Mitotic Slime

Description

The 2010 release of Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2011 includes Mitotic Slime as card number 185. This rare green Ooze creature costs four generic mana and one green mana to cast. It enters the battlefield as a 4/4 body, providing immediate board presence for green-based strategies. The card’s mechanics focus on recursion. When Mitotic Slime leaves the battlefield, it creates two 2/2 green Ooze tokens. These tokens carry a triggered ability that generates two 1/1 Ooze tokens upon their own death. This creates a potential chain of token generation that can overwhelm opponents or fuel sacrifice effects. The shimmering finish highlights the artwork by Raymond Swanland and distinguishes this version from the regular rarity copies. As Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards continue to gain value, rare foils from early 2010s core sets remain sought after. Completing the M11 set requires tracking down this foil variant, which appeals to dedicated enthusiasts of the format. The recursive nature of the card makes it a memorable piece of the game's history.
