Ooze Flux

Doubling Season Combo Thanks

When we drafted my Ravnica cube the other night I got to pull off Doubling Season + Corpsejack Menace + Ooze Flux + an evolver. Thank you, Mark. Thank you.

Let me just say… that sounds awesome. Glad I was able to help allow you to do that. : )

Ooze Flux Feedback

You mentioned that Ooze Flux polled pretty poorly internally. Why do you think that is? I, at least, experienced a pretty visceral emotional reaction when I realized how it would play with Evolve.

1) The interaction with evolve which was very much in the heart of its design is a little subtle especially to the rare poll audience who is for the first time seeing the set (and only the rares at that). 2) Rare Johnny cards almost never do well on the rare poll unless they also appeal to another group. They are, by design, puzzles to solve. Many players don’t want to figure out what a card does. They want it to be obvious.

Ooze Flux Withdrawals

Mark, I had an opportunity to play with Ooze Flux + Fathom Mage at the prerelease this past weekend, and now I'm going into withdrawals from how awesome it was. Can you help me out here?

Start by having the two cards a foot away from you and then every hour move them an additional foot away. In 24 hours, you’ll be able to be in the next room.

Experiment Kraj. Oh wait. Ooze flux is my favorite gatecrash card :)

Ooze Flux is also my favorite Gatecrash card. (Okay, maybe you already knew that.)

Favorite Gatecrash Card

Hi! So now that the whole Gatecrash has been spoiled and we've seen it all, just out of curiosity, what would your favorite card from the set be and why? (You can do a top 3 or so if you can't decide, I won't tell!)

My favorite card in the set is Ooze Flux.

Ooze Flux Design

Did you make Ooze Flux? It seems like a very Johnny-ish card to me especially when paired with Master Biomancer. Also Ooze Flux is VERY Simic but why doesn't it have the Simic watermark too? It works best with the evolve mechanic.

Ooze Flux is all me. I also helped keep it alive through the development process. Johnny cards never poll well in the internal rare poll so I always have to go protect them. In order to get a watermark you have to match the criteria. Playing well with Simic isn’t enough. But yes, the card was clearly designed with Simic (and one other guild) in mind.
