Maybe some {elvish mystics}... Ramping into hydras quickly is pretty scary..

Ok, but in Standard? T1: {Forest}, {Elvish Mystic}

I don't think there is a way to cheat a 4 cmc creature into play on T2 for standard. I could be missing something, however.

T1- {elvish mystic}
T2- {burning tree emissary} {burning tree emissary}

Then use that extra mana to activate a nykthos for green and you have a {polukranos world eater} on turn 2.

Yeah, that's totally cheating (;

Same as above but with one more burning tree.

Ah, yes! I forgot about Nykthos. Thanks for opening my eyes TreeSmoker. They seem to have been clouded by smoke.

Lol. Those who regard the gruul as savage simpletons underestimate the subtle power of their shamans (;

That only gives you 3 green mana though cause devo to green is only 3

I've had people call judge because of dropping high drops t2
It's rather funny because the judge looks at me and asks me what I'm playing and i tell him gruul monsters and he walks away
Lol

Okay
I'll do it slowly

T1 you put a forest an tap it for an elvish mystic
T2 you play a nykthos then tap forest and mystic for a bte into a bte then use that 2 mana bte gives you i activate nykthos for green and you have 5 green mana to use on polukranos all in the same turn.
