About Gargos, Vicious Watcher

Gargos, Vicious Watcher, Legendary creature — hydra, designed by Mathias Kollros first released in Jun, 2019 in the set Core Set 2020 and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 0.97.

Gargos, Vicious Watcher would be a great addition to a green ramp deck that focuses on casting powerful Hydra creatures. Its cost reduction ability makes it easier to cast other Hydras, and its ability to fight creatures when targeted can help control the board. However, in competitive Magic: The Gathering, there are likely better options for similar effects, such as Voracious Hydra or Kalonian Hydra, which offer more flexibility and power. Gargos could see play in a casual Hydra tribal deck for fun and thematic purposes.

Rules

07/12/19

Gargos’s controller chooses which creature (if any) Gargos will fight, not the controller of the spell.

07/12/19

Gargos’s triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

07/12/19

If a spell has in its mana cost, you choose the value for X before applying cost reductions. For example, if you cast a Hydra spell with mana cost and choose for X to be 6, you pay . Any of that Hydra’s abilities that refer to X still uses 6 as the value for X regardless of what you actually paid.

07/12/19

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Gargos). The converted mana cost of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
