Look out! It's the Blob! Actually, it's much
more dangerous because it can't be killed even
by magic (short of Dismember)! And you have to
block it but there's no point in blocking it!
And it's even more ridiculous than usual if you
give it a Basilisk Collar! If you didn't have to
be mono- or close to mono-green to use it, I'd
probably advise everyone to give up now.
Today's card of the day is Predator Ooze which
is a three mana Green 1/1 that is
Indestructible, gains a +1/+1 counter whenever
it attacks, and whenever a creature it deals
damage dies on that turn it gets a +1/+1
counter. The triple Green limits this to
mono-Green decks, but with any equipment or aura
support it is a very impressive threat.
Indestructible that automatically increases in
size is an excellent basis for a creature and if
Deathtouch, Hexproof, Trample, or others are
added it can definitely win games. Green
has many choices for a three drop, but expect to
see this in at least a few builds as a midgame
focus.
For Limited the triple Green is a major drawback
which can keep the Ooze from seeing play until
the later stages of the game in anything that
isn't mono-Green. Being Indestructible is
still useful at any point though as it can block
an attacker until removal is available, which
can help increase the Ooze's size, and it is
quite difficult for an opponent to stop.
Even a few attacks turns this into one of the
larger creatures in the format and an opponent
forced to block it is often delaying the
inevitable. A first pick in Booster if you
feel confident in sticking to the color and for
Sealed is best used when your Green pool is
already strong and can form the bulk of your
build.
Welcome to
Pojo.com’s card of the day section. Today we are
looking at Predator Ooze from Dark Ascension.
Predator ooze is a green rare creature ooze that
costs three green mana for a 1/1. Predator ooze
is indestructible, whenever Predator Ooze
attacks it gets a +1/+1 counter, and whenever a
creature dealt damage by Predator Ooze dies put
a +1/+1 counter on Predator Ooze.
Predator Ooze
is one of the more practically awesome cards
from Dark Ascension. Predator ooze has a low
casting cost, making it easy to play. It has
three really amazing abilities, making it a
worthy grab, and useful in any green deck.
Whether used for defense, or just to keep
sending on attack runs, this guy is extremely
useful in every situation.
I really have
nothing bad to say about the good old Predator
Ooze.
Welcome back readers todays card is an
indestructible ooze how cool is that? In
standard not that cool it is slow to become
powerful and is shut down early by -1/-1
counters and by powerful cards such as Tragic
Slip relegating this card to mostly non
competitive play. In extended and eternal this
guy suffers the same problems, high commitment
to green, slow, and just doesn’t fit into any
existing archetypes for now although it could
change. In legacy and vintage too expensive and
not worth a slot in your deck or the mana cost.
In casual and multiplayer is where this card
shines an infinite chum blocker or a creature
that can become huge is almost always useful. It
is also powerful in commander and I can
personally attest to it combined with The
Mimeoplasm. In limited its heavy green
commitment and slowness are strikes against it
but it could be a solid creature. Overall a
powerful ooze for casual not nessecarily
constructed players but an interesting and fun
card.
