{{Kruphix, God of Horizons}}
Dont think this is the right build for him
strongly disagree.  {Hydra Broodmaster}
{Mistcutter Hydra}
{Primordial Hydra}
{Vastwood Hydra}
Colorless mana put to use. Plus. As mentioned before, {G}{U} opens a lot of options for massive creatures and devastating board states with  {Vorel of the Hull Clade},  {Prime Speaker Zegana},  {Momir Vig, Simic Visionary}, and {Genesis Wave}.

Don't even get me started on  {Doubling Season} or  {Primal Vigor}.

I just about talked myself into building a Kruphix deck.

because you need a commander and kurphix is a good option for a hydra deck

Ahh. Gotcha. I missed that I thought we were talking about including it in a hydra deck.

Im thinking that hydras with haste and +X+X are better for some reason because I saw a guy at 1 life in FNM release draft who topdecked a Heroes Bane, made it a 32/32 and tossed it on the chariot. The other guy had a 1/1 blocker and was at 26 life.

dont see how kruphix would help that much because most mana is only from basic lands

xenagos god of revels would be brilliant for a commander because he can pump hydras more

xenagos pumps hydras after they are out .
kruphix lets you play {mistcutter hydra for extra mana then you have and having {G}{U} lets you also play {vorel the hull clade} which lets you use xenagos ability to make them attack with +x/+x but vorel ankes the +x/+x permanent

Actually xenagos gives XX AND haste, which is really big for the heroes bane u just played.

This is why I want xenagos, if I get multiple cards out ( and xenagos the reveler) then I can supercharge with power and hit immediately boost DPT (damage per turn) leading to a quick victory

I agree I think he gives you a good potential margin for victory. Make sure u dont build it completely for the early-mid game tho make sure u add some solid removal/wipes. I might even go with {Blood Moon} or maybe even {Jokulhaups}/{Boom/Bust}, something that can shut them down if u have xenagos and a couple nasties out

DimirOverlord1300

Id run something in {G} {R} {U} for all the colors of hydras and good abilities in all the colors.

Caininite

I would have to agree with  {Animar, Soul of Elements}. Has the right colors for hydras, mana ramp, and +1/+1 counters. Since animar doesn't care where it gets counters from  you can get some really large hydras with X in the cost as well as some other big green wreckers.

Double-O-Scotch

I see your point, but a true Hydra deck would have a hydra commander...
