Hydra Broodmaster is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
: Monstrosity X. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put X +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.) When this creature becomes monstrous, create X X/X green Hydra creature tokens.
How it works : Hydra Broodmaster
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
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.
Card named in this ruling
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
