Am I the only person who has noticed this?
Monstrous can be used at instant speed.
What does this mean?
Use it with Bow of Nylea.
It's perfectly on curve, too.
3 mana -- Bow.
4 mana -- Polukranos.
5 mana -- Monstrous for 4G, kill two creatures.

This looks like a slow, powerful, big-mana set. If that's true, then I see no reason why Poly here can't become a role-player in some of the stronger mono-green decks looking to dump their mana into something that will give them an advantage against creatures: the one permanent type green typically has trouble dealing with. As has been said before: give him deathtouch. Give him trample. Guess what? Nylea and her bow do both. I doubt it'll be format-warping or the cornerstone of this set's deck to beat, but Polukranos is not a terrible creature. Not sure he had to be a mythic, legendary hydra, but he's actually quite good.

It... Doesn't give me the feeling a Legendary Mythic Hydra should. It doesn't get to hilariously high power like something Primordial Hydra can... Hell it doesn't even have Trample.
Being a 5/5 for 4 is certainly awesome, especially when you get an ability that's not a drawback... Not saying this is a bad card, but it just doesn't get my inner Timmy excited.

We are going to see a lot of this card in the coming months. He is a huge body with a very good activated ability that can be done at instant speed for four mana.

Lesser art IMHO. Also its title of "World Eater" seems a bit blown out of proportion...

You can make x equal zero so that if your opponent tries to steal it they can't use the monstrosity.
