Multicolored decks: Best suiteed for decks with a variety or multicolored permanents to activate its double strike.

Scuttling butler sacrifices a powerful but risky package. ITS 4 Power can quickly end games if it gains double strike, but its 1 toughness makes it fragile. The card seems designed for decks that can meet its multicolored condition Easily, rewarding players for a diversified board State.
