Kalonian Hydra Price

Updated 2026-08-11

Kalonian Hydra is a five-mana green Hydra from Magic 2014 that enters with four +1/+1 counters, has trample, and doubles all +1/+1 counters on all your creatures at the start of each combat. In Commander, this effect enables exponential board growth in counter-based strategies and is a fixture in Hydra tribal and proliferate-focused builds. The Magic 2014 printing is the original, and Kalonian Hydra has received limited reprinting relative to its Commander demand. Core sets from this era were printed at lower quantities than modern core sets, and high-grade Mythics from M14 are scarcer than they appear in open marketplace supply. The Hydra creature type has a growing Commander following, and Kalonian Hydra is typically the top-end finisher in dedicated Hydra builds. This is a stable Commander demand card rather than a momentum play; price tracks Commander format engagement over time.
