Oracle Printed Card Name: Khalni Hydra Mana Cost: Converted Mana Cost: 8 Types: Creature — Hydra Card Text: less to cast for each green creature you control. This spell costsless to cast for each green creature you control. Trample Flavor Text: "In ages past, bargains were struck and promises were made. Now we must collect on our debt. Begin the hymns." —Moruul, Khalni druid P/T: 8 / 8 Expansion: Rise of the Eldrazi Rarity: Mythic Rare Card Number: 192 Artist: Todd Lockwood Rulings For the purpose of determining the cost reduction, the number of green creatures you control is checked as you cast Khalni Hydra, before your last chance to activate mana abilities to pay for it. For example, if you control Wild Cantor (a red and green creature with the ability “Sacrifice Wild Cantor: Add one mana of any color.”) as you cast Khalni Hydra, first the cost to cast Khalni Hydra is reduced by , then you could sacrifice Wild Cantor for mana to help pay for it. Khalni Hydra’s cost reduction effect doesn’t change its mana cost or converted mana cost. If an effect (such as the one from Lodestone Golem) imposes an additional generic mana cost to casting Khalni Hydra, the Hydra’s ability will reduce it too. It’ll reduce the amount of green mana you need to spend first, though.
