Ooze Garden

A creature converter that trades type for size. The sacrifice doesn't generate value in the usual aristocrat sense; it launders a creature's power into raw stats, turning a dying body's combat number into a fresh Ooze of equal power and toughness. The design hinges on a single restriction that quietly fixes the engine: you can only feed it non-Ooze creatures. Without that clause, every token you made would become its own fuel, and a board of Oozes could recycle itself indefinitely, resizing the same bodies for as long as you had mana. By walling off its own output, the card forces a one-way conversion: outside fodder in, Ooze out, no recursion. The sorcery-speed lock closes the other obvious abuse, keeping the activation off the stack during combat or an opponent's turn, so you cannot ambush-block by sacrificing a chump and getting a same-size replacement at instant speed. What you actually buy with the green and the sacrifice is a power-to-toughness upgrade: a high-power, low-toughness attacker reborn as a durable body of matching dimensions. That makes the card a natural partner for anything with a swollen power number and a fragile frame, the kind of creature green produces in abundance. The trouble is that the engine never starts itself: it needs the right input handed to it, and it returns a vanilla Ooze rather than anything with reach. That dependency is why it has lived as a curiosity, a converter waiting on a deck that justifies the conversion rather than a card that earns a slot on its own.
