Strategy
X-23 is a focused Mutant lord that rewards you for playing creatures into an ever-growing army of +1/+1 counter engines. Every time another Mutant enters the battlefield, both that creature and X-23 get a counter, turning your whole squad into threats while your commander grows exponentially. The deck wants to churn out Mutants efficiently—through token generation, cheap creature spells, and reanimation—so you're constantly feeding the counter loop and building a bigger board each turn. You win by swinging with a massive, evasive force, or by leveraging the counter density into aristocrat payoffs (sacrifice outlets that drain, create tokens, or draw cards).
