Deck Primer / Description
Replaced many non-mutate creatures with mutate ones for improved synergy. Several artifacts, enchantments and instants also replaced with mutate creatures that perform equivalent actions.
Added several indestructible spells for a vulnerable and heavily-invested mutate stack. Note that Undying will split a mutate stack into individual creatures upon returning to the battlefield, which is undesirable.
Added a variety of base options for mutation with built-in protection, in order from best to worst: Silhana Ledgewalker, Slippery Bogle, Gladecover Scout and Elusive Tormentor transformed provide a variety of base options for mutation, with built-in protection. Hexproof on a base creature is favoured to prevent targeted destroy or exile spells. Aim to hold at least one indestructible instant in hand at all times to survive a board wipe.
Best early mutate creatures to mulligan or tutor for are Migratory Greathorn, Glowstone Recluse, Dreamtail Heron, Sea-Dasher Octopus, Trumpeting Gnarr (prioritise if needed to avoid sacrifice).
Note that Otrimi doesn't have to be on top of the mutate stack for commander damage. The commander is also considered on the board even if it is not on top of the stack.
Swap-ins
Other base creature options include Troll Ascetic and Thrun, the Last Troll that have both built-in hexproof and regeneration, but are more expensive in both their base cost and regeneration (compared to 1-cost instants), so can take longer to get going.
Progenitor Mimic is an option to copy the whole stack at any point in time, but can be hard to keep track of in future turns. As long as the top creature isn't legendary, it won't die to the legendary rule when cloning.
