Hooded HydraXGG
Creature - Snake Hydra (M)
Hooded Hydra enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it.
When Hooded Hydra dies, put a 1/1 green Snake creature token onto the battlefield for each +1/+1 counter on it.
Morph 3GG
As Hooded Hydra is turned face up, put five +1/+1 counters on it.

Definitely first pickable in limited.
Many even get there in standard, 5/5 when unmorphed is pretty ok. You can even unmorph in response to removal to get the tokens. Sadly, no flickering to unmorph this guy.
You cant chord creatures faced down and Hydras are Green's Big creature. Blue has Sea Beasts and Red has Dragons, Black has Demons (I think) and Angels in white (I think)
Seems interesting of a card. I like token makers, even ones like this.
Pretty boring. There's a million green mana sinks in standard. The tokens are good, but I'm not sure if they're better than a free creature (genesis hydra), instant-speed tutoring (chord of calling), etc. Also anti-synergy with those two cards and the other green sorcery mythic.
Seems that Wizards's plan to get us to play 5 CMC dudes and above is to make them very resilient to removal. So far we have a regenerator, two dudes that self-bounce at will, a creature that comes with a friend, a creature that dies into lots of friends, and a creature that you have to kill twice as long as it's face up. I don't hate that. Rhino is a Drain Life for x=3 even if it eats removal the second it lands. Seems like they're trying to solve the persistent doom blade problem. Of course, with doom blade not being in Standard, it's not as pressing a problem (but *****, Murderous Cut is reallllllllllllly good removal) but it's nice to see they're acknowledging that 5CMC dudes need to offer something more than efficient bodies to be playable.
Well, this sure is an X/X green dude with no evasion/trample or anything else noteworthy. Sure it makes tokens if it dies, but why even bother killing it?

Nice! Wish the tokens had evasion or deathtouch. I like that it morphs into a 5/5 that makes 5 tokens.

I mentioned in the other thread for this card that I think they just have a Madlibs for Hydras now.

Can you chord a morph creature? Not sure whether you can cast a creature face down that's put on the battlefield from library.

540 Peasant cube- Gold EditionSomething SpicyOr you get a really big Hydra or alot of snakes
Very powerful. Likely cube addition. Super fun no matter how well it shapes up in the meta, and a great mythic-feeling mythic.
