More for less

I've been thinking how to use {Ooze Garden} effectively. And then I realized,

{Sneak Attack} + {Ooze Garden} and any giant over costed creatures for the paltry price of {R}+1{G} after the enchantments resolve of course. Swing, hit(hopefully) then recycle your huge creature and make a huge blocker!

BlackJester

Excellent!  Go with top-heavy creatures like {Ball Lightning} or {Groundbreaker} too.  They'd work well even if you don't get your sneak attack out.

Cindjor

Ground breaker and ball lightning work great! And the forcemage is a good one too. Makes them survive that initial attack then get a bigger fatty to stick around.

Gorzo

You're already green, so {titanic growth} before you swing and you get a permanently +4 stronger ooze when you sac it to the garden. I like this!

Ooze garden works great with {parallel lives} and {doubling season} too. "What, I have a 1/1 saproling? Let's turn it into twice that many oozes." Or in this case, "What, I have a 6/1 ball lightning? Let's turn it into 2 6/6 oozes"

BlackJester

Once you start combining {Sneak Attack} and {Doubling Season}, you're already on upper-level brokenness. 💎

Cindjor

Haha {doubling season} is almost overkill. I think {parallel lives} would be fine. If sneak attack wasn't so expensive I'd want to run this combo in multiplayer.

Don't forget {act of treason} sac your opponents creatures too ;)

Cindjor

If I sac a {progenitus} from {sneak attack}, i still shuffle it back into my library right?

Yep.

Wally

You should also run {gutter grime} in this deck.

Cindjor

Since I don't need regular mana to get creatures in play, what are good creatures that shuffle back into my library? Like emrakul and progenitus?

Fenster

Haha! Emrakul! Awesome!
Post posting addition to post (not to fill up the thread too much):
Any creature with undying or persist would make a great addition!

{Kozilek, Butcher of Truths}, {Ulamog the Infinite Gyre}, {Blightsteel Colossus}, the new Return to Ravnica Wurm...oh god the Wurm would be perfect.

Cindjor

Haha I forgot about the RtR worm. 4 for the price of one...that's just ridiculous. I need to make this deck sooner than later. The ooze garden welcomes the return to ravnica! Hahaha

BlackJester

If you're using {Sneak Attack}, {Survival of the Fittest} can turn a {Birds of Paradise} into a 15/15.

Plus, go nuts with this guy and {Verdant Succession}.  I'll give you a second to think about that one. 🕙 😉
