Ooze or Goyf in BUG?
Modern forum
Posted on June 2, 2013, 1:04 a.m. by Brett05
This is my deck, Do the Creep, and i think Scavenging Ooze fits in better than Tarmogoyf . I would like to hear some opinions, and any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Scavenging Ooze loses a lot of value beyond the first one resolving (as you only have so much mana to spend and that there's only so many creatures that end up in graveyards) while Tarmogoyf will be big whether it's the 1st to hit the field or the 4th. It would probably be best to go with a split of both or even treat one as copies 5+ of the other.

Also it's worth noting that Damping Matrix in your sideboard is quite anti synergistic with the ooze while goyf doesn't care.

Yeah damping matrix will probably be switched out, I just have it in for kiki or splinter twin match ups, but for my deck which creature fits better. I know goyf is stronger, but would three interactions with deathrite and snapcaster effect it too much to be worth it?

The ooze can be used as graveyard hate, and you only have 3 sorceries in your deck so Tarmogoyf be at its best.

So it would seem ooze is better here? And thanks for the help

It doesn't sound so crazy to say both, does it? No, okay, BOTH! Lol
