Mutagen Man, Living Ooze

Mutagen Man is a token factory commander that generates artifact tokens for value and recursion. You're essentially building a sacrifice and +1/+1 counter engine—casting Mutagen Man for varying values of X to flood the board with Mutagen tokens, then activating them to pump your creatures or fuel aristocrats payoffs. The deck wants to lean into cards that reward you for making tokens, sacrificing, and distributing counters across your team. You win by either building a wide board of pumped creatures for combat damage, or by chaining sacrifice triggers into card draw and recursion until you bury opponents in value.

The core gameplan revolves around X being as big as possible early, and repeating Mutagen Man's enter trigger through blink effects or reanimation. Cards that create additional tokens or reduce activation costs multiply your upside dramatically. Since Mutagen tokens are artifacts with sacrifice outlets built in, any aristocrats or sacrifice-themed payoff becomes explosive—think Viscera Seer, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Ashnod's Altar. You can also lean into counter synergies with cards like Hardened Scales or Ozolith to make each pump more impactful.

This is a grind-focused midrange deck that generates incremental advantage and plays the long game. You're rarely going for a sudden one-shot, but rather suffocating opponents with board presence, card advantage, and inevitability.
