They can't be interacted with, they are not permanents. They had a fairly large, multi-day MTGO standard constructed tournament with these cards. Everyone was able to use 2 at a time, and it was a pretty fun tournament. I never found out if the community ended up beating the hydra though....
They are indeed permanents. I had a similar question about whether they were in the Command Zone or not and this is a copy of the reply Matt Tabak sent back to me:

I'm officially proposing we retire the word "insane" from the MtG vocabulary.

For those who are actually up on these and interested in Heroes for Game Day (and other variants), I want to ask you: Do them feel more like permanents or Vanguards/Emblems?
Those who read the FAQ closely will recall that the Hero cards were ruled permanents there. I remember getting into disputes with people over the merits of this, especially for variants. I erred on the side of them being permanents. I felt that for balance and interactivity reasons, this made sense. Otherwise, you end up with broken cards that can't be killed (since they're in the Command Zone).
This new series seems to fall in line with my thinking. They're all fairly playable, and some are downright overpowered (especially as emblems).
I'm half hoping that the Horde has some way to kill Heroes, just so players can't roll it too easily.
Also, what's this about fighting Xenagos in JOU? Where was that confirmed?
No where but it's the most logical conclusion I could think of for Xen being apart of all 3 blocks. If I remember correctly the ajani elspeth art shows them fighting a humongous Xen and what better way to portray that then by having him be the final deck for game day?
