Consumptive Goo - It's goo-licious!
Unfortunately, it emerged in an environment where
speed was too important, and lack of it was often
death. It's much better in a casual
environment that allows time to play fun and
creative cards.
In limited, very
decent if you're playing heavy black. Gives you a
bit of removal as well as a way to pump it. It can
also turn the table as a threat making it an
attacking and blocking threat that can change the
math... always a dangerous prospect for your
opponent that will make them think twice.

Comsumptive Goo
A decent card to
pump the Goo up itself ... for every 4 mana you
spend, at a minimum, it gets +1/+1 permanently
at the cleanup step. (You can give the Goo -1/-1
to give it a counter, and the -1/-1 will go away
in the cleanup step). Since it doesn't have
evasion, though, all it takes is a way to chump
block it every turn that can't be targeted
(Troll Ascetic, for example), or a way to remove
it, and it doesn't do you a bit of good.
In limited, it's a
little more effective. Not effective, mind you,
just a little more effective.
Constructed: 1.75
(much too slow)
Limited: 2.5

Consumptive Goo
Well, he's cheap. To cast. He -looks- really
good in limited, but
unfortunately he's a part of onslaught block, so
usually the game is
tempo=over before he can really get going. He may
see some play in
monoblack control, if someone is enterprising,
but the part where the
minuses are only temporary is a big strike against
him.

Comsumptive
Goo
When scourge came
out, I had 4 lethal vapours and 4 comsumptive
goo's at teh end of the prerelease. I never
regretted the vapours, but I regret getting
those goo's.
Looking at them,
they look REALLY fun, but I just havent found a
deck to put them in. I haven't used them yet.
I was thinking maybe sideboard against goblins
or white weenie or whatnot, but against goblins,
they can normally sac the targeted guy before
you can hit it, and both of those decks are too
fast to be waiting for 4 mana to kill one
creature.
Limited, same sort
of thing. Scourge guys are big. So yu cant
really use him as removal, and you need a lot of
mana to make your goo big, mana that would be
better spent putting a real big guy out.
Overall, I think the card is cool, but it isn't
very functional.
Constructed rating -
2
Limited rating - 1
Cool concept rating
- 5. (Just imagine this goo eating things and
getting stronger. GRAR!!!)

Consumtive Goo
This card is awsome. How can you not think goo is
cool? Its a fun casual
card, maybe. It'll never see play in tournies. I
heard of one guy using this
with the Wirewood Superman combo, killing all the
opponents creatures and
having a huge goo in play, now thats great.
