Legendary Creature - Nightmare Beast (M)
Mutate (If you cast this spell for its mutate cost, put it over or under target non_human creature you own. They mutate into the creature on top plus all abilities from under it.)
Trample
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, return target creature card with mutate from your graveyard to your hand.
6/6

You can swing with this on turn 4 without ramp. That's pretty scary, even if the trigger isn't likely to do much at that point.

It also just looks really cute! Definitely wouldn't mind picking up this deck.

Helps counter the nasty card disadvantage of mutation.

The face makes me think of if Toothless was mixed with a raptor. I desperately want to put this onto a Deathtouch Creature or maybe under an Elusive Krasis.

I don't really foresee mutation being that troubled with card disadvantage since so far they're pretty much all potential value engines with etb triggers that have inherent fizzle protection.

I think it is funny that the name and art can be so cute but then it is essentially Charnelhoard Wurm

So if you bounce a creature with multiple mutates do they all come back to your hand or do mutates go to the graveyard?

They’re one permanent. You don’t bounce a creature with multiple mutates, you bounce the permanent made of all those cards. The only time I’m unsure is with Leadership vacuum.

My guess would be it following all the same rules as meld.
