This is a super fun deck to build because the limitations of the commander force you to use creative cards. You could build pure ETB with Panharmonicon or pure mutate, thanks to the fact that so many mutate abilities take into account how many times something has mutated (but do note that he counts cards in graveyard, and many have repeated creature types). Do note that evoke creatures aren't quite as good as they first appear - both copies will die with evoke, as it copies the modal nature (same with mutate for that matter).

Cards that DON'T WORK with Volo!

• Adrix and Nev, Twincasters
• Doubling Season
• Parallel Lives
• Guardian Project
• Esix, Fractal Bloom

Other strong possibilities:

• Wrap in Vigor
• Helm of the Host
• Ornithopter of Paradise
• Strionic Resonator

The only thing I don't like about it is that the 5 artifacts will be useless if Collector Ouphe hits, which is definitely a non-bo. But I love that Ouphe too much to get rid of him.

If you're wondering what creature-type collisions there are, here is the full frequency list!:

• Beast - 5 (4 mutate)
• Druid - 4
• Avatar - 2
• Bird - 2 (1 mutate)
• Insect - 2
• Illusion - 2
• Serpent - 2
• Centaur - 2
• Snake - 1
• Nymph - 1
• Troll - 1
• Ouphe - 1
• Shaman - 1
• Homunculus - 1
• Human - 1
• Fox - 1
• Thopter - 1
• Wizard - 1
• Ape - 1
• Octopus - 1
• Camel - 1
• Salamander - 1
• Pirate - 1
• Elf - 1
• Dryad - 1
• Naga - 1
• Cleric - 1
• Faerie - 1
• Artificer - 1
• Horse - 1
• Shapeshifter - 1
• Turtle - 1
• Sphinx - 1
• Golem - 1
• Ooze - 1
• Elemental - 1
• Elk - 1
• Horror - 1
• Frog - 1
• Kraken - 1
• Spider - 1
• Whale - 1
• Wurm - 1
• Boar - 1
• Elephant - 1
• Chimera - 1
• Hydra - 1

So basically our "worst" category is beasts, but this is mitigated by the fact that, at least if they're on the field, it's possible for 4 of them to be mutated under something. To mitigate any graveyard collisions, we do have Selesnya Eulogist to help fix (and also make more copies), but unfortunately she is a Druid, which is our second most used type. Other than that though, we have really minimal collisions. And of course, even in the event of a collision, it doesn't mean anything falls apart, it's just that we're not being maximally efficient.

These ones were ones I really liked, but didn't include:

• Faerie Artisans
• Guardian Augmenter
• Sakura-Tribe Elder
