this card is sooo bad. if you're not playing mana burn and you have like 10 mana (excluding the required mountain and forest) in your pool and you have doubling cube in your field... ohhh... 20 mana at your disposal to summon apocalypse hydra. like this, it'll have 40 +1/+1 counters on it. WHOA! this is too bad.

"Not only is it not necessary, but doesn't make sense from a Vorthos standpoint (What does that damage represent? Chucking the heads at your opponent?)"
In mythology, the Hydra lived in a poisonous swamp and had a lethal poison for blood. I suppose you could say that this is covered by the pinging rule, but to be honest I think it's just a throwback to the old days and the other Hydra cards that had the same mechanic. :)
All I know for sure is that the art is gorgeous, it's size is impressive and it's rules are simple yet effective. A great card for all types of players!
Quick combo: Mycosynth Golem + Mycosynth Lattice + Apocalypse Hydra. Put enough other artifacts in play, and you can have a 10/10 creature for 1 mana!

the second ability keeps this card from being totally lame.

Heh, IamMagic never meant harm when he said it was "bad". It looks more like what he meant was it was the /good/ bad... XD The type where your opponent is dreading their imminent doom. :3

The Art Is Ridiculously Amazing And Hes Just Fun To Play And Obviously Make Him As Big As You Can Not Just A 10/10 So You Dont Feel Guilty As You Ping Away

This cared is the best! In the late game if you've stock piled twelve mana make your 20/20 combined with a Mayael's aria and you win the game!
Also the art work is great
