Slogurk, the Overslime

Every self-bounce creature has to answer one question: what do you gain by picking it back up? Here the answer is written into the leaves-the-battlefield trigger. Milling, cracking fetch-style lands, discarding excess mana sources, dredging your own library: each land in the graveyard grows the body, and each return to hand cashes those lands back out three at a time. The ooze is a value converter that treats a graveyard full of lands as fuel rather than dead cards, turning what most decks consider a resource leak into a repeatable engine. The +1/+1 counters do double duty, both a clock (a 3/3 trample that keeps swelling) and the currency the self-bounce spends: three counters buys the trip to hand, and the exit refills your land count for the next replay. That symmetry is the whole design. Growth and recursion share one axis, so pumping the body and reloading your lands are never fully free of each other; you cannot loop indefinitely without a way to keep filling the graveyard. What makes the card sing is that it rewards the exact self-mill and land-sacrifice effects other decks run defensively, and it does so at a cost cheap enough to redeploy over and over. It is the rare payoff that wants you to hurt your own library, then pays you for the damage.
