[b]Simple card that lets you pop some cards. Can essentially take out two monsters in one turn (of course if the monster is attacking is destroyed).[/b]

[b]Much more stronger then the first Level. 2500 Beatstick means it can run over a good amount of cards, causing you to constantly destroy your opponent's cards. I think their may be a problem seeing it's absolutely mandatory to destroy exactly 2 cards on the field. That means if your opponent doesn't have any cards, you'll be forced to pop your own, so consider rewording that.[/b]

When this card destroys a Monster by battle; Destroy 1 Card on the field. If this card is not Special Summoned with the Effect of "Hydra LV4, Negate this effect.

[b]You wrote LV4 instead of LV5 in that first part. The card feels lacking. Sure it's a bigger beatstick then LV5 Hydra, but it can only pop one card. Then again, this could be the better choice since Hydra is mandatory 2 pops, while this is a mandatory 1, which will most likely be your opponent's card. Reasonable drawback is reasonable.[/b]


Destruction Hydra LV9
Level 9/EARTH/Dragon/Effect/ATK - 4100/DEF - 0
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or set. This card must be Special Summoned with the effect of "Hydra LV6" and cannot be special summoned in other way. This card is not affected by the effects of Trap cards. This card cannot attack Directly. This card can attack up to 4 times each battle phase. When this card destroys a Monster by battle; Destroy 1 Card on the field.
[b]The second Special Summon should be capitalized. This card is what makes it worth getting out LV7. Protecting it from traps essentially gives it full protection when it's attacking (no more Dimensional Prisons / Mirror Forces). The card can easily run over anything your opponent throws at you, dealing most likely a great amount of damage when doing so. The final effect of course although simple, sticks with the theme. But a quick suggestion, perhaps make it Banished instead of Destroy for this final card?[/b]

Overall these all look like some pretty nice LV monsters. I don't know how much Support they have, but I'm assuming that since you took the time to make these there are probably some LV Support out there that work with these cards perfectly, or at the least make them playable in the current Meta (or at least in casual play). Good job overall.

You have to consider, that LV5 can only attack once, and LV7 can attack twice (And has a massive 3300 ATK), still giving you 2 cards to pop.
But I fixed up a few errors, and I took the banish suggestion in.
To explain LV7 popping 1, Since each time the Hydra of any kind would be destroyed, it would multiply its heads by 2, which gives it 2 attacks, and 2 destroys total (4 Heads) while 5 would have 2 heads (2 pops).

[b]Where did it say that these monsters can only attack a limited amount of times? I don't recall reading something like that in their text.[/b]

[b]Nifty concept you have there, can't believe I didn't notice it.[/b]

I meant that Hydra 5 doesn't have an extra attack effect, but 7 can attack twice.

The thing with Hydra 5 is that with only a single (successful) attack, it can destroy two cards on the field. This can become a hindrance to you or your opponent though since it's mandatory and you'll have to even possibly pop your own cards to pay the price or end up choosing not to attack at all that turn until your opponent gets out some cards that are ripe for the popping, which worries me. Hydra 7 on the other hand can attack two times, but can choose when to stop attacking when you find out you'll have to start popping your own cards; with Hydra 5 one attack is a mandatory two pop.

First, to prove my point to everyone, I'm going to state the obvious.

This deck generates mass advantage using the Hydra Evolutions. LV3 is a +1 every time it kills stuff, but if you want just that the Devilbugs do it better. The main importance is, of course, its Level-Up condition that makes this so unique - even if killed, it comes back in the form of a 2500 beatstick that is a +2 every time it kills stuff, making it even better. LV7 is broke - 2 attacks in a 3300 beatstick means "Win next turn, if opp can't fight back". Yes, yes, I know, there's the "Good decks can fight back" argument, but if I would run this deck I'd also run plenty of backrow to bind the opponent's moves. And with LV9, you know, the only real Trap Cards this would be afraid of are Fiendish Chain and Torrential Tribute. And TBH, your opponent will rarely have anything on his field after the giant rams from LV7, so I doubt this thing's effs will ever be put to any use. Yes, 4100 is quite a giant wall, but then again, bugz.

There is a giant concept that balances out most of this deck, though - in exchange for sheer explosiveness, it's prone to terrible hands due to how the higher Levels rot completely in your hand if you draw them. LV3 can't be searched given its 1700 stats, so this deck is overall inconsistent.

I don't know what you want this to become - if you want to make this top-tier material, it needs to be more balanced out, and in return needs more consistency. If you want to keep this undermeta, the only real change I'd suggest is changing LV7 to 2700. Also, LV5's destruction eff should be only 1 card. If your opponent has nothing, it's a bad eff. If your opponent has a lot of stuff, it's broken. Either way it's one of those "bad-for-the-game" effs.

If you want it top-tier, I'll help you a bit more on that.
