AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Gargos, Vicious Watcher

Equivalent cards to Gargos, Vicious Watcher (green, cares about creatures/spell targeting):

  • Kalonian Hydra — Big green hydra, gets bigger (hydra synergy).
  • Primordial Hydra — Scales up, hydra synergy.
  • Lifeblood Hydra — Big hydra, has helpful trigger on death.


Reason: All are green hydras with synergy in hydra/creature-heavy builds. None have exactly the same abilities, but fill similar roles in mono-green hydra decks.

    Fight Vigilance

    Rules

  • Gargos's controller chooses which creature (if any) Gargos will fight, not the controller of the spell.
  • Gargos's cost-reduction ability affects only generic mana in a Hydra's cost. For example, if you cast a Hydra spell with mana cost {2}{G}{G}{G}, it will cost {G}{G}{G} to cast, not {G}.
  • Gargos's cost-reduction ability applies only while it's on the battlefield. Gargos doesn't reduce its own cost.
  • Gargos's triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
  • If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you choose the value for X before applying cost reductions. For example, if you cast a Hydra spell with mana cost {X}{G}{G} and choose for X to be 6, you pay {2}{G}{G}. Any of that Hydra's abilities that refer to X still uses 6 as the value for X regardless of what you actually paid.
  • If a spell targets one creature you control multiple times, Gargos's ability triggers once. If that spell targets multiple creatures you control, Gargos's ability triggers once for each of those creatures.
  • If the target creature is an illegal target when Gargos's last ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. If Gargos is no longer on the battlefield, the target creature won't deal or be dealt damage.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Gargos). The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Vigilance Hydra spells you cast cost less to cast. Whenever a creature you control becomes the target of a spell, Gargos fights up to one target creature you don't control.

    Trample

    Rules

  • To double the number of +1/+1 counters on a creature, determine how many +1/+1 counters are on the creature and put that many more on it. Effects that interact with counters (such as the one created by Corpsejack Menace's ability) may change the number of counters ultimately put on the creature.

    Rules

  • Consider only the number of +1/+1 counters on Primordial Hydra when determining if it has trample, not its power and toughness. For example, a Primordial Hydra with six +1/+1 counters on it that's been the target of Titanic Growth (giving it +4/+4) would not have trample.
