Populating the Ooze made with Slime Molding
Asked by CamperCarl00 12 years ago
So I paid out 4 CMC for a 3/3 ooze with Slime Molding and then chose to populate it during my opponent's turn with Sundering Growth . I was then informed that the Ooze was apparently now a 0/0 due to Slime Molding's effect. I was under the impression that it doesn't place a token with X/X but instead a token with Power and Toughness equal to what you paid into X (meaning that it enters the field as strictly that P/T not necessarily as an X/X). This would make Miming Slime inefficent as well, and would make both completely inefficent for Selesnya.
So who's right?

Now, Nimbus Swimmer is another issue. Copying effects do not copy counters, so copies of it will enter the battlefield as 0/0.

You were informed wrong. The Ooze is a 3/3 creature from the point Slime Molding resolves. Copies of it will inherit all its characteristics including power and tougness. They will be 3/3, populate will work fine.
