Super Budget Oozy Ramp

Modern Counters Mono-Green Ramp

mlms13


Maybeboard


The goal of this $20 modern deck is to get the Predator Ooze out on curve, and pile on extra counters with Hardened Scales and Solidarity of Heroes. Ring of Kalonia and Tuskguard Captain give us a chance to trample through for extra damage, and some Wurms and Hydras join in to finish things.

In Magic Christmas Land, a game might go something like:

  1. Forest, tap for Arbor Elf.
  2. Forest, tap 2, untap one with the elf, tap again for 3 total mana, cast Overgrowth.
  3. Forest, tap all 3 for 5 mana, untap and re-tap the enchanted forest for a total of 8 mana. Cast Hardened Scales, followed by Genesis Hydra with X=5, find the Predator Ooze and put it on the battlefield.
  4. Attack with the Ooze (currently 3/3), instant-speed fight something you can kill with Mutant's Prey, now it's a 5/5 (and the hydra is a 6/6). Cast other big things or gain life or attach a Ring of Kalonia to the Ooze. The possibilities are endless.

Weaknesses include a lack of 2-drops, if you can't find a rampy 1-drop, and a vulnerability to exile and bounce. The deck isn't as fast as top-tier modern decks, but hopefully it ramps fast enough and gains enough life to hold its own against other $20 decks.
