Now that Otrimi, the Ever-Playful is spoiled, I needed to design a build for him. He’s absolutely adorable, and I can stuff a deck full of big creatures and others with the new mutate ability to make them even stronger.

I won’t be keeping most hydras in. Zaxara seems he’d need to be his own commander rather than stuck in the 99 where you may or may not draw another X cost spell while he’s around. However:

• Heroes' Bane can keep doubling commander power

• Hungering Hydra only one blocker allowed and pseudo indestructible if it can keep growing

...

I swapped out a couple cards for infect, if that’s not your thing here was the original:

• Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon in for Trumpeting Gnarr (Skittles is expensive but works so nicely as a pseudo commander when Otrimi mutates with him)

• Viridian Corrupter in for Reclamation Sage

• Blight Mamba in for Yavimaya Dryad

More changes to come, probably.

W.I.P. Any suggestions would be awesome.
