Genesis Hydra Rulings
- Nov 17, 2017
A nonland permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, or planeswalker card.
- Nov 17, 2017
Genesis Hydra's first ability will resolve before Genesis Hydra does. Notably, if you put an Aura card onto the battlefield this way, it can't enchant Genesis Hydra.
- Nov 17, 2017
If "the rest" is zero cards, either because X was 0 or because X was 1 and that card was put onto the battlefield, the library is still shuffled.
- Nov 17, 2017
If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
- Nov 17, 2017
If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
