Mindreaver

Creature — Human Wizard

Heroic - Whenever you cast a spell that targets Mindreaver, exile the top three cards of target player's library. {U}{U}, Sacrifice Mindreaver: Counter target spell with the same name as a card exiled with mindreaver.

Unmoored Ego, Raven Guild Master, Mindreaver, Oona, Queen of the Fae, Supreme Inquisitor, there are so many!

For the shuffle, Cosi's Trickster is the only other card I can think of.

You could also run Leyline of the Void to turn your mill effects into exile effects.

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.

Mindreaver is kind of pointless in here since no one will cast cards exiled with Mindreaver since EDH is a singleton format. I would suggest Obelisk of Urd as a replacement since it is tribal anthem and you can cast it with tokens.

I Have some Suggestions:

adding 2x Sigiled Starfish, 3x Triton Shorestalker, and 3x Hopeful Eidolon

Removing 2x Mindreaver, 2-3x Hero of Iroas, 1x Shipbreaker Kraken, 1x Oppressive Rays, 1x Ordeal of Heliod, 1x Gift of Immortality, and 1-2x Daxos of Meletis

also Nimbus Naiad and Observant Alseid could help as well as Favored Hoplite

Note that there isn't really enough room for all my suggestions, so pick and choose the ones you like best

I have a friend who used to run this idea in Standard. He played Bant with Fleecemane Lion as the main beater and Ajani, Mentor of Heroes as the combo engine to produce a long-lasting turn lock. Artisan of Forms was there to copy Sage of Hours or other troublesome creatures on the opponent's side to keep the combo safe. Battlefield Thaumaturge and Mindreaver weren't used, but I bet you could combine Thaumaturge with Solidarity of Heroes to make multiple large Sages at a time. If you want I can try to draft a Modern version of Bant Sage Control.

So I am wanting to build something truly budgety and I noticed to this day no successfull brews have been built with any of he cards below:

Sage of Hours
Battlefield Thaumaturge
Mindreaver
Artisan of Forms

Now back during their standard day people did try varying concepts such as +1/+1 counters + Sage, Artisian playing the role of another "beefy" creature but for the most part those were only "meh" in standard with Thaumaturge seeing a brief spotlight in a WotC article with Aurelia's Fury.

Mindreaver meanwhile has went almost completely unnoticed, and for good reason. You have to sacrifice him! Still I feel like having seen how powerful repeated acivations of Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver have been the the card Mindreaver just might be worth sticking around.

Considering the worlk that Ahsiok can do by removing dangerous burn spells, thereby allowing you to save sometimes stockpile things like Dispell in your hand, I've come to realize that Ashiok is incredibly powerful versus pretty much anything except Abrupt Decay so long as you've kept the board clear.

With Mindreaver the ability is similar, except it's ok to let them have ONE attacker if you are able to keep giving Mindreaver protection from whatever.

Any lists promoting the others would certainly be welcome as well.
