Description
The Primordial Hydra stands as a formidable presence in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering core set, Magic 2013. Identified as card number 183, this mythic rare green creature is designed to scale dramatically during gameplay. Its unique ability allows players to enter the board with a substantial size by paying a mana cost, then double those counters at the start of each turn. Once it reaches a significant threshold, it gains trample, making it a difficult obstacle for opponents to overcome. Collectors often seek this card for its high-rarity status and the strategic depth it brings to draft formats. The foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal, making it a standout piece for those building specialized collections.
