"The Ooze that bounces back!"

The Ooze that bounces back


This is my first EDH list. It's still under construction but open for debate, comments, scrutiny, critic and your opinions. Please go easy on me!


Thoughts

(Note: Being relatively inexperienced, my thoughts might be prone to coming across as completely stupid and silly!)

  • Volrath's Stronghold has been over-shadowed in testing because of how expansive my hand is whenever it turns up. In a not-so-brilliant situation I believe this will truly shine.
  • I don't have any fetch lands such as Misty Rainforest as they are too expensive. I want them but my wallet does not.
  • Coalition Relic can produce 2 mana of any colour on the turn after it was played and for that reason I value it higher than Darksteel Ingot (indestructible) or Chromatic Lantern (colour fixing).
  • I'm not sure on Mimic Vat , it's impossible to judge when testing solo.
  • Whispersilk Cloak and Lightning Greaves are nice but I think they would be wasted spots. A fatty/The Mimeoplasm doesn't need to stick around long to have impact.
  • Cyclonic Rift feels like a temporary yet far safer version of Oblivion Stone, though it's another hard card to judge without opponents.
  • Entomb is great but an expensive card for what it does. Until I get hold of one (I'm in no rush) it will be removed.
  • Vampiric Tutor and Demonic Tutor are similar to the above but they have a far greater use and I can warrant their purchase.
  • Bribery is devilishly fun. Plus when the creature dies you have a good target for reanimation: Bonus!
  • I want Decree of Pain to be as amazing as I hope it will be: Level the field, fuel my General and fill my hand with fresh goodies. Time shall tell.
  • Despite the inability to untap without paying a small fee I like Dance of the Dead for the same reasons I like Animate Dead.
  • Body Double is the only "reanimation" spell I'd pay 5 mana for as it leaves the targeted creature open for further reanimation and you can perform some interesting tricks with other stuff in the list. One of my favourite cards.
  • Deadeye Navigator looks fun but will it be functional?
  • Have people decked-out from Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur before? Because that's what I have nightmares about.
  • Triskelion is missing from the list because while he works wonders with The Mimeoplasm and a huge creature such as Lord of Extinction it doesn't do much by itself for 6 mana. I see it in a lot of decks but I'm just not a fan of those sort of combos.

People can feel free to point out any errors or incorrect assumptions about anything I have just said. If a card has done terrible in your experience despite me thinking it will do great then by all means, please say so.

Thanks for viewing, any constructive help is appreciated.
