Sludge Monster
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, put a slime counter on up to one other target creature.
Non-Horror creatures with slime counters on them lose all abilities and have base power and toughness 2/2.
Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2021-09-24
If a non-Horror creature with a slime counter on it somehow becomes a Horror, the effect making it 2/2 and making it lose its abilities ends. Its base power and toughness will revert to whatever it was before that effect started applying, although other effects that modify power and/or toughness, such as ones created by Auras, counters, and the like may still apply. It'll also have whatever abilities it had before it lost them.
- 2021-09-24
Sludge Monster's last ability affects all non-Horror creatures with slime counters on them, not just creatures that had slime counters put on them with Sludge Monster's first ability.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Sludge Monster. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
