Oozetacular!
Duplicate
Biogenic Ooze
to grow a team, both with additional Ooze token and +1/+1 triggers. Excess mana can be spent to make more Oozes, but the clones of Biooze are where the fun really gets going, doubling and tripling the number of Ooze growth triggers.
Quasiduplicate
is great the first time and gets nuts when you jump start it. Try and save for Biooze when possible.
Repudiate / Replicate
serves double duty as a legit Stifle-mimic and additional copies of Quasiduplication.
Who else to duplicate?
Mesmerizing Benthid
is a nice alternative to Biooze until we can get the combo running.
Cutesy?
Simic Ascendency can easily accumulate counters rapidly with Biooze, Adapt and Explore. Also a decent mana-sink late game. With all the oozes it usually takes only a couple turns to get to 20 (I’ve done it by end of Turn 5 pretty regularly). And remember,
Prime Speaker Vannifar
is also an Ooze!
Arcane Adaptation
ensures our Merfolk and Elves are also Oozes to overcharge the
Biogenic Ooze
counters. Oh, and Illusion tokens and certain Octopi...Needless to say, making the rest of the team big for free is always a plus. Currently swapped out to try
Hadana's Climb
.
Ramp
Incubation Druid
is very powerful as it ramps early and even grows itself late. Goes great with...
New Horizons
! A counter and some ramp/fixing.
Llanowar Elves
is a great T1 play that helps accelerate everything. Can be sacrificed to Vannifar to grab IncuDruid later in game.
Counter fun
Zegana, Utopian Speaker
provides consistent card advantage and itself can grow late game.
As earlier mentioned, between
Simic Ascendancy
, Adapt mechanic,
New Horizons
and Biooze triggers were gonna be getting lots of counters. You may even want to try out
Hadana's Climb
, and of course we have
Hydroid Krasis
in the Sideboard.
Instant Evolution
With the Ooze Queen Vannifar we can use our
Llanowar Elves
to float then sac it and find a
Incubation Druid
. Or we can play
Zegana, Utopian Speaker
to draw a card and then sac her to find
Biogenic Ooze
.
If playing removal/control decks where we know Biooze is gonna get hit right away, our
Carnage Tyrant
s from the side can allow Vannifar to sac the Ooze with removal on stack. Also from the side we can sac a 2 drop to find our
Thrashing Brontodon
.
More to come...
