Enhanced Evolution (Sultai Mutate) Commander 2020 Precon Upgrade | $20, $200 | Budget Commander 

I realize I'm quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream new tv shows online?

@Calvin Nathaniel i watch on flixzone. You can find it on google =)

Worth noting that this also works with Undying. If a creature on the mutate stack has undying, the whole stack goes to the graveyard, splits apart, and every creature in the stack returns separate with a counter on it

Oops sorry! The upgraded list and $200 upgrade are in the article

Yup, it makes sense because the top card (the one with all the effects) is ONE card (separate from it's mutate pile) in the graveyard when the ability goes to look for it. The mutate pile doesn't remain as such while in the graveyard.

this was talked about on twitter. people confirmed to tomer, that it should work. most likely a bug on mtgo or a very specific ruling

I was told by a judge online that it works the way I hoped, but I could definitely be wrong. Thank you for the replacement suggestions, they're great!

@@tomerabramovici32 You should ask Eli on his blog. If he says it works it works. elishffrn.tumblr.com/ask

It definitely works the way it’s said in the video. It says when it is put into the graveyard from the battlefield aka: Dies. You pay 1 life as the mutated creature dies returning the whole mutated creature to your hand (every card that was mutated onto). Makes sense to me.

Literary just won with this.. hes forgetting that the comander is a 6/6 and unblockable is deadly as hell

There are just better options

Yes, it is. Except your creature gets exiled.

Why would the creature get exiled? Wouldn’t it return to my hand?

@@Ozzymortal No, sorry, what I meant was: if someone plays e.g. a Swords to Plowshares on it, the Strider doesn't help.

Feyamius oh yeah that makes more sense lol that’ll probably be the counters for mutate decks for sure

An argument could be made for white with the go wide tokenmaking strategy, but together with the red mutate creatures they don't have much to offer compared to diluting the manabase for 4 or even 5C. BUG allready gives you all the best mutate options and the colors have all the support you'll ever need be it ramp card draw or efficient creatures. In BUG there are 21 mutate creatures and 3 that care about mutating which is plenty "tribe" members considering how mana intensive the strategy is. You'd rather spend your card slots to make more mana and have great mutate targets than to fix 5 colors for 3 cards (the other non jeskai legendary creatures with mutate)

@@DarthTUK They could have made the face commander have a sultai cost but some kind of 5c mutate ability like "you may cast a creature from your hand as if it had mutate" which would make it super flexible and interesting. As is this limits you to basically only what you get in the precon and doesn't allow you to play around with any of the interesting Apex creatures aside from boring old Brokkos which you don't even want in this deck

@@MidgarMerc that's exactly what they should have done. Make a mutate commander that can be built around in 5 colots.. even if not on the precon itself.

Playgroup depending, there's already a 5C option in the silver-bordered Surgeon General Commander. I'm tinkering with a list, intending to play 5C Mutate a little via webcam games with friends, and will have no other un-cards as the general isn't that "Un" on its own. Then I'll split the deck into BUG Volrath and 5C (Un-shenanigans and complicated rules interaction tribal). That way the BUG list will be playable at any table, and the 5C one only gets played at tables that want a weird game. SGC doesn't work for MTGO, of course.

*ukkima

same here it's a really good deck but there is too many powerful and useful cards being taken out :(

I like that there are trade-offs. Otherwise we get the Edgar Markov problem of there being no reason to run any other vampire commander as Edgar gives all the colors and is just too good.

That's sexist

@@Zach0451 Oh no. Don't let the Eldrazi get me.

The $200 Upgrade is in the article: www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/enhanced-evolution-sultai-mutate-commander-2020-precon-upgrade-20-200-budget-commander

You can.. if you really want to, you can play online with actual cards.

@@Big_Dai That is not anywhere near a reasonable substitute for the real thing

@@Zach0451 For you (and me too, to be fair). But the articles are useful for those that do play online, with friends and audio chat or just with strangers. I have a friend that fully proxied the cycling deck he's got on order. And they'll be useful once paper is an option again. But for now, let them be helpful to others even if you can't use it yourself yet.

The creature you're mutating on to is already on the board and your mutate spell is still just that, a spell, until it resolves. Think of it as an aura until it resolves. Mutating can still be countered.
