How this commander wants to play

Ray Fillet, Man Ray is a flying threat that generates card advantage through a unique +1/+1 counter engine. Each turn you can sacrifice your Mutagen token to pump a creature, then cash in those counters via Ray's activated ability to draw cards. The deck wants to build a board of creatures that benefit from +1/+1 counters—either by generating value when they enter with counters, or by naturally accumulating them over time. You're essentially converting mana and board presence into cards, which fuels further plays.

The core gameplan is midrange beatdown: deploy creatures, grow them with Mutagen tokens and other counter sources, then draw into more threats while chipping in flying damage. You win through commander damage or by going wide with a counters-focused creature suite. Secondary synergies include cards that trigger on counter placement or removal, as well as creatures that reward you for having lots of +1/+1 counters in play.
