Nice deck! If you wanna go even harder on the theme a few cards that hit the 'flavor' and are still playable for a budget deck; Consume the Meek , Consumptive Goo , Rite of Consumption , Devour Flesh , Devour in Shadow , Devouring Swarm , Devouring Tendrils , Faceless Devourer , Feast of Succession , Feast of Worms , Feaster of Fools , Grothama, All-Devouring , Soul Swallower , Gluttonous Slime , Marrow Chomper , Mycoloth , Ravenous Gigantotherium , and Skullmuncher

And, best of all, Hot Soup . Gotta run hot spip with Gyome, it's too perfect.

Didn't realize all the +1/+1 counter and token synergies Oozes have with one another. Makes building this tribe a lot more viable, compared to other weird tribes. For some reason, I really like the ability on Consumptive Goo. A fun, unique card from older times.

I have been working crazy long hours recently so my play time at my LGS has taken a hit! However, the only 'main' problem I can see so far is that this deck is pretty mana hungry for making cheeky plays. As far as leaving up mana for Consumptive Goo or Rod of Ruin plays in tandem with Puppet Strings, Jandor's Saddlebags and Vhati, it can get costly. It is obvious that, with this being inspired by the B/G/x rock decks of old, we are very comfortable in the mid- late game. That is of course not to suggest we are bad in the early game either, we just do more as the games go on. Playing a criminally underrated Commander helps us as we are certainly NEVER the main focus at any table.

Notably (to probably, literally nobodies surprise) Seedborn Muse is the best play for this deck as fast as possible and is quite literally napalm stapled to a 2/4 body! Centaur Glade with Seedborn Muse and Kamahl, Fist of Krosa was pretty degenerate. Most of the decks I end up running into have a Taxes or Control type shell. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite does not hurt this deck as bad as you'd think and access to green lets us power thru most Thalia, Guardian of Thraben or Grand Arbiter Augustin IV effects.

Again the high toughness value to a majority of our creature base lets the wumpus rampage away and lets us use Noxious Field and Pestilence to our advantage in most multi use per turn scenarios.

As for an upcoming 'Pre-Modern" styled deck, I am really intrigued by playing a 'Bleed Out' style deck with Ankh of Mishra, Manabarbs, Spellshock, Citadel of Pain and Sulfuric Vortex style jund deck. Commanders in the running's are Xira Arien or Adun Oakenshield to lead this idea! It's in the works :)

Thanks for the suggestions Joumba. I really enjoy playing Consumptive Goo, it's an all star. I've been contemplating Kamahl, Fist of Krosa for some time, but I'm having a hard time considering him for the land kills. He is extremely useful and one of my favorite EDH Generals. Perhaps I'll look into adding him in.

Polukranos, World Eater is cool, but I generally never have a ton of mana to spare for his ability.

Thanks again!

Sir, +1 for the amazing, superd and fantastic Consumptive Goo! People keep telling me to cut it from my deck, but they just dont get it..

Anyways, perhaps you would enjoy Polukranos, World Eater and Kamahl, Fist of Krosa for their synergy with your deck. Thy can be costly, but fun!

Have a nice day

Gentlemen, Consumptive Goo is the ooziest of oozes, it's effectiveness in the deck is not based on it's pragmatic mechanical effects, but by the intrinsic statement it declares as a specifically chosen ooze. As for In Garruk's Wake, you are absolutely right; it's better. Concerning those "other cards" you mentioned, I believe they do not belong here in the slightest way. No offense, and thank you ZendikariWol andSaifurCommander for your invaluable input.

Consumptive Goo seems like it's ability is over costed. I would find something to replace it with. There are other cards that do similar things, I'm sure. I would also see about cards that offer more chances to proliferate.

It's a good deck, though, and looks like it could be trouble in a hurry.

Consumptive Goo's effectiveness is questionable. It costs 4 mana, so how many times can you hope to activate it a turn? Is it just to shoot down 1-toughness creatures? Kind of same prob w/ Festercreep. Predator Ooze is also a gamble. When can you actually cast it? 3 green? Plague Wind is a strictly worse In Garruk's Wake.

So yeah, just a couple criticisms there. Either justify them, or I may have a few suitable replacements.
