In short, according to current rules at the time of this thread, it's possible to put Snapdax "under" an animated object like lavaclaw reaches, to have a 2/2 doublestrike kinda-firebreathing commander, that would be immune to sorcery speed creature removal, and can be activated as the same creature (still known to be commander) for later turns.
While this doesn't seem incredibly powerful, a hard-to-remove double strike commander isn't something to ignore, so now I'm looking to make a deck around this.
Here are some cards I've found that may be playable, some more than others;
There are many other worse options (strictly worse vehicles, cards like Daxos's Torment, useless effects like ghitu encampemnt). Also some of the best cards don't work with mutate (gideon & mutavault being humans).
Being a dega deck the colors we would have to work with, and this somewhat sneaky attack strategy, leans to a low-cmc control heavy deck, full of board wipes & disruption.
If I do some etb hate I could run torpor orb effects and a phyrexian dreadnought for snapdax too, but that seems more like assembling a combo since it needs multiple parts.
I've already started a list but would love to see/hear if anyone else has considered this approach?
