Everyone talking about needing an ooze commander, not realizing that Prime Speaker Vannifar is coming out soon in the same set...
yeah but I think people want something with tribal relevance. I mean, if all you care about is that your commander is an ooze, we already have Mimeoplasm,

If it made copies of itself... the copy would make a copy when it enters, and that copy would make a copy...
just add "if its not a token" to "when BO etb"
i dont think the activated aby should create copies though.
its strategically more interesting if its etb did, cause now its activated ability becomes advantage instead of making it obvious for the opp what to do
of course, that only considers it in a vacuum, theres all sorts of ways to make it tough for your opp synerginzing it in a deck. still, 5 mana for 6 power thats very easily reduced to 2 doesnt feel hot

Except The Mimeoplasm loses its name and all of its subtypes due to its own ability, so, unlike Vannifar, it wouldn't get the +1/+1 counters from Biogenic Ooze unless it copied another Ooze.
An Ooze commander (that specifically cares about oozes in its textbox) would make no sense at this point. There are only 30 Oozes in Magic; they are spread over four colors, two of them are silver-bordered, and while they have some mechanic identity in +1/+1 counters, there simply aren't enough oozes to fuel a true, somewhat efficient tribal deck - unless you put some ridiculous abilities on the commander card just to support the tribe, at which point the deck wouldn't really be able to function as ooze tribal without its commander.
Maybe in 3-4 years, but now's not the time.
It sounds about where we were on Cats before they issued a Cat commander precon in Arahbo. There may have techniocally been more than 30 cats, but the majority of them were not viable Commander inclusions (who's gonna run Savannah Lions or Regathan Firecat or Trained Cheetah in a commander deck?). They printed Arahbo and a bunch of new tribal support cards for it anyway.

Sure, Wizards could push the tribe if they specifically put out an Ooze Tribal Commander precon. But chances for that are pretty slim, and if you ignore that possibility, it will take a while until there's a critical mass of Commander viable inclusions in the tribe. You can print cats as "cat people" in a lot of sets and at a pretty high density - oozes, not so much.
Not the ETB ability obviouslly
This is kind of hilarious. We need a ooze Commander

Or an ooze that can make a token clone of a creature that died except it is an ooze in addition to its other types...
Or an ooze that gets bigger for every other ooze and creates copies of itself whenever it takes damage.

No experiment one? Or predator ooze?
