Love this. +1

Really love this. +1. But anyway, I think you cut back a little too much on creatures. Playtesting this, I find myself mulling a lot with hands like Abrupt Decay , Abrupt Decay , Thoughtseize , Quillspike , Liliana of the Veil and two lands. The hand is mildly keepable, but its too draw-dependant for me. You really want to have Fauna Shaman and another creature or at least two combo pieces in your opener. For that, I would go -1 Vraska the Unseen , -2 Maelstrom Pulse , and -1 Inquisition of Kozilek for +2 Devoted Druid and +2 Quillspike .

brcap Thanks for the support, I'm glad you like it!

365things That makes sense. However, due to how powerful turn one hand disruption can be in a 4 turn format, and due to Quillspike being one of the least useful combo pieces in a void (espicially now that Kitchen Finks has moved to the sideboard) I think I'll start with -1 Vraska the Unseen , and -2 Maelstrom Pulse for +2 Devoted Druid and +1 Quillspike and see how that goes. Thanks for the support and suggestions!

There's really a lot of possibility for ooze decks. They're actually pretty similar to some other tier 1 decks. This version seems to be like Jund, with all the removal and such. I think that it is to Jund like Splinter Twin is to u/r control, where one can combo off and the other can't, but in essence they're the same. Another possibility is a more Pod-like deck, with Chord of Calling over something like Liliana of the Veil and playing maindeck one-ofs with Birthing Pod . Both seem very viable. I'm relatively new to modern so I'm not sure, but I think the deck's solid as it is right now.

365things That's a fairly accurate analysis. I personally feel that this deck closer to a combo version of the B/G Rock decks that grew in popularity not too long ago before fading away somewhat. When I first built this deck, I started with Birthing Pod s in it, but the fact that I got no additional value for podding my creatures beyond Kitchen Finks resulted in pod being too slow in this deck.

Have you considered including Vengevine in this deck? A lot of the cards synergize very well with it, and you have enough cheap creatures that it could be worth your while. Similarly, Gravecrawler is powerful in this discard-based shell.

Scratch that, too few zombies. Try Bloodghast or Bloodsoaked Champion instead.

The-Xellos. Here's another great ooze deck for inspiration.

Thanks MindAblaze!, that made my day (and I'm having a rough one).

The-Xellos If you're trying to make a Necrotic Ooze deck, I know a lot more combo's than just the ones in this deck. Let me know if you want to discuss any.

MindAblaze! and Caes, thanks for the heads up. I ordered some cards over the weekend (for the ooze deck and merfolk deck). When doing the deck Liliana of the Veil was a lot more then i was looking to spend on top of all the other cards i needed so skipped her for now. I think after this shipment comes in i'll be switching to Magic Online (cheaper cards). On top of that I spent a ton this weekend on the new skylanders game for my daughter, so this thing call "money" is gone.

Would love to hear some more from you Caes, I love comboing things in decks instead of the burn or just attack with creatures.

Awesome deck! +! up vote from me.

Have you considered putting Chromatic Lantern or Fertile Ground ? Especially with FG,since it gives double mana could help speed things along

Necrotic Ooze with Pack Rat? * high fives

If you have [Pack Rat] in your graveyard and [Necrotic Ooze] on the battlefield and use [Pack Rat]'s ability, doesn't that make another [Pack Rat], instead of another [Necrotic Ooze]?

OpenFire * high fives * I even made my own Necrotic Ooze tokens!

bobtoll Nope, it makes another Necrotic Ooze. For reference, here is the ruling that explains why:

"If an activated ability of a card in a graveyard references the card it's printed on by name, treat Necrotic Ooze's version of that ability as though it referenced Necrotic Ooze by name instead. For example, if Cudgel Troll (which says "G: Regenerate Cudgel Troll") is in a graveyard, Necrotic Ooze has the ability "G: Regenerate Necrotic Ooze."

That comes from the gatherer page for necrotic ooze.

awesome

I love Necrotic Ooze decks, but I like to try and splash a third color in them. Red is good for faithless looting and haste-granting effects, but blue is great for hedron crab and prognostic sphinx, if you want hexproof.

Rakdont I think I am pretty adamant on this staying , but I have definately been considering a seperate, Grixis Necrotic Ooze deck involving Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.
