Slogurk, the Overslime card art
Slogurk, the Overslime turns every land that hits your graveyard into a +1/+1 counter, then cashes those counters in for three land recursion when it leaves play — that's a self-contained engine that rewards any deck already putting lands into the yard. The opportunity cost is real: three mana for a 3/3 that needs support to shine means it earns its slot in Azusa, Lost but Seeking landfall builds and The Mimeoplasm piles, not as a standalone threat.

The Mimeoplasm uses Slogurk, the Overslime as prime graveyard fodder — exile it with a massive counter count to immediately threaten lethal, or let it do its recursion work before it ends up in the bin as an oversized counter source.

Commander is where Slogurk, the Overslime actually lives — the 100-card singleton format gives it access to enough land-to-graveyard enablers to trigger it consistently, and the political breathing room to set up the loops it wants. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Legacy it's a fringe consideration at best, outclassed by faster value engines that don't require graveyard setup to get moving. Pioneer is legal on paper but the same problem applies: three mana for a conditional payoff doesn't compete in that format's speed bracket. Treat it as a Commander card that happens to be legal elsewhere.
