Hydra Broodmaster Rulings

  • Apr 26, 2014

    An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.

  • Apr 26, 2014

    Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.

  • Apr 26, 2014

    Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.

  • Apr 26, 2014

    The value of each X in Hydra Broodmaster's last ability is equal to the value chosen for X when its monstrosity ability was activated.
