![]() Unfortunately for Khalni Hydra, Ghalta, Primal Hunger exists. Otherwise, there are better hydras out there. ![]() If your commander and deck care about +1/+1 counters then Stumpsquall Hydra is a solid inclusion. Still, it’s best to leave it in your Limited decks, where it’s obviously very good. Ramunap Hydra can be a 5/5 with vigilance, reach, and trample, which is a solid collection of abilities for only four mana. But hey, it’s a 7/7 with infect for five, I guess? Ramunap Hydra I don’t think Phyrexian Hydra was played in Constructed because decks with infect are usually more explosive and want lower drops. Limited bomb for sure, but it leaves a lot to be desired for Constructed applications. Monstrosity is a cool mechanic and makes a lot of hydras. I found Hydra Broodmaster so cool when it was first revealed. Double that if Doubling Season is involved. Morph is the fastest route to playability if it survives since five mana nets you a 5/5 that converts into five 1/1s. Best Green Hydras Hooded HydraĪlthough somewhat inefficient for Constructed, Hooded Hydra is nice if you have a lot of mana. Spitting Hydra is similar to Ancient Hydra, but a 4/4 body is more well-rounded than a 5/1. Ready? Let’s get started! Best Red Hydras Ancient HydraĪncient Hydra’s convoluted design (as is the case with most fading creatures) allows this 5/1 to distribute five damage if you have the mana for it, which make this creature a big Arc Lightning in disguise. There are almost 60 hydra cards printed in MTG, and today we’re taking a look at the best ones ever printed in each color. ![]() Some hydras are multicolor and it’s common to see 3-color hydras thanks to the popularity of Commander and the needs of Standard along with the themes of Limited. Some hydras in the past were red which also fits since they have to do with dealing damage which is in red’s color pie. Other hydras have an enter- or leave-the-battlefield effect that raises their playability by a lot.Īs of now, hydras’ primary color is green. Most hydras in Magic suffer from the “dies to Doom Blade” syndrome, meaning that they’re blanked by removal that says “destroy” or “ exile.” So most hydras here are Limited bombs, but hard to make work in a Constructed deck. Hydras never fly, but they’re usually big piles of power and toughness that sometimes have trample. Other iterations have the hydra grow when mana is spent or when it takes damage. To convey the idea that the hydras have a lot of heads and that you need to cut all of them off to kill the creature, these creatures usually have +1/+1 counters that are removed when the creature is damaged. Hydras are to green what dragons are to red or angels to white. Hydras are a creature type that’s usually big and uncommon to rare rarity. Wildwood Scourge | Illustration by Bryan Sola
