Huntmaster Liger

Mutate's central tension was always that stacking creatures onto one another is a slow, incremental way to build a threat: you spend real mana to make one body better instead of two bodies wider. This design flips that math by making the count of mutations, not the size of the pile, the thing that pays out. Every time this creature mutates, your other creatures get +X/+X where X is how many times it has mutated, so the second mutate hands the rest of your board +2/+2, the third +3/+3, and each additional mutate scales the whole team's boost again. Because the trigger fires only on mutating, going deep means casting more creatures that carry their own mutate cost onto the existing tower, each addition raising the counter that feeds the boost. That structure rewards a build committed to piling everything onto one stack rather than spreading mutate triggers across separate bodies, turning a mechanic that reads as a grindy value engine into an anthem that fires an army-wide combat swing the turn you commit to it. The 3/4 body is deliberately unassuming; the payoff lives in the trigger, and the trigger only pays when you build to abuse it repeatedly. And the tower pays the same insurance premium every mutate stack does: it is a single permanent, so one removal spell sends the whole pile to the graveyard at once, and with it every card you invested in building it.
