Polukranos, a.k.a. World Eater, the gigantic legendary Hydra from Theros, is back and stronger than ever in the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set Theros Beyond Death. Elspeth defeated her with Godsend, a swordspeaar crafted by Heliod, and now she's a zombie hydra.
Wizards of the Coast has revealed "Polukranos, Unchained", a four-to-cast (1 black and 1 green) zombie hydra creature that comes into play with 6 +1/+1 counters, and instead of taking damage, Polukranos loses that many +1+1 counters instead. She can fight another target creature for only three mana, and she can Escape by exiling six other cards from the graveyard, and if she Escapes, she gets 12 +1+1 counters.
