How do Necrotic Ooze and Grist interact?

Asked by noel2 3 years ago

If I had a Grist, the Hunger Tide in my graveyard and a Necrotic Ooze in play would the Ooze then be able to use planeswalker abilities while not being one?

Yes, Loyalty abilities are only normally printed on planeswalkers, but the rules actually say that you "may activate loyalty abilities of a permanent you control". So there is nothing preventing you from activating a loyalty ability if a creature has somehow gained it.

606.3. A player may activate a loyalty ability of a permanent they control any time they have priority and the stack is empty during a main phase of their turn, but only if no player has previously activated a loyalty ability of that permanent that turn.
