Muddle, the Ever-Changing

Legendary Creature — Elemental Otter Shapeshifter

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, Muddle becomes a copy of up to one target nonlegendary creature you control until end of turn, except it has myriad. (Whenever it attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token copy that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)

How this commander wants to play

Muddle, the Ever-Changing is all about turning your instant and sorcery spells into explosive board presence through clever copying. Every time you cast a spell, you get to turn Muddle into a copy of one of your creatures—and crucially, it gains myriad, which lets it create attacking copies for each opponent. This means a single spell can multiply your threats across the whole table, turning a modest board state into a combat nightmare.

Your gameplan revolves around filling your deck with cheap cantrips, card draw, and interactive spells that trigger Muddle repeatedly. You'll want a few key creatures that are worth copying—efficient flyers, creatures with evasion, or utility bodies that do something when they enter. Then you chain spells together, watching Muddle copy your best threat over and over, generating tokens that crash into all your opponents at once. It's a tempo-focused strategy that scales from a calm early game into a sudden, overwhelming mid-game assault.
