This card was too good to be reprinted but people loved it so much that Wizards brought out his Simic favoring cousin. Ladies and mostly gentlemen, I present Kalonian Hydra.

The best part is that it gets out of hand real fast

actually about the whole kalonian hydra debate vs primordial, play this one turn before or after the swing with kalonian and see which is bigger and scarier.....

Definitely a crowning favorite of my collection. You don't have to swing, tap, block or do anything with it; it will grow into infinity. You can't beat this when it comes to pure peer and potential.
I once grew it to a 256/256 (trample, indestructible), then used Predator's Rapport, gaining 512 life. Literally. My opponent forfeited.
Effectiveness: 6/5 (yes, 6)
Artwork: 4.5/5
Originality: 4.5/5

Not as combo-able as Protean Hydra, but I like it a bit more.
Protean hydra loves getting buffed (which makes it immune to damage), but this thing gets big so fast and on its own that it often doesn't need to worry about damage. Turn 1 manadork into turn 2 this (as a 1/1) isn't even that bad a move. 2/2 turn 3 isn't so great, but 4/4 turn 4 or 8/8 turn 5 is starting to sound better. 16/16 trample turn 6 is going to make your opponent start worrying. A lot.
If you just want a big creature in your big creature deck, go with this. If you are willing to put the effort into global damage/buffs that make protean good, then go ahead.

Before I had this card I had a really awesome Green Black +1/+1 counter deck with 3 CorpseJack Menace's in it. After trading for this one card I managed to have all 3 Corpsejacks on the field alongside with a 98,944/98,944 Hydra with Trample. My friend was literally speechless.
This card is perfect with Corpsejack. I never thought i could ever get a creature to be so powerful.
