Combo's

All combo's below assume the listed creatures are in the graveyard and that Necrotic Ooze is in play.

Devoted Druid + Channeler Initiate = infinte mana. This is done by adding a -1/-1 counter to the ooze and removing it for a mana of any color over and over.

Channeler Initiate + Devoted Druid = infnite green mana. use both abilities on the ooze to use -1-1 counters to generate mana and untap the ooze by adding -1-1 counters.

Quillspike + Devoted Druid = infinite power/toughness (and infinite green mana). Use Devoted Druid first ability to create green mana and Devoted Druid her second ability to get -1/-1 counters on the ooze. Then use both your mana and counters to feed them to the ability of Quillspike and pump the ooze up to new found hights of power. If you have Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord out on the field and 1 black mana source available, you are able to use the absurd amount of toughness that the ooze has to generate the last two required mana to sacrifice him to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and end the game.

Devoted Druid + Channeler Initiate+ Walking Ballista = infinite damage. This is done by adding a -1/-1 counter to the ooze and removing it for a mana until you can put enough +1/+1 counters on the ooze to kill your opponent. This can also be done if the Walking Ballista is in play rather than the graveyard.

All combo's below need both creatures on the battlefield

Keep in mind that all 2 creature combo's can be instantly tutored to the battlefield with tooth and nail

Walking ballista + mikaeus, the unhallowed = infinite sac triggers, add blood artist for infinite damage

Triskelion + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed = infinite damage

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Woodfall Primus + Carrion Feeder = destroy all nonland permanents opponents control

Jarad + Quillspike + Devoted Druid = infinite damage

The land combo's

Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth = a lot of potential mana

What to do with Protean Hulk?

Protean Hulk can tutor up some of our combo's. What we mainly will be searching for is:

First, grab Body Snatcher + Carrion Feeder + Sylvan Safekeeper and sacrifice the snatcher to the feeder, you do not have to discard a card! Just sacrifice him when the discard effect is on the stack. The sacrifice of the snatcher allows you to return the hulk to the battlefield. Now, sacrifice the hulk as well and get Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Walking Ballista. Make sure that Mikaeus sees the ballista (mind that Mikaeus makes the ballista a 1/1) so you can feed him to tour feeder, triggering the undying effect. Now you have a 1/1 ballista with a +1+1 counter. Shoot someone with the counter, feed him to your feeder and repeat ad infinitum. The safekeeper is there to keep out combo safe (as the name implies).

If we are missing pieces of the combo above, or our graveyard is compromised, we have a back up plan:

Quillspike + Devoted Druid + Sylvan Safekeeper: if you have Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord out and this resolves you will most likely Just flat out win the game when the druid gets a chance to tap. Just use the combo explained above and keep it protected with the safekeeper. On a side note, Jarad also functions as a great way to make the hulk die and trigger the Hulk his effect.
