Further to this having haste without the need to sacrifice a dork more than makes up for the one power difference
Just like most other Hydra cards in MTG, Balduvian Hydra uses tokens to represent its many heads, though with only 1 health, this hydra has to probably keep shedding heads to tank hits
Surrak, the Hunt Caller 5 While a little on the aggressive side for your typical green ramp deck the threat of haste is massive
A lot of your most impactful cards are going to be in the 3, 4, and even 5 or more cost range, so you'll be laying a lot of hopes on individual characters here (as opposed to building up a wall of characters as in the Amber and Amethyst deck)
Still, in a Commander world of faster ramp, these seem like a lost opportunity
