MTG’s Slime Against Humanity reveals new powerful ooze card

Slime Against Humanity is MTG Murders at Karlov Manor’s new unlimited green option, allowing players to stack their decks with dozens of Oozes.

Made popular by classic D&D monsters like the Gelatinous Cube and RPGs like the Dragon Quest series, slimes, and Oozes are counted among fantasy gaming’s classic creature types.

Despite their fantasy fiction pedigree, Oozes are a somewhat underrepresented Creature type in MTG, but the new card Slime Against Humanity may well see a flurry of Ooze typal decks constructed once Murders at Karlov Manor hits the shelves.

Slime Against Humanity joins a rare subset of MTG cards that can overwrite usual deck-building limits. In MTG Standard a deck can only contain a max of four of the same type of card, and singleton formats like Commander only allow for one of each card.

Slime Against Humanity, as well as similar cards like Rat Colony and Dragon’s Approach, can be included in any deck and any amount.

As with other cards of this ilk, Slime Against Humanity justifies playing many copies in the same deck by having an effect that powers up through cumulative casts.

Whenever Slime Against Humanity is cast, it creates a 0/0 Ooze Creature Token, then puts +1/+1 counters on it equal to the number of other Oozes in your grave or Exile, plus the number of copies of Slime Against Humanity there too. If that power boost wasn’t enough, every Ooze created by this spell has Trample, allowing you to overcome opponents’ defenses and overpower them with ease.

Slime Against Humanity is particularly potent for Ooze decks, in that it works very similarly to Rat Colony. It generates creatures that are boosted not only by itself but by filling your grave with Oozes of all types. Rather than restricting deckbuilding, Slime Against Humanity encourages filling a deck with all the best Ooze creatures possible.

MTG Murders at Karlov Manor launches on February 9, and Slime Against Humanity will no doubt creep its way into a whole host of green decks once it does.
