Boros Aggro vs Predator Ooze

Deck Help forum

Posted on Feb. 17, 2013, 2 p.m. by seevers35

I play a Boros Aggro deck casually with friends at work. A buddy of mine plays a Mono-Green Aggro deck with four Predator Ooze . If he drops a turn two or three Ooze I struggle to win the game.

I want to know what I should do against Predator Ooze . I have thought about sideboarding Oblivion Ring , but I was hoping that red had an answer other than cards like Traitorous Blood .

Yeah, that's about all you can do against Predator Ooze . I always feel this card doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Predator Ooze seems better than the amount of play it gets. Triple green is tough, but with Rancor around green is good.

well i think the main reason it issnt run as much is starting as a 1/1 i recall many decks running card:Curse of Death's Hold furthermore triple green can indeed be harsh unless monogreen.

also Predator Ooze was extremly vunarable to Vapor Snag or the current Unsummon even though i dont know any running them

There's a lot of synergy out there with the ooze as well.

Nightshade Peddler for death touch.Rancor , Alpha Authority , Corpsejack Menace , not to mention many of the Evolve Mechanic creatures and instants from Gatecrash.

anyway unless it needs to be standard Dispense Justice is an option.

Fiend Hunter will net you a creature and exile Predator Ooze . Or you can use Boros Reckoner and let your opponent punish theirself.

because of the lack of indestructibility I have never liked Boros Reckoner the few times I played it people would kill it so damn fast... something more like Stuffy Doll despite the cost can be far better at stopping a determined creatures without trample/flying

but as far as red goes nothing come to mind to deal with a predator ooze, white exile cards are probably your best/only reliable option.
