Slime Power: Ochre Jelly Enters the Fray
Ochre Jelly offers a flexible threat in green decks that value scalable power and resilience. This ooze arrives with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to your chosen X, turning it into a trample menace capable of crushing blockers or pushing through needed damage. Its zero base stats belie its potential, as you decide how large or small it enters the battlefield, adapting to the pace of your game and mana availability.
What truly distinguishes Ochre Jelly is its split ability, which triggers when it dies with at least two +1/+1 counters. Instead of disappearing entirely, it leaves behind a token copy bearing half the counters rounded down, ensuring your board presence persists even after removal. This synergizes well with cards that benefit from +1/+1 counters or token strategies, making Ochre Jelly a versatile addition to any green-based build looking to maintain pressure and capitalize on attrition battles.
