For the Greater Good, you are sacrificed.

Trying out a sacrifice/Counters deck because Ooze are great at that. Goal of the deck is to cast, build from, then sacrifice creatures.

I wanted to make this deck budget, without the obvious additions like Ozolith that are great but expensive.

With a nod to several decks I took inspiration from. Meren's Menagerie, Pattern of Growth, and Ooze Tribal.

• Aquastrand Spider, Bond Beetle, and Servant of the Scale are early fodder and builders.
• Gluttonous Slime's Flash/Devour responds well to boardwipes or murders.
• Snakeskin Veil is the closest counterspell I could think of. Hindervines works well but costs more. Add or no?
• Acidic Slime is too CMC expensive to work as a single Naturalize/landkill.
• Why have a Deadbridge Goliath when you can have another Increasing Savagery?
• Metallic Mimic is $ expensive so I'm not sure if it's fitting for a budget casual deck.

Still needs more sacrificing routes, preferably repeatable ones. Artifacts? This has not been balanced at all and is still in infancy. Suggestions are welcome.
