The coloring and position (the whole "frame get out of the way" idea) and text placement don't work. To me, it seems the standard version of the card is perfect! The location of the text ability makes a lot of sense with the Mutation mechanic! Why didn't they keep it for the variants???
On the face of it, a reusable 5 CMC aura that grants trample (and possibly base stats 6/6) isn't too exciting.
On the other hand, the way mutate interacts with commander damage (from what I hear) makes this thing the easiest way to let any randomly huge (non-human) creature you possess deal commander damage (while granting trample) makes this a fascinating voltron commander.
Limited is a different story. This thing will be ridiculous. 6/6 Trample for 5CMC is pretty standard. But, being able to play it over and over in the last stages of the game, this will probably lead to frequent scoops. You can kill a 6/6 only so many times before you run out of answers.
or for how bad both main arts are.
