Cave Hydra

Cave Hydra is a common hunter minion card, from the Kobolds & Catacombs set.

Strategy
This card is designed to be a different kind of board clear for Hunters, with the potential to deal up to 6 damage to minions on your opponent's side of the board with just one attack. This is comparable to a delayed Powershot in Wild, with the potential to hit multiple times through the game.

However, it fails in this because if your opponent already has multiple minions on board, they will easily kill a 2/4, and if your opponent doesn't, they can play around this through strategic positioning and summoning individual strong targets.

This card works well with others which boost its Attack, such as Houndmaster, Dire Wolf Alpha, and Trogg Beastrager. It has extreme synergy with Crackling Razormaw, as +3 Attack, +1/+1, and Poisonous all can devastate the opponent's board.

What is clear, however, is that these ruthless creatures have existed on both realms since ancient times. Each head appears to display a level of independent behavior. The forms of hydras vary somewhat between the two worlds.

Cave Hydra appears to use the appearance of a four-legged hydra from, rather than the two-legged variety mostly seen on Azeroth.
