This "combo" allows us to build a huge board of massive creatures extremely quickly once we get up to six lands. If you control six or more lands, instead make a token that is a copy of Scute Swarm. Possibly Migratory Greathorn but I have really enjoyed it so far. I think the downside to playing Greathorn is low. The MTG Hero. Scute Swarm doesnt trigger it with tokens. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Wizards of the Coast, Magic: The Gathering, and their logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast LLC. Pouncing Shoreshark bounces a target creature back to its owners hand. 4. But I see too diverse of a field to justify 4 slots for a 5 drop when I dont even think it is our worst matchup.

As far as changes to make to the budget build of the deck, I'm pretty happy with the main deck. When this combo "pops off" it often creates hundreds of creature tokens in one turn. While we can win just by making a big board of mutate creatures and beating our opponent down, the most exciting thing our deck can do is to combo off by mutating onto a Scute Swarm, putting a bunch of lands into play, and making a truly massive board of mutated Scute Swarms all in one lethal turn! $1.96.

Maybe I cut Divide for Lotus Cobra. Season of Growth gives you a truly awesome benefit to your mutate casts. I also cut Scavenging Ooze because it just doesnt have a lot of targets here. I tried using Black instead of White for a while for things like Binding of The Old Gods and sac package stuff but Felidar Retreat just seems too good to pass up when building around Scute Swarm/lands. The crew must win through poison counters this week! Whenever a creature you control mutates, it also gets a +1/+1 counter and you gain 2 life. Giving your commander hexproof is a must along with indestructible. I also spend a lot of time playing best-of-one games for my videos and I dont think I have ever played against it either.
