Creature Design Insight

Green has indeed gotten Hunger: Predator Ooze!


Then my gut response of secondary in green was correct. Interestingly, I’m pretty sure I designed/co-designed that card.

Trivia on Specific Cards

New 23 Feb 2017 Asked by gman-003 22 Comments

My birthday was earlier this week, but my trivia request seems to have been buried. Do you happen to have any trivia about Predator Ooze, Khalni Hydra, or Elvish Mystic, the three cards my very first deck was built around? PS: Thanks for all you do to talk about game design, you've definitely influenced my own games.


Predator Ooze was a top down design of the movie monster The Blob. It was originally designed for Innistrad and got pushed back to Dark Ascension. Happy Belated Birthday!

Did you design Predator Ooze?


I did. It was called The Blob in design. I should note that other designers on the team made similar Blob-like designs.

Missing Ooze Lord

New 06 Aug 2013 Asked by sirlrb 14 Comments

Let me just say how sad I am right now that there was no Ooze lord in RTR block. We were given a one drop in Experiment One, a two drop with Scavenging Ooze, a three drop in Predator Ooze, Slime molding to to fill holes in our curve, and good old Acidic Slime as a five drop. Standard is screaming for an Ooze Lord. WAY TO DROP THE BALL! :P


I’ve already said publicly that I made a mistake not putting an ooze lord in Gatecrash.

Scaling Green Creatures

New 30 Jun 2013 Asked by anosou-deactivated20170124 6 Comments

Creatures that "grow" to scale well later into the game (Gyre Sage, Quirion Dryad, Tarmogoyf, Experiment One, Predator Ooze etc.) is great. And as a green mage it's sometimes my only chance to keep up with other creature decks that have a better set of abilities, perks and similar. Is this primarily something you do in green? Regardless, please do more of it.


*/* is primary in green. Note that primary for this is a little different as we don’t tend to do */* at common.
