6 Cards Found

AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Phytohydra

Equivalent cards to Phytohydra (White-Green, deals with damage prevention/creature growth):
1. Stuffy Doll (colorless, indestructible, redirects damage)
2. Sporeback Troll (green, regenerates, prevents death not damage)
3. Pariah's Shield (equipment, makes all damage dealt to you assigned to the creature)
4. Swans of Bryn Argoll (white-blue, replaces damage with cards)
5. Dawn Elemental (white, prevents all damage)

Closest Similars:
Stuffy Doll (damage redirection) and Dawn Elemental (damage prevention) share the core damage-prevent mechanic, but Phytohydra’s unique growth-from-damage is rare.


Reason: Few creatures grow from damage like Phytohydra; most cards only prevent or redirect it.

  • If another effect would prevent damage from being dealt to Phytohydra or replace it with something else, Phytohydra's controller chooses which effect to apply first.
  • Phytohydra's ability doesn't prevent damage. Damage that can't be prevented will still be replaced by +1/+1 counters being put on Phytohydra.

  • A creature can be dealt an amount of damage greater than its toughness. For example, if Stuffy Doll is dealt 3 damage, its triggered ability deals 3 damage, not 1, to the chosen player.
  • If your life total is brought to 0 or less at the same time that Stuffy Doll is dealt damage, you lose the game before its triggered ability goes on the stack.

    Rules

  • If a creature with wither would deal damage to Swans of Bryn Argoll, that damage is treated just like any other damage. It’s prevented, and the creature’s controller draws cards. Swans of Bryn Argoll doesn’t get any -1/-1 counters.
  • If a spell is causing damage to be dealt, that spell will always identify the source of the damage. In most cases, the source is the spell itself. For example, Burn Trail says “Burn Trail deals 3 damage to any target.”
  • If an ability is causing damage to be dealt, that ability will always identify the source of the damage. The ability itself is never the source. However, the source of the ability is often the source of the damage. For example, Knollspine Invocation’s ability says “Knollspine Invocation deals X damage to any target.”
  • If the source of the damage is a permanent, Swans of Bryn Argoll checks who that permanent’s controller is at the time that damage is prevented. If the permanent has left the battlefield by then, its last known information is used. If the source of the damage is a spell, its controller is obvious. If the source of the damage is a card from some other zone (such as a cycled Gempalm Incinerator), Swans of Bryn Argoll checks its owner rather than its controller.
  • The source of combat damage is the creature that deals it.
