Phyrexian Hydra and Melira, Sylvok Outcast

Asked by arobidoux 13 years ago

So... Just wanted to get a clarification on the combo of Phyrexian Hydra and Melira, Sylvok Outcast ...

Here's the situation...

I have both a Phyrexian Hydra and a Melira, Sylvok Outcast in play... The hydra says that any damage that is dealt to him is prevented. Place a -1/-1 counter on him for each 1 damage prevented... Malira says that my creatures can't have -1/-1 counters placed on them...

So, does this mean that the Hydra can block or take damage until the cows come home and not have to suffer a penalty or is that ability cancelled out with Melira?

mafteechr says... Accepted answer #1

Any and all damage done to Phyrexian Hydra is prevented. With Melira, Sylvok Outcast on the battlefield, too, the -1/-1 counters Phyrexian Hydra should receive are not placed on it.

Nice combo.
