A deck focused on ramping up mana quickly and casting powerful Hydra creatures would greatly benefit from including Gargos, Vicious Watcher, as it significantly reduces the cost of Hydra spells and provides a form of removal with its fighting ability. While there may be other strong Hydra cards available, Gargos' cost reduction and vigilance make it a solid choice for decks looking to overwhelm opponents with big creatures. It should definitely see play in decks aiming to capitalize on its abilities.

Gargos’s controller chooses which creature (if any) Gargos will fight, not the controller of the spell.

07/12/19

If a spell has in its mana cost, you choose the value for X before applying cost reductions. For example, if you cast a Hydra spell with mana cost and choose for X to be 6, you pay . Any of that Hydra’s abilities that refer to X still uses 6 as the value for X regardless of what you actually paid.

07/12/19

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Gargos). The converted mana cost of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
