Ulvenwald Hydra scales with the number of lands you control, making it a flexible threat in any green based ramp strategy. It has reach, so it can defend against flying creatures while it grows. Its power and toughness are each equal to the number of lands you control, so the longer the game lasts the bigger it becomes. When Ulvenwald Hydra enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle. This built in fetch helps you accelerate your mana base and set up future turns.
Use Ulvenwald Hydra to anchor a board state that benefits from abundant lands. The combination of size and reach forces opponents to deal with a growing threat, while the land tutor on entry helps you keep up with opposing strategies. In practice this Hydra shines when you already have multiple lands in play, turning your land count into real offensive value and enabling big plays in the late game.
