Gelatinous Growth on Command
Ochre Jelly stands out as a flexible creature in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, embodying the unpredictable nature of oozes with a variable power level dictated by your available mana. Casting it with a higher X value means it arrives bulked up, ready to trample through the opposition. The ability to choose X makes it a versatile option for green decks looking to scale their threats depending on the game state, providing a solid presence on the battlefield without committing prematurely to a fixed size.
What truly sets Ochre Jelly apart is its Split mechanic. When it perishes with two or more +1/+1 counters, it replicates itself, producing a token with half the counters rounded down. This ability not only extends your board presence but also synergizes exceptionally well with counter-boosting spells or effects like Hardened Scales or Persistent Petitioners. This recursive growth can overwhelm opponents, making Ochre Jelly a practical choice for players who appreciate incremental advantage and board resilience.
