Illuna, Apex of Wishes

Gameplan

Cheat huge nonland permanents onto the battlefield by repeatedly mutating Illuna over your non-Human creatures, hitting the trigger to dig until you flip a permanent and put it directly into play for free. You ramp into Illuna, stack cheap mutate fodder, then chain mutate effects (often returning Illuna with bounce or recasting it) to snowball value and close with a fat flying/trampling stack.

Key Cards

• Worldspine Wurm — A perfect whiff-proof top-deck payoff and the kind of giant body Illuna loves to slam for free.
• Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger — Game-warping permanent you'd never want to hardcast but happily flip onto the battlefield.
• Brokkos, Apex of Forever — Mutate partner that recurs from the graveyard, giving you a recastable engine alongside Illuna.
• Pollywog Symbiote — Cheap mutate enabler that draws cards whenever you cast a mutate creature, smoothing the engine.
• Migratory Greathorn — Cheap non-Human ramp body that fixes mana and serves as ideal early mutate fodder.
• Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast — Converts mutate creatures into even bigger permanents, doubling down on the cheat-into-play plan.
• Cyclonic Rift — Premium blue interaction that protects your stacked threat and clears blockers for a lethal swing.

Upgrade Path

Lean into high-density, high-impact nonland permanents so every mutate trigger matters — pack your deck with bombs and few weak permanents, and minimize lands you can afford to skip. Add cheap, recurring mutate fodder (Brokkos, Pollywog Symbiote, Migratory Greathorn) plus ways to bounce or re-cheat Illuna, then round out with blue protection (Heroic Intervention, counterspells) so your stacked threat survives. Top-end ramp like Cultivate, Three Visits, and mana rocks accelerates you to the multi-mutate turns that win.
