Scavenging Ooze

By cracking packs I opened stuff for 50+ bucks and traded it for pile of cards I need and another pile of cards for trade. Thing is that I got my hands on 4x Scavenging Ooze . What are your price predictions? Will it drop after rotating?
Thank you.

If Green/Black modern players want to play Bitterblossom they will need lifegain once provided by Deathrite Shaman . So I think Scavenging Ooze is way to go. Some more opinions?

It all depends on how things play out with DRS's ban. I suspect he'll be upped to a 2-3 of in pod. taking the spot of gy hate. He should also be used in other G based decks for similar reasons. But this is if pod is played now that faeries are a possible thing in modern and players jump ship to other decks to deal with the new meta. living end will hate to play against him also.
I think he'll be a 10-15$ rare when all things settle, long after rotation, unless something else changes to make it worth while to play him in other formats.
He's a solid card all the way around and does enough to make other decks cringe. I can even see him in naya zoo as a finisher.

Jp3ngu1nb0y Scooze is not really a budget goyf, although they tend to both get ran in the same deck, they fill different purposes.
I can see Scavenging Ooze going up in price a little with the new ban, probably not by much though. I personally wont be running Bitterblossom but I still need something in the way of yard hate, so im going with scooze to replace DrS

I've seen a few people use him that way. The other benefit is that he can hurt opposing Goyfs, which is funny.

Well, it's possible that Modern's loss of DRS will make allow him to see some extra action on the Modern scene. Aside from that, he's mostly just budget Goyf.
I doubt he'll drop lower than maybe $5.
