If any of you get the reference in the title - you are my people :)

The Mimeoplasm as a classic voltron commander has always seemed a little boring to me. Winning with him in multiplayer games with 4-5 people is less straightforward and makes Putrefax approaches less useful. Better to try and end the game for everyone so no one is sitting around waiting for the next game to start.

I liked the idea of taking advantage of the +1/+1 counters from Mimeo's ability in unexpected ways. Also wanted to find some other non-traditional wincons either through Mimeo or via other support.

Would appreciate suggestions for any cuts or additions! Am looking to make this able to finish the table but still interactive along the way trying to avoid the simple Mimeo voltron win. Or if you like my take on Mimeo please just let me know and upvote this!.

The deck is currently at 103 cards so I need some cuts. Also my playgroup frowns on tutoring so I have purposely avoided Buried Alive, Survival of the Fittest, Fauna Shaman etc.

Early Game

Build up a strong mana base and a consistent mlll engine or a big mill with Maddening Cacophony. Use removal as needed to deal with specific threats to our board. Early card draw like Windfall, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  along with any counter doubling Innkeeper's Talent, Branching Evolution.

Mid Game

Dig for Hermit Druid through draw engines. This will dump most creatures into the graveyard, especially if other basic lands have been culled via Kodama's Reach,Three Visits to thin the 6 basic lands in this deck. Alternatively, with Necrotic Ooze in hand and a full graveyard, this could win the game even without Mimeo. If needed use recursion to get back finishers like Mortal Combat or Simic Ascendancy. Also can cast Mimeo for any good targets or more card draw Prime Speaker Zegana. I thought about having Helm of the Host in here but not convinced it is worth it.

Win Cons

  1. Using Mimeo to copy Giggling Skitterspike becomes table lethal quickly with any of the high powered creatures like Yargle and Multani and any +1/+1 counter doubler out
  2. Hermit Druid and Mortal Combat - especially if basic lands have been searched for earlier in game
  3. Simic Ascendancy - great synergy with Mimeo itself and the other +1/+1 support in here
  4. Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to sac any large Mimeo creature mashup or a large Lord of Extinction could also finish multiple opponents.
  5. Twenty-Toed Toad - this just seemed hilarious with Mimeo. Cast Mimeo copying the Toad with something high powered for lots of +1/+1 counters. With Runadi, Behemoth Caller out swing for the win!

Note that the classic combo Triskelion + Phyrexian Devourer is stil in here as a backup. Copying Triskelion + high powered creature for +1/+1 counters with Mimeo and of the counter doublers could potentially take out 1-2 opponents as well.

Also Disallow and Louisoix's Sacrifice are specifically in there to deal with Bojuka Bog. We have some other counters for other graveyard hate but my playgroup uses BB all the time.

Any help on finalizing this list would be appreciated!
