I just went through your deck real quickly and tried to pick out some cards I thought didn't quite fit with the theme of the deck. Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Liliana's Reaver, Hammer of Ruin, Lobe Lobber, Manriki-Gusari, Mirror Shield, Sharpened Pitchfork, Umbral Mantle, Wolfhunter's Quiver, The equip cost is way to high. Terminate, You shouldn't need this card with all your deathtouch. Inferno Titan, Agent of the Fates,

Here are a couple cards that I think will be some of your best cards in your deck. Shriveling Rot, Thornbite Staff, Magus of the Wheel

I saw a lot of cards that would give creatures first strike or double strike. I don't think you need so many. Try cutting some of them out. Also it might be a better idea to focus a bit more on getting -1/-1 counters on creature for the card draw from you commander. Murderous Redcap would probably be able to drawing a couple cards for you. And you might want to look at the persist ability.

Here is a link to a deck I made that is a death touch tribal kind of idea. It's not perfect but it might help you with some ideas. And the commander might work in the 99 of your deck. https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/they-said-it-would-never-work/

Thanks a bunch for the feedback Profet93 and suggestionNemy_Nem! It's great to get some different viewpoints, especially during this time where I can't play with my usual group!

Soul Shatter is 100% getting added when it's released... mainly because it has fantastic art... but also, it's impossible for it to brick on a token, compared to Liliana's Triumph. Check out Feed the Swarm from Zendikar Rising, some targeted Enchantment/Creature removal in Mono-Black, it's a Sorcery, but hey, you take what you can get!

Shizo, Death's Storehouse and Jet Medallion are out of my price range for now, although I agree that Jet Medallion would be amazing in this deck, especially when chaining spells.

Blast Zone looks really good! I don't know how I missed it, maybe I thought it was a Ratchet Bomb effect, taking too long to get online, but with the ability to charge and detonate it in a couple of turns is great.

Oubliette Is really cool, but my meta has loads of Artifact/Enchantment removal, so i'd rather kill a commander to increase its tax.

Nevinyrral's Disk Looks like a good board wipe that doubles as Artifact/Enchantment removal. It's a bit expensive for me, but it does enough that I can probably justify it. I might swap Deathbringer Regent for it as they fit a similar slot in my deck.

Mind Twist and Syphon Mind look cool, but when i'm up against decks that want their graveyard filled, it might be too much of a risk. Along those lines, Tymaret, Chosen from Death has really over performed in my meta. The lifegain is incidental, but being able to clear graveyards of problematic cards repeatably is fantastic, especially on a cheap creature that often has 6+ toughness, so is a good blocker

I do really like Read the Bones, and extra cheap card draw might help compensate for my low land count. It's a shame it's not an Instant, but I might try swapping it out for Ashling, the Extinguisher for a while!

I'll keep an eye on Agent of the Fates and Memorial to Folly, they have seemed ok in the games i've run them, especially Agent of the Fates, which won me a game by itself last night but ill see how they would compare to an Edict spell or basic Swamp when I draw them from now on!

5dollarMTG thanks for the thoughts, and I'm glad you enjoy the deck! Undying Evil is an interesting suggestion. Could be a nice combat trick. I'll have to try it out. Originally I ran a version that used Big Game Hunter along with Smallpox to control the board more and take advantage of madness, but I think that might be more of a sideboard plan. Royal Assassin was also in at first and does work well with Midnight Charm, but the reason I ended up with Thrill-Kill Assassin is that I found I needed some more reliable attackers that could actually chip in damage and end games.

And in regards to targeting, most of the spells can actually target Agent of the Fates if you don't mind him dying to Nameless Inversion or Dismember or using a mode of Profane Command on him. But Undying Evil is a nice option there too!

These are all great suggestions though that I'll have to experiment with further!

Nice idea - and a very helpful description! I think you're right that Thrill-Kill Assassin could be improved upon - maybe Big Game Hunter or Royal Assassin if you want to stay on budget? I also feel like you could use some more targeted spells if you want you want to lean on Agent of the Fates - maybe something like Undying Evil? That would let you kill a bigger creature with Agent's deathtouch, target it to force another sacrifice, and then return it to the field with a +1/+1 counter.

I stumbled upon an interaction for Mutate that shouldn't be underestimated: Mutate spells target. So they trigger any heroic ability, and they also trigger Gargos, Vicious Watcher.

A kind of cute interaction is Anthousa, Setessan Hero. Animating for example a Cascading Cataracts and then mutating something onto it seems cool.

More fitting heroics in Otrimi's colours include:

Agent of the Fates

Battlefield Thaumaturge

Centaur Battlemaster

Hero of Leina Tower (and some more heroics that get multiple counters)

Mindreaver

Triton Fortune Hunter

Other colours of mutate commanders grant access to other useful heroics.

Yall make some great points. I didnt love Sign in Blood either, but I figured with a couple lifelinkers I could make up for the loss of life. Lure seems like a great idea too, it'll also work well with Agent of the Fates . I'll drop the 4 Sign in Blood and add 2 Lure and 2 Diabolic Edict .
