This guy had a real name at some point, but I don't know what it was.

I'll have to see if i can dig it up. It's probably buried somewhere in the flavor thread.

Also shouldn't the /0\ cost be in the center? (Chandra, Pyromaster, Gideon, Champion of Justice, Jace, Memory Adept, etc...)

You mean like Gideon Jura? ;P

The real reason is that the 0 ability references exiled cards, and both of the other abilities exile cards. If the 0 ability was in the center, then players might accidentally think it only referenced the first ability instead of both.

I see your point. Let's keep it as is.

­Ashiok's 2nd ability refers to cards exiled by the 1st and 3rd abilities. The real criterion is that the ultimate goes at the end, and X X/X oozes is definitely the ultimate. The only issue I have us that the middle ability is completely red.

I made an ooze planeswalker, too! Narblegab, the Awakened.
The first ability is curiously limited for a Planeswalker, but I'm glad you've gone with the "Up to one" template seen on Ajani, Caller of the Pride. The second ability, as dude181 has said, is not green, but purely red. Garruk Relentless "fights" the creature he damages, which makes it "okay." Adding the exile clause only makes it seem more red, because green doesn't usually exile things.

The middle ability is supposed to be a fight-like ability, but I can see why it comes off as red instead. Unfortunately, the "fight" technology doesn't really work because it means you can only kill a certain size of creatures, whereas the flavor here is that he can eat anything as long as he's big enough. There are a couple of ways we can change it, one is:

> [0]: Exile target creature. That creature deals damage to ~ equal to it's power.

Then you get the fight aspect, however it means he can exile creatures far larger than himself which shouldn't really happen. Maybe something like this:

> [0]: Exile target creature with toughness less than the number of counters on Oozy. That creature deals damage to Oozy equal to its power.

Or make it a 0 ability and actually fight, since damage will remove on average the same number of counters (assuming square stats are average). "0: ~ deals damage equal to its loyalty to target creature, then that creature deals damage to ~ equal to its power." At that point, the ultimate would have to change, since two 0 abilities and a + ability look bad.

I think dude might be right. The fight mechanic is probably the way to go. I disagree with the idea that two [0] abilities looks weird though. I think it looks and works just fine. :)

What if the ultimate ability was a -X, put X Y/Y tokens where Y is the # of exiled cards?

I'm fine with that ultimate. Are we going with the [0] fight ability then?

Changed the middle ability to the fight ability, changed the last ability to the -X ooze maker.

on 10 Jan 2014 by Ultimoron:

Possibly change the {0} to, "Oozy fights target creature, using loyalty instead of power. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead."

It uses current tech adapted.

Fights are specifically between two creatures, so using that wording would require changing how fights work. I would prefer to use the slightly wordier version that doesn't involve redefining game terms.
