Multiply Your Ooze Army with Ochre Jelly
Ochre Jelly stands as a resilient threat in the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set, offering a flexible approach to board presence through its unique counter mechanics. Casting it for X and a green mana lets you dictate its initial strength, as it enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters. Its innate trample ability ensures that any excess damage can push through blockers, making it a solid offensive creature especially in green ramp or +1/+1 counter-focused decks.
What truly sets Ochre Jelly apart is its split ability that triggers on death, creating a token copy with half the original counters rounded down. This recursive trait can overwhelm opponents over time, synergizing well with cards like Hardened Scales or Doubling Season to accelerate counter growth or reproduction. As a Light Play Foil Showcase, it adds a collectible appeal while maintaining functional value for players who want incremental board advantage in creature-heavy builds.
