Legendary Creature — Beast Elemental Dinosaur
Mutate {3}{R/G}{U}{U} (If you cast this spell for its mutate cost, put it over or under target non-Human creature you own. They mutate into the creature on top plus all abilities from under it.) Flying, trample Whenever this creature mutates, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland permanent card. Put that card onto the battlefield or into your hand.
“Mutate-based library tutoring engine that cheats permanents onto the battlefield.”
Illuna is all about the mutate mechanic—you're casting it repeatedly (or mutating other creatures into it) to trigger that exile effect over and over. Each mutate activation lets you hit the top of your library and snag a nonland permanent directly onto the battlefield or into your hand, essentially pseudo-tutoring while growing your board. The deck wants cheap mutate outlets and creatures that play well with being mutated into, since Illuna itself is a solid 6/6 flyer with trample that can close games on its own.
You're leaning into Sultai's toolbox nature—running creatures that synergize with being mutated (like cheap flyers or utility creatures), card-draw engines, and ways to recycle or tutor more mutate triggers. The real win is turning library top-decks into a controlled advantage engine: you're essentially drawing threats at instant speed and cheating them into play. Once you've assembled enough pressure or tutored into your combo pieces, you either smash through with flying trample or pivot into a value grind your opponents can't match.
The deck feels rewarding for players who enjoy synergy and sequencing—you're constantly making small decisions about what to mutate into what, and the variance of library hits keeps games fresh without feeling completely random.

Skip pricey dual lands early; basic islands, forests, and mountains work fine. Replace tutors like Mystical Tutor with Reshape or Drift of Phantasms, and lean on draw like Divination over Dig Through Time.
