oooh, nice one, Turd.
...who rated my comment a 2.5? its a fairly average comment, yes, but seriously, who goes around rating comments on cards and feels it necessary to rate things halfway? What could possibly compel a person to waste a second rating a meaningless comment if it didnt strike them as especially good or bad? XD I find it kind of funny, actually.

An okay Hydra. Really, the power up ability costs quite a bit, you'd be better off using some other method of counter multiplication.

For one thing, the cost to put 1 counter on this thing is 3 Lightning Bolts.

Doesn't seem too terrible if you're using a proliferate mechanic. Still, 3 for a single +1/+1 counter is pretty harsh.

@Kryptnyt:

Then you won't mind if I rate your comment a 2.5?

It's not that bad. I'd most likely play it in a red-green +1/+1 counter deck, with cards like forgotten ancient, and Ulasht, the Hate Seed and decree of savagery. In such a deck it's an aggressive turn two play, that can grow over time, and in the late game with the help of other cards burninate everything.

It's also neat if you can give it vigilance or untap it somehow. Get four +1/+1 counters on it for example, attack for 5, tap it and burninate the player for four more damage.

On one hand, its way cheaper than triskelion and has its own counter generation. On the other, triskelion comes with 3 counters ready to go, can ping with 1 counter at a time, and can gain counters way more easily since its an artifact (steel overseer, etc.). I'd pick triskelion.
