Which Sultai to build?
Commander Deck Help forum

So I rather like but haven't had a deck in those colors for a bit... And want to remedy that. I'm a bit stuck between the following ideas, compelling arguments for one over the others would be appreciated.
Damia, Sage of Stone - I've always liked her and had a good stuff build of her that was just silly. If I build her again it would likely be as a land deck of sorts.
The Mimeoplasm - I've also already built this guy before as a mill deck. It was maybe a little too strong for my table at the time but they've all gotten better since so maybe I won't feel as bad for tearing their decks to pieces and exiling select cards with Mimeo's ETB?
Muldrotha, the Gravetide - nope you guessed wrong, I have not built her yet. She does, however, embody my favorite style of play. The inevitable tide of 'deal with me now' that comes from being able to bring back whatever you want turn after turn. Though I see her get destroyed by grave exile and is perhaps too reliant on her being in play?
Yarok, the Desecrated - new kid on the block and a lot of room to experiment. I think landfall would end up being a big part of the deck but you never know.

I would personally build Damia, with a ramp shell, going for an, “I’d like your spells please.” Style build. Thief of Sanity , Villainous Wealth , and a bunch of cheap artifact that can cycle themselves, like Arcum's Astrolabe and Baleful Strix . Damia would really just be to keep your hand filled for further shenanigans. Lots of graveyard recursion for stuff like your Villainous Wealth, and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver . Early enchantments like Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora for card draw.

All of those are really interesting, though I'd probably go with a Yarok Lands deck: ramp, lands back from graveyard and maybe some big spells (Villainous Wealth but also some fatties with powerful ETBs like Terastodon ). It's an interesting commander and has the ability to pull out some cool value plays. Plus, deathtouch and lifelink are relevant keywords. It has room for experiment and lets you be the unknown threat, at least for a while.

Muldrotha is the best Sultai Commander for me. i recently asked a similar question in this forum not so long ago and it got me convinced to build a Yarok deck, in addition to Muldrotha deck I already have. Yarok, though is pretty spicy, and does things none of the others do and I think it is more versatile and less suscentible to hate, unlike Muldrotha.
Damia is a bit generic - her ability is not that special. The Mimeoplasm is a bit too linear - get ramp, bin big guys, "reanimate them". Personally, I do not like commanders which spell out your gameplan.

You could make in interesting and pair 2 up. Have one as the main then another as the 'secret commander' sort of deal. Yarok and Muldrotha pair up well. Hell, you could even toss Mimeo in there for shiggles.

Muldrotha is just so good if she sticks but you can build the deck so it's not super reliant on having her out just getting tons of value off certain cards. But I suggest yarok

I've got a Muldrotha deck that is basically a good-stuff deck, but I've been tinkering with it here and there. I love playing it.
I've seen a Yarok land-matters build floating around here, abusing landfall triggers. Looks like a load of fun. Put together by themachine9. He could also be done several other ways; he seems very wide open as a Commander.

damia control
mimeo for combos
muldratha grindy
yorak...if only had access to valakult, it be a dream but still good for lands
Whatever archtype you dont already have would prob be the best pick.
