Yeah, it took me 16 copies of Aryel, almost all through the DOM Bonus Rare Packs before I even got either Slimefoot or Squee.

Got Slimefoot the day DOM released through a premium pack... but still no Squee for me.

Slimefoot is exponentially better than Squee.  You're doing fine

This is absolutely not true!

The AI will almost always waste targeted removal on Squee because he costs 16 and is a rare card. In addition, he’s very useful for “lose X” objectives and the double objective that has “lose X” and “summon X or more with power >4”. RT also has one with “lose X” abd “summon X with toughness < 3”. He’s also very decent with “summon X in one turn” with Sarkhan’s Unsealing!

I almost never use Slimefoot because he simply doesn’t do much in comparison. There are better creatures in Green.

I respectfully disagree.  Slimefoot gets extremely large extremely quickly (saprolings are very easy to make, even without the Tendershoot Dryad).  Usually he's an easy 1-Hit KO once he attacks.

Squee, on the other hand, is a very expensive weak creature that takes up a slot that a better creature could, only draws targeted removal if you have nothing better out, and really shouldn't count for Summon objectives (Unless there was an unannounced change reanimating or deploying a creature isn't supposed to count)

Slimefoot by himself is only a 12/15 creature, provided you hit BOTH of his activated gems the turn after you play him. That is far from a OHKO. Even if you threw in a Sprout Swarm, that’s only 24/30. (In a lot of cases, you can’t hit either green gem, so that’s a 16/20.) That’s honestly not that big for a creature that just eats removal. If you wanted a similarly big creature, I would run Gaea’s Revenge or Ghalta instead.

If we’re counting cards outside of the main card, Squee is part of an actual guaranteed 1-hit KO, with Sarkhan’s Unsealing and Poison-Tip Archer, Slimefoot himself, or Torgaar.

You also have to consider that the game is the way it is, not how it “should” be. Drawing targeted removal is 100% okay, since it works. Even if you have a creature reinforced 9999999 times, the AI will still target Squee if the other creature costs less. And, saying that he is bad because he “shouldn’t count” isn’t really an argument against his usefulness. It’s just a matter of fact that he DOES count for all of the newer “summon” objectives.

At the end of the day, Slimefoot is just a creature that can get large quickly.  PQ has a lot of those.  Squee, on the other hand, provides a unique effect that can be used in combination with other cards to do some really dumb things.  They're both good cards to have, but I'd trade Slimefoot for Squee if given the chance.

My favorite combo is Squee and Fiery Conclusion.

Sarkhan loves feeding Squee to dragons...
