Cool Card Design of the Day9/8/2016 - Today for Ooze Week, Slime Whelp asks you to feed it creatures from your deck, and it's up to you how many cards to gamble to make that happen. If you can feed it four times (or Titanic Growth it), it becomes a dragon. Flying in green?! Yeah. When you work for it through creatures.
G for "at the beginning of your next upkeep, exile your library" has got to be broken somehow, no?
ReplyDeleteAt least as broken as B for "discard your hand."
DeleteHellbent is a lot less dangerous than having no library - Doomsday sees some competitive play while One with Nothing never did.
Deletewhat about 'At the beginning of your upkeep, exile up to X cards from the top of your library where X is Slime Whelp's power'? Has a cute sense of incremental growth, and works well with stuff like Titanic Growth
DeleteAs it is, it does seem like quite the bundle of power. If your deck is all lands + creatures, even milling a modest 10 with average luck gives you something like a 7/7 swinging on turn 2
... Plus the possibility for just totally emptying your deck in combos, as mentioned above.
@Droqen That's what I was worried about too, but it's one +1/+1 counter per trigger, no matter how many creatures were milled.
Delete@R Stetch I believe OWN saw play as a sideboard card against the Ebony Owl Netsuke turbofog deck in Standard?
The only combo that really takes advantage of having an empty library is LabMan, and I'm not particularly worried about it in a format that doesn't have a ton of access to broken fast mana.
Shelldock Isle would be the other concern, and it's probably more "synergy" than "broken", being available on turn 3 at the earliest.
Delete@Jenesis OH that makes much more sense
