Mutate is a keyword ability that will appear in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.[1][2][3] You can mutate a non-Human creature you control to add the mutater's abilities to it.
Mutate was first referred to on the silver-bordered card Surgeon General Commander in Unsanctioned.
Description
Mutate has roots in Bestow and Augment, acting like an ability-granting Aura spell. Whereas Bestow is more expensive due to the creature that remains, Mutate has lower costs and tends to award compounding mutations. It shares Bestow's bonus of allowing a mutator to enter the battlefield in the case of invalid targets, but like Augmented creatures, the entire stack of mutates will change zones together.
The distinctive aspect of Mutate is that the final creature can be the size of either the mutating creature or the creature it targets, which means the battlecruiser magic of multiple Auras is not present.
