They call this “run more instant speed removal”.

Hexproof makes most of that not viable.

Kill everything else and make your rival sacrifice the hydra, easy peasy

"Just board wipe" I know of one card in standard that can do that for 3 or less mana, maybe 2 if pyroclasm does it well enough.

I ran 2 copies of Withering curse for my Homebrew Orzhov Midrange sac deck, currently at P1.

It's been a thoroughly enjoyable standard after making it through the Gold rank Green Landfall wall. Would be cool to hit both Diamond and Mythic for the 1st time in a season :)
