a lot easier to pull off.

I pull a {doom blade} on your flying hydra thing! and kill 10 cards for 1 card and two mana.  Your combo is too unreliable to be using that many cards.
it becomes a black zombie along with its existing types, doom blade doesn't work

Btw all combos I do are drawn out because I rarely get the chance to get new cards, I roll with what I got

Sooo ya, can't do any of the suggestions because I don't have those cards.... Sorry

Cut the guy some slack! I applaud you sir. Maybe just have the hydra unblockable and a black zombie and that should do. Though a flying hydra that doubles counters is a bit more terrifying :p
I may make a deck around your combo just to show it can work consistently so everyone else will eat their words, hehe.

I actually built a deck around the hydra, mortivore, infinite reflection, and maze glider. Thank you for your kind words -blush-

No offense, but yes a lot of people are going to look at this combo cause of the title of it.. But when you look at it and see it takes like 7 cards to pull this off..  It's not that easy of a combo to pull off...  {Disenchant} the  {Ghoulflesh}, then {doom blade} the  {Primordial Hydra}.. ..  Done..  Took 4 mana to ruin all you did.  Or you attack and someone plays  {Ætherize}.. Or heck you can even just cast  {go for the throat} and only spend 2 mana and the hydra is dead.

I'm just curious, why is  {Latch Seeker} there? It doesn't tie into the combo at all
Title: Re: My unblockable flying hydra
Post by: Dan_the_man125 on November 29, 2013, 11:36:22 AM
Still fun to do v.v and I've pulled off this combo almost every time I play my deck

Just for 💩's and 😁's, throw on a  {Fireshrieker} to give it double strike! Haha

Because you are playing casual so the games go on forever, and no one is running kill spells for {naturalize}s.  That's how you can pull it off every time.  If you play it against a reasonable deck, for game two they sideboard in  a bunch of crap to deal with it, if they don't already have 4 {heroe's downfall}

A standard deck could easily kill this deck.
No deck is fool-proof. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you haven't won every match you've ever played. There are a ton of fast combos, but there's always ways to stop any synergy/combos.

  {Swiftfoot boots} + {Gift of orzhova} + {tricks of the trade} +({indistructability}) on a bomb creature
Title: Re: My unblockable flying hydra
Post by: Malachiracer on November 30, 2013, 05:40:04 PM
{Fleecemane Lion} + {Holy mantle} + {gift of orzhova} + {Etheral armor}!!! There I solved it
It's an unblockable 10/10 with lifelink. Add {boros charm} or {Ajani, caller of the pride} for double strike
Title: Re: My unblockable flying hydra
Post by: Deathseide on December 06, 2013, 03:34:12 AM
Lol, would be kinda fun to play this, and see if any opponent has {flash foliage} on hand...
Title: Re: My unblockable flying hydra
Post by: Deathseide on December 06, 2013, 03:39:53 AM
Or to simplify the combo to three cards, the hydra, {launch} and {whispersilk cloak}.
Or two if you cut the flying out.
