The Commander
As The Mimeoplasm enters, you may exile two creature cards from graveyards. If you do, it enters as a copy of one of those cards with a number of additional +1/+1 counters on it equal to the power of the other card.
Guide
Gameplan
The Mimeoplasm is a Sultai self-mill and reanimator commander that fills graveyards (yours and opponents'), then enters as a copy of a huge creature buffed by another creature's power, becoming a massive threat or value engine. Early turns ramp and dump cards into graveyards via mill and discard, then deploy the Mimeoplasm as a fatty you can immediately leverage. You win by turning your commander into the right body for the moment—a beater, a combo piece, or an evasive killer.
Strengths
- Eats any graveyard, so opponents' creatures fuel your strategy
- Color identity gives access to the best ramp, tutors, reanimation, and card advantage
- Can recur as different creatures each cast, dodging answers and adapting to the board
- Combos with mass-mill and reanimation packages that are powerful even without the commander
Weaknesses
- Relies on graveyards, so graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Bojuka Bog) shuts it down hard
- Needs setup before The Mimeoplasm becomes impactful, making it slow into fast metas
- High commander tax and removal vulnerability since the copy is still a single creature
- Color-screw and clunky mana from a three-color manabase
Key Cards
- Buried Alive — Tutors three creatures straight to your graveyard to set up the perfect Mimeoplasm copy and counter total.
- Lord of Extinction — Its power equals all cards in graveyards, making it an absurd counter-buff or copy target for one-shot kills.
- Triskelion — Copying it gives infinite damage with the counter package via Mikaeus or pinging removal lines.
- Mikaeus, the Unhallowed — Enables undying combos and makes Triskelion lines lethal, a classic Sultai graveyard combo enabler.
- Altar of Dementia — Mills yourself or opponents for combo fuel and is a sacrifice/win outlet for the deck.
- Eternal Witness — Recurs your best mill and reanimation spells, a workhorse in any Sultai graveyard shell.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana and efficient tutors (Demonic Tutor, Entomb, Jarad's Orders) to assemble combos quicker, and tighten the manabase with duals, fetches, and fixing like Sylvan Library and Mystic Remora for card advantage. Lean into compact two-card combos (Triskelion + Mikaeus) and protect your engine with counterspells and graveyard recursion, while adding interaction like Assassin's Trophy and Cyclonic Rift. To go higher, include free reanimation (Reanimate, Animate Dead) so the deck functions even without the commander on board.

Archetypes
- Reanimator — The commander itself is a reanimation effect, and the shell wants to cheat huge creatures out of graveyards.
- Combo — Copying Triskelion with Mikaeus or pairing mill outlets enables deterministic kills.
- Self-Mill Value — Filling graveyards powers card-power-matters payoffs like Lord of Extinction and Splinterfright.
- Voltron-ish Beatdown — A massively counter-buffed, evasive copy can close games as a single oversized threat.
