Card Details

  • Its ability creates a token Ooze.
  • When Ooze splits, temporary stats are ignored for determining the new base stats. Both Oozes end up with the temporary stats afterwards, however.
  • However, it will keep all modified monster types and status effects, including the damage counter.
  • Though its attack and life are rounded down when splitting, this cannot reduce Ooze's life below 0. If Ooze is split while at 1 life, the new Ooze will be at 1 life.
  • Attacking an undizzy Ooze is often futile as a common tactic is to split it during the defense phase, so that the new Ooze(s) always survive, while reducing the attackers' life. It will slow down the rate at which they double though.
  • The best way to take out Ooze is with snipers or spells, especially global ones such as War Diane or Artillery Strike.
  • After a few turns of splitting, the field tends to get overfilled with Ooze. At this point you can either suicide rush them against the opponent, or sacrifice them for mana.
  • Stacking the ability of an Ooze while Silence is being cast on it will produce another silenced Ooze, providing that Silence resolves faster than the Ooze's ability.
