*keeps refreshing the store page so he can add this to his preorder* This card is INSANE. I can think of so many ways this can go wrong! Ozze flux? Thank you! Fathom mage; 4 mana, 3/3, when fathom mage enters play, draw two cards. Gyre sage. Simic fluxmage. Simic manipulator(! This card keeps getting better and better the more cards you think of using it with  ) Cloudfin raptor; 1 mana, 2/3 flying. So, we cast our 4 mana dude on turn 3, we have an arbord elf out, and a gyre sage with a counter on it. Turn 4, we get lucky and land our 4th land drop. So we cast Prime speaker Zegana, Prime Speaker Zegana enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the greatest power among other creatures you control. That means she comes into play with 4 counters on her, due to the Biomancer. When Prime Speaker Zegana enters the battlefield, draw cards equal to its power. so, on turn 4, you have a 5/5 out and you just drew 4 cards! And the longer the game goes on, the more silly this becomes! Now, if you have 2 of these guys out? The game just gets silly! Going into magical christmas land now; we cast our turn 4 2nd biomancer, he comes into play as a 4/6 (!), you still have 4 mana up, due to the arbor elf and the gyre sage, so you may as well cast a fathom mage, and draw 4 cards from your 4/6! Turn 5, prime speaker Zagana. Enters play with 8(!!!) counters on her. She is a 9/9 creature, and you draw 8 cards! And another card from the fathom mage! And this isn't that far out either. You can still hit the turn 4 fathom mage, which again allows you to draw 2 cards. So getting to the cards you need in order to pull this sort of stuff off is not even very difficult with the amount of card draw you can pull off, and I haven't added simic fluxmage into the equation yet!

so I keep re-reading the part where it states "an additional amount of +1/+1 counters". I think that they hype that this will pump everyone may have been misread. Wouldn't the wording indicate that only creatures who enter the game with counters primordial hydra will come in with more?
No, that just means the counters are in addition to any other counters it enters the battlefield with. See also Oona's Blackguard . Contrast Doubling Season .

Everything is better when you read it in Bane's voice.
Your human antics and desire to continue living have moved me. Just kidding. You cannot move me physically or emotionally. Wall humor.
Copy effects work like a photocopy machine: you get a copy of the 'naked' card, NOT of what's on it.
Funny story: InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game. I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:
Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?" Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy." Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb." Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."
I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.
Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious. 
My DM on Battleminds:
no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.
Hi guys! So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic. I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked. Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon. Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in. Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play. I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's. However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks. I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real. I want to begin playing it as a regular. My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck? Or are there special rules? Are some cards forbidden or restricted? Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol. 
I have the same problem with women.
Is this my new ego sig? Yes it is, other Barry

And that's why you should never, ever call RP Jesus on being a troll, because then everyone else playing along gets outed, too, and the thread goes back to being boring.
See, this is why RPJesus should be in charge of the storyline. The novel line would never have been cancelled if he had been running the show. Specifically the Slobad and Geth's Head talkshow he just described.
Not only was that an obligatory joke, it was an on-topic post that still managed to be off-topic due to thread derailment. RP Jesus does it again folks.
I think I'm gonna' start praying to Jesus... That's right, RPJesus, I'm gonna' be praying to you, right now.
O' Jesus
Please continue to make my time here on the forums fun and cause me to chuckle.
Amen.
It was wonderful. Us Johnnies had a field day. That Timmy with the Grizzly bears would actually have to think about swinging into your Mogg Fanatic , giving you time to set up your silly combo . Nowadays it's all DERPSWING! with thier blue jeans and their MP3 players and their EM EM OH AR PEE JEES and their "Dewmocracy" and their children's card games and their Jersey Shores and their Tattooed Tenaged Vampire Hunters from Beverly Hills 
Seriously, that was amazing. I laughed my *ss off. Made my day, and I just woke up.
