Making a budget-ish 5-color mutate with permission from my playgroup to use Surgeon General Commander as my commander. Essentially I want this deck to;

1) Mutate tall onto one creature (preferably a "host" creature) and keep it safe with counterspells and auras

• Undying (Young Wolf) brings back the mutate pile as separate creatures, tokens copy the entire mutate stack (Spawnwrithe), or just having hexproof/indestructible is good

2) Gain value from mutating onto one host creature

• Mutate triggers (copied by Strionic Resonator, and card draw from "whenever you cast a creature spell"

3) Win with value from multiple mutates, or by a surprise Maze's End

Comments are appreciated; thanks!
