If you have enough mana to make this guy suitably big enough, then maybe you have enough mana to make him just a little bit bigger with a bit of help from a certain Skarrg Goliath. It's a little bit over the top, but hey, this is Gruul, so, you know, KILL BIGGER! CRUSH FASTER! WE EAT!

It's a better Apocalypse Hydra, but not better in the 'strictly' sense- better in the 'you might have more fun with this than Apocalypse, and you don't really feel bad about playing them both in Commander' (compared to the bad-feels Serra gets standing next to Baneslayer)

It's hard not to be scared by double strike.
But seeing this across the table in certain decks would make me wet myself.

Apocalypse Hydra's smaller, double striking, Gruul cousin.
So he's basically awesome and a perfect choice for the Gruul Mythic Rare in Dragon's Maze.

G/R/U for the win.
Play Primordial, wait, play Savageborn, Rancor, Pump Savage, BIOSHIFT Primordial to Savageborn Hydra for the WIN!
Hell Yeah!

Weaker then his primordial cousin in strait up power. The real power lies when you get some sort of Rancor on him and double the damage all potential Ghor-Clan Rampagers can do.

That delicious delicious Raymond Swanland art. All those pointy pieces.
Oh yeah, it's a FABULOUS card too! Although personally I don't think it would have been too broken to allow it to add counters at instant speed, but eh, I suppose it doesn't need it.

I really like this cards potential in the standard format. It can drop early and get progressively better over the course of the game, give it trample and they better have an answer for it.

Savageborn Hydra is a great card for standard! An average deck would play him at earliest most likely at turn 4, so 2/2 with double strike. Turn 5 is great, but turn 6 is amazing for 4/4 double strike. Then he can boost himself. No protection though, he is a all out swinger; plus the art is one of the best in dragon's maze. 4/5.
