I put one of these in pretty much all of my decks, sometimes even two. Absolute saviour, fuck Lightforged Cariel
I really like this card. The inherent problem with its predecessors is that you had to keep them in hand and wait for an optimal weapon to destroy. Because this is tradeable, you can draw cards over and over again until a weapon that needs to be destroyed is equipped. Otherwise, it's a solid 3/4 body to help disrupt early aggros.
goodbye new pally weapon
It's good for wild baku quest face hunter. Helps against Runed Mithril Rod and Ancharr.
I still play some decks in Wild with Warrior where I abuse armor synergies, do you think Gluttonous Ooze is better? I would say despite the armor gain (which is only effective against weapons with high attack, Kingsbane and Spectral Cutlass or some Warrior weapons) against other situational weapons or 0 attack one it doesn't do anything. The life gain is valuable against aggro decks though (pirate Warrior or KB Rogue).
This on other hand has better body for the stats and the fact you can swap it for another card is huge. I would say this is way better. But still my mind boggles me.
Terrible deck idea: play this card in Hunter. Then you can continually draw it, buff it, and shuffle it back into your deck using cards like Scavenger's Ingenuity and Warsong Wrangler.
A 3/4 body with weapon deny AND 1-mana card draw?
Beautiful.
i see this gettin nerfed to a 3/3
im just glad the better than ooze is a common this time
Blizzard decided at some point that common, rare, epic, legendary shouldnt make ANY sense and randomly pick a card to attatch the picture and text to.
There are common cards that are ultra good, and epic cards that will never see play coming out every expandsion now.
What did they do to my ooze boy
Good stats for its mana cost (so it's playable even against non-weapon opponents), destroys opponent's weapon, and is tradable. How would this NOT see play? If you're playing a control deck against a non-weapon opponent, paying 1 mana to swap it for a random card in your deck is totally worth it.
It's very clearly not just a "better-statted ooze."
If weapons see any top-tier play, so will this.
It's going to be so nice being able to play actual anti-weapon tech without gutting the deck.
I think you are correct. Only because there arent any top tier control decks allowed. If they were I would say you are dead wrong as control decks will happily include this.
Edit: meant to quote guy who said this isnt good enough for top tier decks.
Rest in Peace Ooze. Yeah the Viper is one mana more, but 3/4 is much better stats than 3/2, and tbh you're not gonna be playing it in the early game most of the time anyway, and the Tradable keyword means you won't have to worry about dead draws.
Tradeable + Techcards is the real Killercombo
Tradable is a great mechanic.
A better ooze, since the fact that you could swap it if they're not a weapon class is also useful.
This does look strong. It's a tech card you simply pay one mana to trade when up against a non weapon opponent. I'd much rather have this in my deck than Acidic Swamp Ooze.
