I like the card (including the art). Sadly it's a bit weak. It should count itself, so it comes basically with two counters into play.
It's best if you can give it persist, like with cauldron of souls. Then you just give it persist each turn, turn all it's counters into creatures, and when it persists back to play it's even larger. ^^

Daikoru, this is much better than Yavimaya Kavu, because:
2/1/2006 Creatures that are both red and green provide two +1/+1 counters.
So if your first 3 turns are Wild Cantor/Scab-Clan Mauler/Burning-Tree Shaman, this guy comes in on turn 4 as a 6/6.

I ran a few of these in a Gruul deck, just so I could drain all the counters into Saprolings and drop another to ping everything.

Gilder Barin says this card is great! This is going into my saproling deck as a backup for Ghave, Guru of Spores because it costs less (mana and money) and potentially comes with more counters.

Fun times with this Hydra Hellion. Get some Boartusk Lieges on the field and his stats will spike in a hurry. And like his good friend Apocalypse Hydra, you should give him Runes of the Deus.

I once had one of these bad boys in the triple digits.
I was in a ten person multiplayer where everybody had a range of 1 and I was playing my 120+ card R/G/B deck I like to call Munchy. I had a doubling season out, dropped a mycoloth nomming 4 creature tokens getting 16 +1/+1 counters. Next turn I made 32 saproling tokens, top-decked and dropped another Doubling Season followed by a 132/132 Ulasht, the Hate Seed. I did not win that game, but it was darn fun.
As a side note, I do not run tutors in that deck and it's MOSTLY singleton spells. To find a single doubling season in it is difficult, finding 2 is just a miracle.

I know the name is weird, but run with 4 Tattermunge Maniacs.
"My turn. I'll play a forth-turn 8/8 now." :P
I think Khalni Hydra likes this, too.

Probably wrecks face with Mycoloth?

clearly should be a Plant Spawn Hydra Hellion. Needs errata. ;)
