Khalni Hydra, Creature — hydra, designed by Todd Lockwood first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
A deck that focuses on green creature tokens or a deck with a heavy emphasis on green creatures would benefit from using Khalni Hydra, as it can potentially be cast for a much lower cost. However, in a competitive setting, there are likely better options available that offer similar or greater power for a more consistent cost, such as Craterhoof Behemoth, which provides a game-ending effect when it enters the battlefield. Khalni Hydra may not see play in highly competitive decks but could still be a fun and powerful inclusion in more casual or thematic green creature decks.

For the purpose of determining the cost reduction, the number of green creatures you control is checked as you cast Khalni Hydra, before your last chance to activate mana abilities to pay for it. For example, if you control Wild Cantor (a red and green creature with the ability “Sacrifice Wild Cantor: Add one mana of any color.”) as you cast Khalni Hydra, first the cost to cast Khalni Hydra is reduced by , then you could sacrifice Wild Cantor for mana to help pay for it.

If an effect (such as the one from Lodestone Golem) imposes an additional generic mana cost to casting Khalni Hydra, the Hydra’s ability will reduce it too. It’ll reduce the amount of green mana you need to spend first, though.
