Abyssal Hydra

I see people posting their own content. Figured I'd give it a go. My friend loves hydra and mentioned there aren't any blue ones.
Here's my attempt to fill that gap. I admit it'd probably be more suitable as a Rare, and not a Mythic. Aside from that, what do you all think?

Huh, link isn't working. Weird. Won't let me post anything. Let me try something different...

Nope... not working. Try using the image button.

For some reason any time I click on the image icon, it opens the prompt to link the URL instead.
The first one crashed out, so I just remade the dang thing and here's a second try. This is weird.
Yeah, and under the preview it is still a dead link. Wtf.

that picture also failed. Just write out what the card does.

Yeah everything just keeps asking me to insert a hyperlink. I can't access an option to enter an image file. I see the BIH, followed by the link and the image. Both bring up the hyperlink prompts for me, meaning I can not actually bring up an image file.
So here's the link on MTG Card Smith. Sorry about all of this. Stupid computer.

what use is haste on an opponent's turn? or the +x/+0?

I guess the +X/+0 would let it block and trade with a bigger creature ... but yeah, the haste won't do much.

There are a few issues, mainly that haste is not a blue ability. Also Blue does not do straight power pumping. If it does, it's along the lines of Water Servant. And I was expecting a 
Hydra, not mono-.

JWiley129 blue/green would have been cool, maybe have hexproof if summoned on your opponents turn?

Also, it should be 0/0. (stars in power/toughness have to be linked to a specific variable in play) Or, I would suggest, you could make it already a 0/4 or something. The +1/+1 counters would add up and make it decent.
But haste and +X/+0 aren't blue, and kraken is probably the type you're looking for. Btw haste doesn't do anything during an opponent's turn.
The picture is freaking awesome though :)
hey, got an idea. Since it's a kraken from the deep ocean abyss, why not give it an ability from that refers to the bottom of the library! Could be funny. Something like, I dunno... "When you cast a spell during an opponent's turn, reveal the card at the bottom of your library. If it's a kraken, you may cast it without paying its mana cost." (which would trigger the ability again loll) Just a weird idea :)

I also think the ability should be related to something blue and green do also. Maybe like whenever you draw a card place a +1/+1 counter on this creature. If it has X or more counters, effect.
But should be green/blue definitely.
