I'm not pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.

Coronavirus edition. Okay, so today, I'm going to talk about one of my favorite creature types.

Oozes. So it turns out there are 32 oozes in magic. My podcast is about 30 minutes.

So I'm going to see if I can talk about every

ooze in magic. That's my goal today. Okay, so we're going to start with primordial ooze.

I'm going chronologically, by the way. So primordial ooze is the very first ooze. It showed up in

legends, which was the third expansion, the first large expansion. So primordial ooze costs a single red mana for a 1-1. Clearly, it's an ooze.

Primordial ooze attacks each combat of fable. At beginning of your upkeep, put a plus-un plus-1

counter on Primordial Oos, then you may pay X, where X is the number of plus-un-plus-one counters on it.

If you don't, tap Primordial Ouse and it deals X damage to you. So, by the way, I'm reading the Oracle text and not the actual card text, just because

it is fun sometimes when you look at the original text.

The original text, real quick, and this one, I'm not going to do this on all the cards,

but must attack each turn of possible, gains plus one plus one at end of your upkeep,

use counters, then pay one per counter on or ooze deals one damage to you for each

counter and becomes tapped.

So this, interestingly, if you had asked a trivia question, where did the first ooze show up?

I don't think someone, I think red is not what people would guess.

There's a lot more green.

Oozers show up in green, black, and red primarily.

In fact, all the Uzes are at least one of those colors other than Hanweird, the Rithing Township.

But we'll get to that. But anyway, other than that, they're all red, green, or black.

I mean, some of them are multicolored are more than just red, green, or black. But anyway, so Primorial Ouse was definitely playing into the trope of crazy out-of-control ooze a la, like, the blob or something.
