Make Hydras!
This is another simple challenge. Make a Hydra!
But, I don't want to see {X}{g}{g}, Power and toughness are X. I want to see something more original!
Here's them Bonus points! 1 point: Make your hydra not green, and give it mechanics of that color!
2 points: Make your hydra a wise one! Make it blue, and it can't be a sea hydra! It has to be something about drawing ot scrying, or something.
Note: You can make a blue sea hydra and it would still count for one bonus point!
4 points: Make it a 3 or 4 colored hydra, but it can't have green as one of the colors, and it must have mechanics of every color included, and it can't be overpowered. (I want to see how this one comes out!)
Note again! Making a wise hydra gets you 2 points, not 3 points!
Final Note: Making a 3 colored hydra with blue mechanics, and blue as one of the colors, gives you 4 bonus points! In my challenges, you may only complete one bonus challenge, and they build on to each other mostly.
The rules here are the same as speed demons!
Here's how I score cards:
2 point for doing the challenge right
1-2 points for Flavor (Not flavor text)
1 point for "Would I put this in my hydra deck?"
1 point for decent flavor text
+Bonus points!
Award goes to a card, not a cardsmith
Only 2 entries per person. I know you won't look at speed demons for this.

Wanted to do something a bit weird and working on a few suspend idea cards.

Finding non-copyrighted hydra art was really hard by the way

Note that neither of them are Blue because SCREW COLOR BIAS!!! I'm not going to design something I don't want to just for extra points. These are what I designed and I'm sticking with them.
This message brought to you in part by Keeping Hydras Green (TM) and Standing Up Against The Man For No Reason.
Also, this isn't an actual entry, but I also designed this: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/hydra-head-explosion
Just as an extra thing, I guess. Unfortunately it has the best flavor text of the three (IMO).
