About Hooded Hydra

Hooded Hydra, Creature — snake hydra, designed by Chase Stone first released in Sep, 2014 in the set Khans of Tarkir and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 30.24.

A deck that focuses on +1/+1 counter synergies, such as a green-white counters deck or a Simic morph deck, would benefit from including Hooded Hydra. While it can be a powerful card in the right deck, other options like Hangarback Walker or Kalonian Hydra might offer more immediate impact or better synergy with other cards. However, Hooded Hydra can still be a strong choice for decks looking to generate a lot of token creatures and benefit from +1/+1 counters, making it worth considering for play in certain strategies.

Rules

09/20/14

A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent, as well as Auras and Equipment that were attached to the permanent, aren’t affected.

09/20/14

Any time you have priority, you may turn the face-down creature face up by revealing what its morph cost is and paying that cost. This is a special action. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to. Only a face-down permanent can be turned face up this way; a face-down spell cannot.

09/20/14

If Hooded Hydra is face down and it’s turned face up some other way than by having its morph cost paid, the last ability will still apply.

09/20/14

The face-down spell has no mana cost and has a converted mana cost of 0. When you cast a face-down spell, put it on the stack face down so no other player knows what it is, and pay . This is an alternative cost.

09/20/14

Use the number of +1/+1 counters that were on Hooded Hydra the last time it was on the battlefield to determine how many Snake tokens to create.

09/20/14

You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can easily be differentiated from each other. You’re not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield in order to confuse other players. The order they entered the battlefield should remain clear. Common methods for doing this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield.
