Rakdos Vampire deck vs. Predator Ooze
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 2, 2013, 3:17 a.m. by tcglkn
So one of my friends like to run a mono green deck focused around Predator Ooze. I am running a Red/Black vampire deck that you can see here, Vampire. I have enough fliers to get past it and cause some damage, but he usually becomes too powerful too quick for me to handle. What are some good Red/Black/Colorless cards I can use to counter the Ooze.
Death Wind may also help but the mana cost will be higher.

A few off the top of my head: Death Wind (could be expensive), Devour Flesh (cheap, but could gain them life and needs to happen when only the Ooze is on the field), Tribute to Hunger (could get you lots of life but just like Devour must be cast when they only have the Ooze), Barter in Blood, Slum Reaper (especially strong with some Blood Artists out there), Sever the Bloodline

there are lots of options
Auger Spree has the best art though

Lots of good suggestions here. I'll probably go with Tragic Slip, since I can easily have him attack one of my weaker creatures, let it die, then cast it for it's Morbid affect.

Am I missing something here? You could give Predator Ooze -1000000/-1000000 and he still wouldn't die, it's indestructible. You need exile or sacrifice otherwise all you do is reduce the dmg it can do to you.

If a creature has 0 toughness it dies, regardless of it being indestructible.

Oh yeah, of course, it's combat damage that can't kill indestructible creatures, not -X/-X. My bad.

That would be way OP if you couldn't kill an Ooze in some fashion.

There are options to get rid of the ooze in every colour actually so It's not a massive threat. If you couldn't kill him then black would be screwed but blue and white would be fine. Red just can't deal with the ooze at all haha.

actually black would still have Barter in Blood, Devour Flesh and Tribute to Hunger

Tragic Slip best bet, also any sacrifice.
