    Genesis Hydra's first ability will resolve before Genesis Hydra does. Notably, if you put an Aura card onto the battlefield this way, it can't enchant Genesis Hydra.
  • 2014-07-18
    If you put an Aura onto the battlefield this way, you choose what it enchants as it enters the battlefield. This doesn't target any permanent or player. For example, you could put an Aura onto the battlefield enchanting a creature with hexproof controlled by an opponent.

    If there's an in the mana cost of the nonland permanent card, X is 0.
  • 2014-07-18
    If "the rest" is zero cards, either because X was 0 or because X was 1 and that card was put onto the battlefield, the library is still shuffled.
