Strategy
Madame Hydra is a graveyard-focused aggressor that grows stronger the more creatures fill your bin. Every time she enters the battlefield or swings, she mills two cards, rapidly stocking your graveyard while pumping her own power. This creates a self-reinforcing loop: the more you mill, the bigger she gets, and the harder she hits through menace. Your deck revolves around filling the graveyard efficiently—through mill effects, self-discard outlets, and creature sacrifice—while using Madame Hydra as your primary threat and commander damage source.
Winning with Hydra means turning her into an oversized threat that's hard to block and deals lethal in just a few swings. You'll want to pair her with effects that encourage early trades and sacrifice, filling your graveyard while thinning your board, then leverage reanimation or recursion to get value from those discarded creatures. The deck feels like a midrange graveyard deck that punches above its weight class through efficient self-mill and evasion.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive staples like Grief or Murktide; use budget self-mill like Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, and Lotleth Troll instead of premium tutors. Reanimation can lean on Persist and Lurrus over Sheoldred's Edict.
