NeoRWBY65 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Just 3 of them, but they are kinda wacky Predator Hydra XX b/r g/r b/g (slashes means hybrid mana of those colors) Creature-Hydra Predator Hydra enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it. Devour X (As this enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This creature enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it for each of those creatures.) 0/0 Consuming Ooze B b/g G Creature-Slime Inspired- When Consuming Ooze untaps, put a token that is a copy of Consuming Ooze with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is Consuming Ooze's power. When a creature an opponent controls dies, put a token that is a copy of Consuming Ooze with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is Consuming Ooze's power. 1/1 Content Sliver 8U Creature-Sliver Affinity for Slivers (This spell costs 1 less to cast for each Sliver you control.) Sliver creature spells you cast have affinity for Slivers. (They cost 1 less to cast for each Sliver you control.) 4/4 I had another one, but it morphed into the sliver.

Trebuchet MS Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 For undecided name, I suggest Snowballing Slime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoRWBY65 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I didn't go with your name exactly, but it gave me an idea for the actual name. Now, what are your thoughts on the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Granting Affinity to Slivers can potentially push them to great heights, but it's counterbalanced by its winmoar - if you need to cast this at its cheapest you'll need a massive field that you can already curbstomp the opponent with. But in a Sliver EDH which is infamous for vomiting Slivers once it gets rolling, this can almost amount to a one-sided Aluren for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoRWBY65 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I just looked at where I wrote down the outline for the sliver, and just realized that it was originally 5U instead of what it is now. I would like an opinion on the hydra, then I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 There's only one other card I recall with Devour X (Thromok the Insatiable), and the Hydra seems like an almost immediate nonlegendary upgrade to it. 3 flexible mana for the same results, with the option of sinking in additional mana to put more counters on it. Or opt to not devour anything and turn this into a mana sink. That is, unless you somehow intended the Devour X limit to be tied to the X in the hydra's cost.

Why would you consider playing it without devouring anything? 5 mana for a 1/1 with Devour 1, 7 for a 2/2 with Devour 2, 9 for a 3/3 with Devour 3, please tell me why the hydra isn't getting fed.

Yes, that's inefficient use of mana. I've yet to come up with a situation where doing so would be a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only situation I could think of would be if you just got board wiped and have nothing to devour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
