@icedtheater
Yes, if X is 5 then you reveal 5 cards and you may put each one that is a permanent with converted mana cost of 5 or less onto the battlefield. Since all 5 of them are creatures that have a CMC of 3 they may be put on the battlefield
@oorazugoku
Ghoultree's CMC is always 8, regardless of how much you pay for it when you cast it.

Admonition Angel.
Rampaging Baloths.
If those are on the field in commander late game and you get this it might be game if you draw enough lands.

This card is disgusting in my Omnath EDH deck.

I have a question about a ruling on this card. I was playing a Commander game against someone who was using this card. When he played it, he pulled 13 (paid 13 for X). Now, This is just an order factor etc, but doesn't he have to finish resolving the effect of Genesis Wave before activated the effects of any cards that just came into play from the effect of Genesis Wave, such as cards which state "When enters the battlefield..." or sorts. He can't activate the effects of things in mid-resolving.

Genesis Wave - because the Elvish answer to "how can I tutor for an Eldrazi Monument in a monogreen deck?" is to 'simply' cast a spell that plays the majority of the deck.
@nelsonngyn0 - having a Primordial Hydra in a Gen Wave deck seems like a bad idea. If you flip into the Hydra from the wave, it can only enter as a 0/0 and die.
@DraculHemming - all the permanents enter the battlefield at the same time, and no triggered abilities get put on the stack until Genesis Wave has completely resolved. As such, if the first card he revealed was, say, War Priest of Thune (when it ETBs destroy target enchantment) and the last card he revealed was an Oblivion Ring, he could target the O-Ring with the War Priest's ETB, and he could target the War Priest with the O-Ring's ETB (though why he'd want to is anyone's guess).

All I have to say is that I love using this in my Elf deck with Elvish Archdruid, then playing Primordial Hydra.
Edit:
@JaxsonBateman
I know it is kind of silly to keep it in, but I enjoy the times I get to play it, without it coming without any +1/+1 Counters.

I have a foil one of these as a singleton in my Elf ramp deck. It's absolutely stunning!

Nasty Edh combo goes like this:
T1: forest tap, play exploration, play second forest
T2: play 2 more forests tap 2, play Rofellos
T3: play umbral mantle equip to Rofellos and begin infinite mana shenanigans, play genesis wave, play entire library.
If you want to go a little further praetor's counsel your non permanents back to your hand and play those too.

I like the interaction between this and loaming shaman because it means that you can just wave your entire library and never deck to it. Pretty fun card, and even if you aren't playing a deck that's based around instants and sorceries then milling yourself and ramping a bit can be good with flashback, dredge, or threshold spells and especially alongside spell recursion a la eternal witness for better card selection.
4/5
