I love this guy in a Gruul deck! with cards like Pit fight and Prey Upon!! among other cards in my deck, its possibly one of the only ones that i got that just screamed aggro! though besides the fact that when your facing infect or counter decks, it can get annoying to see it reduced to a statue like by arrest or pacify, but if you get hex proof, you can sure get a card muncher!

This is just nasty in the right {G} aggro deck, combine with Ring of Kalonia and Blanchwood Armor and watch your opponent scoop unless they happen to have a dismember or Tragic Slip handy. A real threat, 4/5.

So, if you have three Predator Oozes on the table and only one attacks, does each "Predator Ooze" recieve a counter? The card does say "Whenever Predator Ooze attacks" not "whenever A Predator Ooze attacks"

This should have pro Dismember and Tragic Slip because if it falls into a hole it just sloshes around and it does not have arms to cut off.

Amazing card, super fun flavor of a hunting ooze growing and consuming everything in its path, and it's definitly priced right with the 3 green hard cast.
Black and White have tons of answers to Indestructible but Green and Red don't have many and Blue just really has Standard cancel stuff
White: Sac Celestial Flare / Exile Angelic Edic / EnchantPacifism / Oblivion Ring
Black: -13/-13 Tragic Slip /Exile Severe the Bloodline / Sacrifice devour Flesh
Blue: Not a lot of options, cyclonic rift and than essence scatter or another counter spell
Green: Just run a Predator Ooze of your own and ram them into each other
Red: World Fire and pray

This is an excellent card! So excellent, I bought 4 of them! Also makes a great card to attach to a Soul Foundry. Add in ways to easily give your creatures Trample, and your opponents are in for a quick lose. (Like Rancor, Horned Helm, etc.) And given that these are only 3 drop creatures, this should only be the beginning of something horrible.
@BryceCarmony
Blue actually has some of the BEST defenses against these. They're called "shapeshifters". Just make your shapeshifter become a copy of the ooze. Then you have your own badass ooze! Vesuvan Doppelganger, and Sakashima the Impostor are two of my favorites. But Clone and Evil Twin are also decent for this.
@AvrageJoe
Ruling for the card is that is that the one attacking gets the +1/+1 counter, same goes for when a creature dies from a predator ooze, only the one who had a hand in the kil... (see all)

This card is going to be amazing with the upcoming Nylea, God of the Hunt from Theros - not only do you get to exploit having a high concentration of indestructible creatures in the deck (Ulvenwald Tracker springs to mind), but Predator Ooze provides an extremely durable source of devotion to keep Nylea online and benefits greatly from receiving Trample in return.
Not only are all these cards perfectly viable in a vacuum, but they curve perfectly into each other too - you can drop a mana Elf on Turn 1, Predator Ooze on Turn 2 and have Nylea online with little fuss on Turn 3. That curve happens to continue into a Turn 4 Wolfir Silverheart, which is an 8/8 Trampler for 5 with Nylea on the field that can pair itself to your Ooze...

That will certainly be fun in casual.
It's a shame Extended's not an official format anymore, considering Innistrad's rotating out.

VIgilance or Deathtouch with some equipment.

At one point in a commander game I sent this guy out on the battlefield next to Avacyn, and my opponents only had the resources to make me get rid of one indestructible creature. They did the obvious choice of making me sacrifice Avacyn and left pred.Ooze and me alone, thinking they had finished my board off. By the end of the game, I was swinging 32 damage their way and predator Ooze ate them all. The difference between him and the archangel? Avacyn is only ever an 8/8.
