5 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Genesis Hydra

Equivalent cards to Genesis Hydra (green, creature, variable value effect):

  • Genesis Wave (similar reveal until X, but not a creature)
  • Primordial Hydra (hydra, scales with mana, different effect)
  • Hooded Hydra (hydra, X mana cost, enters with X counters, makes tokens)
  • Stonecoil Serpent (artifact hydra, X cost, enters with X counters)


Reason: These are green (some also artifacts), X-mana, scalable hydras or spells that resemble Genesis Hydra by enabling a big effect for lots of mana.

    Rules

  • A nonland permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, or planeswalker card.
  • Genesis Hydra's first ability will resolve before Genesis Hydra does. Notably, if you put an Aura card onto the battlefield this way, it can't enchant Genesis Hydra.
  • If "the rest" is zero cards, either because X was 0 or because X was 1 and that card was put onto the battlefield, the library is still shuffled.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
  • If you put an Aura onto the battlefield this way, you choose what it enchants as it enters the battlefield. This doesn't target any permanent or player, but it must be able to enchant that permanent or player. For example, you could put a green Aura onto the battlefield enchanting a creature with hexproof controlled by an opponent, but not one with protection from green.

  • A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
  • All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.
  • If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
  • If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
  • You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Morph

    Rules

  • A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent, as well as Auras and Equipment that were attached to the permanent, aren't affected.
  • Any time you have priority, you may turn the face-down creature face up by revealing what its morph cost is and paying that cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. Only a face-down permanent can be turned face up this way; a face-down spell cannot.
  • At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can't look at face-down spells or permanents you don't control unless an effect instructs you to do so.
  • Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it's turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn't cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.
  • Hooded Hydra's last ability isn't a triggered ability. It's a replacement ability that modifies how Hooded Hydra is turned face up. Players can't respond to Hooded Hydra being turned face up and having five +1/+1 counters put on it.
  • If Hooded Hydra is face down and it's turned face up some other way than by having its morph cost paid, the last ability will still apply.
  • If a face-down permanent leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or if the game ends.
  • Morph lets you cast a card face down by paying {3}, and lets you turn the face-down permanent face up any time you have priority by paying its morph cost.
  • The face-down spell has no mana cost and has a mana value of 0. When you cast a face-down spell, put it on the stack face down so no other player knows what it is, and pay {3}. This is an alternative cost.
  • Use the number of +1/+1 counters that were on Hooded Hydra the last time it was on the battlefield to determine how many Snake tokens to create.
  • When the spell resolves, it enters the battlefield as a 2/2 creature with no name, mana cost, creature types, or abilities. It's colorless and has a mana value of 0. Other effects that apply to the creature can still grant it any of these characteristics.
  • You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can easily be differentiated from each other. You're not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield in order to confuse other players. The order they entered the battlefield should remain clear. Common methods for doing this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield.

  • 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.
