Not that I've ever had a problem with hydras passing out, but, on the other hand, I always take the easily justifiable 40 points!   
Unless you're 2player vs. Abysia (or similar matchup) I wouldn't take cold.

Hydrae are awful.  At 250 gold nonsacred, every one is worse than buying another witch king in terms of upkeep, and give you a lot less value for that gold.  I would never buy a hydra unless I was planning on getting it killed in a turn or two. 
Androphag archers and cavalry are the worthwhile troop choices for building an army.
