Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange build centered around the Mutate mechanic, commanded by Otrimi, the Ever-Playful. The primary strategy involves deploying evasive, indestructible, or value-generating non-Human host creatures early, such as Cold-Eyed Selkie, Predator Ooze, and Ukkima, Stalking Shadow. Once a host is established, the deck casts Otrimi or large mutate creatures like Auspicious Starrix and Sawtusk Demolisher to stack triggered abilities and build a massive combat threat. While Otrimi provides graveyard recursion for mutate cards on combat damage, the deck also features a secondary +1/+1 counters and Hydra sub-theme led by Zaxara, the Exemplary. The game plan relies on accumulating incremental board advantages, clearing opposing threats with flexible removal, and closing out the game through large trampling attacks over multiple combat steps.
