I think you've missed the true essence of Hydra. It should probably go more like

Venom Hydra
XXRG
When Venom Hydra comes into play, put X +1/+1 counters on it.
When Venom Hydra damages a player, put X poison counters on that player, where X is the number of +1/+1 counters on Venom Hydra. (If a player has ten or more poison counters, he/she loses the game)
1RG: Put a +1/+1 counter on Venom Hydra, use this only during your upkeep.

And Scott, were you being sarcastic before? 4 mana for a terror anytime you want is a good deal. Yes, the card would be better, but this you can use ANY time, as many times as you want. Terror is a one-time thing.

Hydras I've seen, which isn't many, are red. For instance, Rock Hydra.
Creatures with poison counters I've seen, which isn't many, are green. Poison is a green ability and always has been. Like Marsh Viper and such. Baslisks basically have poison against creatures.

Hydra + Poison = RG.

You shouldn't be talking about out of color, you like dragons, and that's way out of color. Red has big & flying? What? Hydras seem more like lowland dragons anyway.

Yeah, I was complimenting Adam on the VenomMouth Hydra as well. The point was the X thing, in all honesty. And the ability to put more +1/+1s on it during your upkeep if you so desire. I just added the other stuff to make it a bit mroe interesting.

I don't see any reason to get mad at me, seeing how you originally attacked me for being out of color. I calmly responded how and why it was in color, there is no need to get so worked up. I'm sure black has poison counters, because both and green and black have snakes. Snakes commonly have poison-y things. Black would work just as well.

I have tried my hardest to give impartial advice on concepts, including your Ameoba, Dragons, and Hydras. Frequently, I try to back up my responses with already existing, and quite balanced cards. You have consistently insulted many of my concepts with a harsh and sarcastic tone, for instance Ancient Texts and Planeshifter. You did it again with my Venom Hydra. Either do it calmly or please don't do it at all. I've never listened to any post like that and I probably never will.

Metallic Hydra gets too big too fast, btw. Although Shades have similiar nonpermenant abilities, they also use hard mana. I urge to not respond with any 'I told you so' reponses, which would prove next to nothing in your favor.

The concepts forum is for contructive criticism. You actually asked for criticism against your dragons because we liked them. You introduced Ameoba and rejected any criticism I or others gave. I introduced a concept in conjunction with yours, and offered misinformed yet still constructive criticism (it's out of color). Don't get mad if a few concepts aren't liked. Ancient Texts and Wall of Glass were pretty bad ideas, y'know.

Glad to have you back. I was afraid I would have to go Fluffy Bunny on you.

I still argue in favor of it being red, because I just can't see a hydra as a natural thing, y'know?

I actually thought it was slightly underpowered. 3 or more damage doesn't happen all that often. I would simply make it any amount of damage and it gets prevented. Because otherwise it takes forever for the thing to get bigger.

I'm still trying to figure how I would kill this thing without the use of Descrution cards. Maybe making some ability cost something or something.

You can always try 'Remove a +1/+1 counter: Prevent 1 damage', so that it grows ever faster. However, the real thing is that there should be some sort of cost or something mana-wise to regrow. I'm sure there might be a way to abuse it otherwise.

Black spells = -X/-X cards = Descruction Cards

Do you really think that should be the only way to kill a creature?

Ah hah, but the for each damage dealt to it, it gets two back the next turn. So it taking damage is not the simplest way of doing it.

Or what you suggested. Green Hydra? Still Doesn't sound right to me. And I will bug you about that for ETERNITY!

Well, make a revised version, the whole thing is kind of confusing to talk about and not actually having the wording there in front of you.

Green Hydra?!!
