Heroes' Bane — Hydra of Relentless Growth
Heroes' Bane is a Foundations hydra that arrives ready to dominate the board. The card name signals what it does on entry and in play: Heroes' Bane enters with four +1/+1 counters, turning a printed 0/0 into an immediate threat. With a casting cost of {3}{G}{G} you get a midgame beater that scales; its activated ability converts current power into explosive growth, so each attack or buff amplifies what you can invest back into it.
From a gameplay perspective Heroes' Bane rewards incremental advantage and careful timing. You can grow it in response to blockers or after a pump spell to turn a favorable trade into a lasting board presence. The small lore note on the card ties to classic hydra resilience and explains why sacrificing a piece of yourself can become an advantage against the next opponent. Consider pairing it with token producers and anthem effects to maximize the activated ability's value.
