I came across multiple questions about Mutate, and I figured that combining multiple Mutate piles into one single Mutate pile could potentially be quite interesting due to allowing for multiple non-Mutate creatures (and maybe even noncreatures that were creatures at the time of their original Mutate) in the pile. Now, the question is, how would an ability be worded to let that happen?
I’m looking for the wording for one of the following, or both:
- An effect that’s functionally a "Multi-Mutate N", letting you put a creature with it anywhere on, under or in between N creatures. The creatures can be stacked together in any order, but if any of them are Mutate piles, each pile must remain one continuous block (they can’t be reordered or interleaved with other cards in the pile).
- An effect that targets 2 Mutate piles and combines them into one pile, with the same ordering restriction. Should only work for Mutate piles – neither non-Mutate creatures nor Mutate creatures should be targetable if they’re not a pile with 2 or more cards.
Other kinds of effects that interact with Mutate piles (adding or removing cards, or working off of the number of cards in them) might be interesting too, but are probably more of a topic for a separate question.
