So this creature would never die if it was poisoned?
I suggest raise the cost...

[twinsbuster]

solution: Only raise the attack only but not HP when damaged

this card boost the use of some rubbish fish and bug

no death when poisoned,fire shield or rain of fire? nerf it,at the moments it's almost impossible to kill.

Poison takes place at the end of the turn, at the same time that the ability would go off, so the ability doesn't ever "see" the damage from poison.  The damage has to take place earlier in the turn than the Hydra's attack in order for the ability to be triggered.

I like it a lot.. does the effect work if the opponent has a Fire Buckler up? That'll teach  a lesson.

I like this idea, but I would decrease the original attack stat, to balance it to other mid/high attackers.

As for difficulty to kill, it shouldn't be that much harder than phoenix.
To make it easier, if it could be made a lobotomizeable ability, but I don't think it especially needs it.

Great Idea!! ^_^
Why not make it so the upped and unupped version have the same stats, but the growth rate of the upped version has a higher growth rate?
