32 I have no idea... but probably nothing, since taint only seem to affect natural things, and glistening oil is anything but.

31 what would happen if taint and glistering oil mixed? :3

I think that it depends on how they mix. there are 3 outcomes. the first is that indeed nothing happens. not very likely as creatures infected by glistering oil always seek new ways to perfection.
the second would be that the creatures infected by glistering oil try to use the taint for their own.
the third is that the taint is stronger then the oil and we get a sort of battle between the oil and the taint.

31 Yes but I wouldn't mind seeing an army of creepers plated in metal that might survive their own explosion or if not spread bot taint and oil. Actually I would mind that but you get the idea.

33 Wait, if a compleated creeper could survive its own explosion, would it still be a creeper? The idea of a creeper exploding into a cloud of taint and a spray of glistening oil does sound... quite horrifying, though.

34 I don't think that a creeper can surviv it's own explotion, cause, it's like you have a bomb in your hand, and you light it up and hold it in your hand till it explodes

33 Well according to the flavor text from myr sire phyrexians can die multiple times. meaning that a creeper that survive its own explosion would probably be possible or else a creeper that after the explosion comes to live again which has the same effect.
For the Phyrexians, death is not an end, nor a one-time occurrence.

35 I could see what's left of the exploded creeper eventually being reassembled into a new "suicidal" explosive device, but that's not quite the same as what "surviving the explosion" seems to imply. More like, in Minecraft terms, the creeper leaves behind a block or entity that sits around for a while before spawning a new creeper.
