If you have a Leyline of Punishment out then this cards only down side is gone. It's then a 7/7 infect for 5. Good deal if you ask me.

Oddly enough, when combined with Phyrexia's greatest enemy, Melira, Sylvok Outcast, you get an invulnerable Phrexian Kydra.

People are complaining that it's underwhelming, but if he DID have trample naturally, we'd still have something to complain about. Plus, there is a simple solution. Pop the hydra, next turn, play Overwhelming Stampede on the sucker and watch your opponents squirm, especially if you have any smaller infectors that also get +7+7. Remember, it's ten damage to win no matter what, and this guy alone would do 14 in this instance. For five cmc, you can basically end the game that way. This card is great as is.

That's pretty funky design space, I must say.

What's that? This guy gets chump blocked? Well let's see what Overrun or Garruk Wildspeaker can do for that.
I've had this swinging on fourth turn on several occasions. It owns.

Personally I would say run this with Whispersilk Cloak. This can be a house and in a U/G infect control deck.

@Vividice: Well, Sphinx of Jwar Isle was an Intro Deck rare too..
And in limited or block, just use this guy with Unnatural Predation. After their chump blocking, of course

If you have Leyline of Punishment out, Phyrexian Hydra's ability will be negated.
