Our main themes:

Mutate - Get Ghidorah's trigger more and have more triggers. Only running the good/decent ones. Doesn't need to be a ton. Don't want bad cards that are only good with the commander around when we can't necessarily count on it sticking.

Keywords and Counters - Make the mutated result awesome with great starting bodies. These also tend to just be good creatures.

Setup - Control the top of library to facilitate...

Payoffs - Make the most of Ghidorah's trigger with big crazy stuff.

Backup Cheats - Don't want to overly rely on plan A working, so it's best to have ways to access the payoff cards other than Ghidorah's trigger or hardcasting them.

Usual Suspects - Necessary Stuff

Ramp

Draw

Tutors

Interaction - 4 Flavors: Murder, Counterspell, Wrath of God, Naturalize

Bonus Points - Haste enablers - Since this is a creature heavy deck that needs to attack with creatures to win, having to wait a whole round of the table each time to see if that's possible is very bad.

Left out the old eldrazi. They're probably more powerful considering the haste enablers and cheating, but also kinda feel bad.

Nombo to be wary of. Maelstrom Wanderer into either of the X drop creatures. Feels bad.
