Sometimes the idea just takes awhile before it becomes viable.

I think I've got a lock on the acceleration. Protean Hydra might stay in just to fight things but it now essentially has a CC of 3. Still; it survives deathtouch and similar effects so it's worth considering. <br /><br />Search for Animar isn't a bad idea for replacement though. However, at least so far, it's been remarkable how often I have multiples of both Animar or Jin in hand.

I still think Jin is not the card for you here. I mean, if you land him, you're sitting decently pretty...but then again, you have probably already won the game before Jin came into play. <br /><br />If the core win mechanism of this deck is to land Jin, then the hydras are a distraction. If the point is to land hydras, what's Jin doing there? <br /><br />My thought would be to place cheap critters (to boost Animar quickly) or some kind of tutor (to ensure that you get Animar).
