Mitotic Slime

Description

Mitotic Slime, card number 61 from the 2011 release Duel Decks: Mirrodin Pure vs. New Phyrexia, represents a distinct mechanical identity within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Illustrated by Raymond Swanland, this Rare card is classified as a Creature — Ooze with a mana cost of {4}{G} and a power/toughness of 4/4. Its design and mechanics reflect the thematic tension of the Mirrodin block, where organic and metallic elements frequently clash. The card’s primary appeal for collectors lies in its recursive ability. When Mitotic Slime leaves the battlefield, it triggers an effect that creates two 2/2 green Ooze creature tokens. These tokens carry a triggered ability of their own: when each dies, it creates two 1/1 green Ooze creature tokens. This exponential growth mechanic makes it a memorable piece for players who enjoy resource generation and board presence strategies. For collectors, owning a copy of this card from the TD2 set offers a tangible connection to a pivotal era in Magic history. The Duel Decks series was designed to provide accessible entry points for competitive play, and this card serves as a key component for those interested in the Ooze tribal archetype. Whether you are completing a set of Duel Decks releases or building a collection of unique creature types, Mitotic Slime stands out for its clever design and lasting impact on gameplay.
