Legendary Creature — Mutant Ninja Turtle
If one or more tokens would be created under your control, those tokens plus a Mutagen token are created instead. Partner—Character select (You can have two commanders if both have this ability.)
“Blue token doubler that turns modest token spells into an army of Mutagens.”
Donatello is all about turning your token generators into overdrive by creating an extra Mutagen token whenever any token would appear. This turns modest token strategies into explosive growth—a single token spell becomes two tokens, a sacrifice outlet becomes a repeatable value engine, and your board presence snowballs quickly. The deck leans into cheap token creators (especially blue ones like Talrand, Sky Summoner or Mechanized Production effects) and payoff cards that reward you for going wide.
Your game plan is to generate tokens consistently while using Mutagen tokens (and their buddies) as both a clock and a resource. Cards that sacrifice tokens for value—like Viscera Seer or Altar of the Brood—get genuinely absurd since Donatello doubles your sacrifice fodder. You'll often win by attacking with a wide board, but you can also pivot to combo lines with sacrifice outlets or grind opponents out via repeated value. The deck rewards both patience and explosive turns, making it flexible enough to adapt to table dynamics.

Skip expensive blue staples like Force of Will; instead lean on budget token makers (Docent of Perfection, Murmuring Mystic) and sacrifice outlets (Carrion Feeder, Viscera Seer) which do the heavy lifting.
