It’s a pretty ingenious farming technique, especially if you use Troublemakers that benefit you and you wouldn’t normally use for farming. And you can play leapfrog with a Troublemaker, jumping from Problem to Problem. You can get rid of your own Troublemakers and get points when your opponent doesn’t want to. A smaller Troublemaker like Winterzilla can be boosted to 7 power while a higher Troublemaker like the Pony of Shadows (even if it is already Epic) can be boosted to 10. And just to recap, this can all be done for a minimum of 1-2 AT. Moving a Troublemaker can be useful when your opponent sets themselves up to continually confront a Problem and avoid your Troublemaker. But then there’s the other part: during your Main Phase, you can pay 1 AT to move that Troublemaker. You can turn non-Epic Troublemakers into Epic Troublemakers to farm for your own gain. Epic Troublemakers can be challenged by either player and are usually associated with big villains like the Pony of Shadows or the Legion of Doom. (No opposing Troublemakers will be sporting this thing!) There are two parts to this Amulet: first, it makes the host Troublemaker Epic and gives it +3 power. You play the Amulet on any of your Troublemakers. amazingly cheap for a Resource of this rarity. This costs 1 AT, 1 Purple req, and 1 White req, which is.
Yet just as the Smooze seemed ready to devour the last bit of Ponyland not corrupted by its presence the Flutter Ponies arrived - using their magic they managed to cast the Smooze away and undo its evil before lifting the mass of slime into the air and dumping it back into the volcano it came from along with Hydia and her two daughters.Just put one of these on and you too can be a highest level unicorn! There aren’t a lot of Resources you can play on Troublemakers, and this one might be the most powerful of them all.
The Smooze was semi-sentient, able to form hands and faces but only able to express rage and malice - with animalistic roars and grunts (as well as limited speech (see trivia) ) - the ponies were originally powerless to stop the beast after the witch Hydia released it, with even the Rainbow being ultimately overwhelmed by the Smooze's power. The Smooze was nevertheless a geniunely terrifying being, especially giving the setting it was in - with the ability to grow to gargantuan sizes it spread across all of Ponyland and buried anything (living or not) in its path, completely ruining the land and turning once paradise-like fields and castles into barren wastelands - it also threw chunks of itself around that when attached to living beings turned them "mean" and "grumpy" (which despite the childish language is actually a more dangerous threat than one might think as removing living creatures' ability to care about each other can lead to apathy and despair (also without the ability to care for other beings people often develop sociopathic tendencies).

The Smooze was a gargantuan slime-monster and the secondary antagonist of My Little Pony: The Movie - which took place in Generation 1 canon, making it very different from the current series and more in line with what modern audiences associate Care Bears or other "kid-friendly" cartoons to be.
