Primordial Hydra 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.
01
Official card text
This creature enters with X +1/+1 counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, double the number of +1/+1 counters on this creature. This creature has trample as long as it has ten or more +1/+1 counters on it.
How it works : Primordial Hydra
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Consider only the number of +1/+1 counters on Primordial Hydra when determining if it has trample, not its power and toughness. For example, a Primordial Hydra with six +1/+1 counters on it that's been the target of Titanic Growth (giving it +4/+4) would not have trample.
No other card is named in this ruling.
