Expensive at 7 mana but definitely worth it if it can stick around. If you can afford the colorless land in such a deck then Karn's Bastion could come in handy. For Limited....can you wait until turn 7? I don't think I have seen any ramp or mana rocks yet (I am sure they will come along soon).

This will be awesome in Atraxa decks. You’d be surprised how few things there are that make -1/-1 counters in significant numbers. When Atraxa is out with this guy, and since it triggered EACH end step, in a 4 person game that makes all opponents creatures -8/-8 by the time the turns go all the way around the table.
Wtf this is Elesh Norn the slug. Absolutely bonkers.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
I love this card! I wish it was -1/-1 counters so I could abuse it Hapatra or Scorpion God shenanigans, but Horror is my favorite creature type in Magic.
Also, Sludge Monster works well with this, as it converts the creatures into 2/2's. So even though normally it would take you 6 slime counters to kill a Tovolar's Huntmaster, it now only takes two.
Fun in commander, unplayable in standard.. cmc is too high to have the kind of impact people are talking about on this thread. It’s synergy with sludge monster is cute but a bit Christmasland

Not necessarily. Last Standard I would sideboard in Massacre Wurm against monored & monowhite decks, and would reanimate it. This can be reanimated just the same. Still wipes out a large portion of monowhite at my end step. Then after their end step they have maybe Adeline and Reidane? Which unless they can kill this just gets worse for them. It's definitely worth testing in as a potential reanimator target against low-to-the-ground aggro decks.
oooh my goodness the slug is so powerful it's a backwards Cathars' Crusade for your opponents creatures
And did I mention deaths equal slugs and it’s a dimir legend and not mono black
oh yea almost forgot maro saids this is his favorite card in the set.

With the teeth it kind of makes it look more like a leech rather than a slug, but that's splitting hairs.
Yea, put a bunch of "slime" counters on your creatures that have +1/+1 counters and spend minutes doing that ...

Why would you put slime counters on creatures you control?

when you look at the art on further inspecting the slug infront of toxrill you see hand in its mouth
