Pretty much, my old hydra deck is going to need a new investment.

well, that's the characteristic of the original hydra from the greek mythology... if you cut 1 of its head, 2 grow back... it's like cutting all of its head every upkeep... Nice right...

No! Do not call it commander! EDH was good enough then, and it's good enough now!

Shaki, the way you say it the heads shouldn't double each turn, but add a head for each point of damage dealt that doesn't kill it at end of turn.

This, on the other hand, is wrong!

Rock Hydra was how an actual hydra worked in real life.

I like how they comprimised with the trample thing, but I just think this is too powerful

It's has many heads so it will eventually become heavy enough to trample anything... LOL...

I'm imaging Freed from the Real/Bloom Tender/Hydra.

"I would like to make a 1,000,000/1,000,000 trample Hydra.  Oh, next turn it's a 2,000,000/2,000,000!" 

After that you have Fling, or maybe a card to sacrifice it to gain that much life and rebound it into your hand to do it again, Lifelink!

I'll just put it like this.  If you think it may come into play, make sure you have a Pacifism and a Counterspell ready!  And what I mean by think is anytime your opponent has the color Green in his deck!

I like how everyone has a response, but then you're playing and you either don't have the card or suddenly some equipment blocks you or a random counterspell comes out or somebody has been on here ripping off combos for their green control deck and suddenly you go, I was right!  lol

Corrupted Conscince or Phresis just for laughs.

Plus you can run it with token making in Khalni Ramp and play Overwhelming Stampede.

My response was more as a joke, although it would work.

I don't know what that Ginger's thinking though.
