Consuming Blob

Creature — Ooze3 generic manaGreen manaGreen mana

Here is a self-fueling engine that measures itself in card-type diversity rather than raw graveyard count, and that reframing shapes everything the deck around it wants to do. Most graveyard payoffs reward you for a full bin: cards milled, creatures dead, delve fodder piled up. This one asks a narrower and more interesting question, how many different kinds of cards you have thrown away. A creature, an instant, a sorcery, an enchantment, a land: five types is a wall of stats and every token that follows matches it. That pushes you toward a spread of card types in the deck and toward filling the yard efficiently rather than deeply, a different building instinct than the pile-it-high graveyard decks reward. The end-step trigger is where the engine compounds: each Ooze token carries the same self-reading clause, so the board's total size scales with the graveyard uniformly, and every one of them grows in lockstep as new types hit the bin. Given a few turns and a widening yard, the count climbs and the army climbs with it, a token generator whose output is indexed to the same number that governs the caster. The trigger's timing on your own end step means the tokens arrive after your combat and sit ready to attack the following turn, so the payoff is patient by construction: it wants time and a varied yard, and it rewards both by turning graveyard bookkeeping into a widening board.
