Arena Standard - Sultai Mutate BO1 Ramp 1.5

9 2 1 35
36 0 0 24
Midrange

Test Build - 

Goal:
Most mutate decks cannot play normally as there are not enough "good" mutate cards w/o mutate triggers.

Mulligan agressive on the draw for a T2/T3 play.  This deck can do fine as long as you hit T3 Greathorn consistently.

T1 Gilded Gooseimage / Arboreal Grazerimage >T2> Pollywog Symbioteimage / Paradise Druidimage > T3> Migratory Greathornimage >> Auspicious Starriximage cascade into a free End-Raze Forerunnersimage to close out games.

Paradise Druidimage is usually the best early mutate target due to hexproof so make sure not to tap it for early damage.

Deck without both Goose and Grazers leads to many more 5 card mulligans.

Mutate costs (not original casting cost) will not auto-update in the MTGA UI with things like Pollywog Symbioteimage so manually count them. Also, this deck can easily deck out from Auspicious Starriximage

Usually correct to ignore early damage and ramp lands via Migratory Greathornimage mutates over playing Umori, the Collectorimage.  

Illuna, Apex of Wishesimage is like 5th and 6th starrix effect, but really good either first mutate or 3+ (as it guarantee's further mutates to your hand

Pollywog Symbioteimage Difficult to use more than one in play as your handsize will not be able to support it's draw/discard.

Slots that are not required/flexible:

Sea-Dasher Octopusimage - cheap mutate, dodge ECD

Brokkos, Apex of Foreverimage -recursion mutate, trample

Polukranos, Unchainedimage - Solves deck's lack of removal and is better than dirgebat, not sure how many to run

Kaheera, the Orphanguardimage (testing) keep hex proof on druid after mutate

Stonecoil Serpentimage (testing next) 

Notes: With current meta / Mutate cards available any mutate deck must be base green. Deck like others variants struggles aginst control permission or Sacrifice decks. Also lacks cheap removal.

Polukranos, Unchainedimage seems really good  as it won't die when played under a mutate at 0 counters or to bypass Deathtouch.

Umori, the Collectorimage feels hit or miss sometimes, but seems to be the only companion that is currently mutate friendly.

Auspicious Starriximage mutate effect it is much better running basic or pain-lands only, no tapped lands outside of maybe triomes.
