5 colour mutate
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on April 19, 2021, 2:22 p.m. by i-cut-lawns
So I’ve been tinkering with mutate, I know it’s not the most competitive strategy for edh, but I think it’s a bit more viable with the addition of some indestructible and hex proof mutate targets.
I’m looking for some help on how I might be able to upgrade this deck, I’m still tinkering with the land base, I realize that 34 lands is probably too little and it should be more like 38.
I’m open to all suggestions and definitely appreciate any and all constructive feedback. Thank you in advance

Hmm, the link seems to be not working/omitted. Since I can't see the deck, I'll just pose the following questions:
º How many sources of ramp do you have? At what cmc do they lie?
º How many sources of card draw/advantage do you have? How much is synergistic with your strategy?
º How many sources of single-target removal do you have? How much of it is at instant-speed?
º How may boardwipes do you have? Do any of them have synergy with your strategy?
º How many mutate targets do you have? At what cmc do they lie?

Five color mutate is the only way to mutate!
I built my own mutate deck with Sliver Hivelord as the commander. The baked in indestructibility is great, although you have to keep the Hivelord on top of the mutate stack for it to work. I managed to pick up my commander before the price on it started skyrocketing. I went with a bit of a Apex theme in my deck (Change Thyself Sliver!) so I included all the Mythos cards from Ikoria. I also kept it pretty budget overall.
The absolute best card for a mutate deck is Elusive Tormentor Flip. Transforming it into a 0/1 with indestructible and hexproof that can't be blocked is basically the best possible mutate target.
