Legendary Creature — Lizard Mutant
Whenever a player casts a creature spell, you create a Mutagen token. (It's an artifact with "{1}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. Activate only as a sorcery.")
“Green counter engine fueled by everyone's creature spells.”
Mona Lisa, Ever Adaptable turns every creature spell cast around the table into a resource engine for you. Your deck leverages the Mutagen tokens to pump your own threats while staying engaged even when you're not casting spells—opponents basically give you free counter distribution every turn. The gameplan is to build a creature-heavy deck that benefits from +1/+1 counters, then use those Mutagens to either race opponents with a bigger board or fuel a sacrifice-focused win condition.
You'll want plenty of creatures with built-in synergy: cards that reward counter placement, cards that sacrifice Mutagens for value, or creatures that grow naturally with counters. Green gives you excellent tools for both ramp and payoffs. Play early threats, generate Mutagens from the cascade of creature spells, then pivot into either a wide board of countered creatures or a sacrifice combo finish. Mona Lisa itself is a decent blocker and attacker, but the real power is the consistent token generation that converts table activity into your advantage.
