"Put down your bows, you fools! Arrows only make it angry!"
—Callia, Hyrax Tower scoutIf damage that can’t be prevented is dealt to Ironscale Hydra, the damage is dealt and you’ll simultaneously put a +1/+1 counter on it, before the game checks for lethal damage.
You put only one +1/+1 counter on Ironscale Hydra per creature whose combat damage is prevented, no matter how much damage would have been dealt.
