Phytohydra (Ravnica Remastered) Near Mint

Hydra That Grows From Hurt

Phytohydra is a deceptively simple package that punishes direct damage and trades favorably in removal heavy metas. Phytohydra enters as a 1/1 but its replacement effect converts incoming damage into +1/+1 counters. Against burn and chump blockers it scales quickly, turning targeted removal into incremental advantage. Play it on curve to pressure opponents who rely on single target tricks, or hold it back to soak removal and grow into a threat that demands multiple answers.

From a Selesnya perspective Phytohydra fits cleanly into decks that want resilient early creatures that become harder to remove over time. The card rewards patience and sequencing. It also interacts well with proliferate effects and pump spells. If you build around incremental board growth this card often outperforms its initial stat line and becomes a reliable engine for midgame dominance.
