this with pariah or pariah's shield forms an amazing no lose combo. You take no damage, and whenever anyone tries to deal damage to you, phytohydra gains +1/+1 counters. In general this is a pretty good card.

Not that I dont love this card, but i feel like saying that it almost caused a fistfight between a good friend and I. we were locked in an hour long endurance match, when i finally had the mana to beef my creature up to a 13/13 with trample, which will end the game. Until my buddy blocks me with his just played phytohydra which is only a 1/1 with no counters as of yet, he proceeds to block my behemoth with trample and tells me that he gets 13 +1+1 counters on the hydra.... after a heated argument i finally gave up and told him to do whatever... guess what happens next round... thats right he overruns me and wins the match.... until i checked the discussion on the card and low and behold he could only take 1 +1+1 counters and take the rest of the trample damage... good card as long as everyone is clear on the rules. I DID GET THE LAST LAUPH THOUGH.

Ugh, I hate how the Oracle doesn't cover some situations that just need clearly stated for some people (like me). Such as this: How does Trample interact with it? Will it just absorb the equivalent of it it's stats and then the rest of the Trample moves on, or does it just absorb the whole thing?
Hmmm, and I guess it doesn't count as "prevent damage" since it doesn't say prevent, huh?

"Look at this creature, so like the Conclave it serves. Cut one head and it grows two. Damage it and it gets that many +1/+1 counters instead."
