Hydra Trainer Rules Text & Legality

Hydra Trainer

You may exert this creature as it attacks. When you do, target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of counters on permanents you control. (An exerted creature won't untap during your next untap step.)

{2}{G}: Adapt 2. (If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, put two +1/+1 counters on it.)

Hydra Trainer is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.

Hydra Trainer Rulings

  • Jun 7, 2024

    If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    If an exerted permanent is already untapped during your next untap step (most likely because an effect untapped it), exert's effect preventing it from untapping expires without having done anything.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    If you gain control of another player's permanent until end of turn and exert it, and then that player regains control of it, it will untap during that player's untap step.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    The value of X is determined only once, as the reflexive triggered ability resolves.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    You can always activate an ability that will cause a creature to adapt. As that ability resolves, if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it for any reason, you simply won't put any +1/+1 counters on it.
