---

This cEDH deck's goal is to control the board states and counter spells until it has the pieces it needs to win. This is a full control package running the best removal and counters. (Excluding some newer removal and counters due to not getting my hands on them yet.)

Deck Goal

The goal of this deck is to simultaneously control the board while putting together win with Isochron Scepter , imprinting Dramatic Reversal for infinite mana, which means infinite activations of Tasigur, the Golden Fang . End the game at this point with a Laboratory Maniac . There are Demonic Consultation and Tainted Pact win lines as well, for those quick, cheeky wins as early as turn 2 or 3. Note that Consultation is much more risky as you cannot stop the exile if you name a card not in the library, so if Lab Man gets removed, it would be disastrous. Having back up to avoid this is essential. Tainted Pact allows you to stop if need be. The best way to pull this combo off is through the resolution of a Veil of Summer

Infinite Mana

What's needed: Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter and one of these: Sol Ring / Mana Crypt / Mana Vault / Grim Monolith and one of these: Birds of Paradise / Dimir Signet / Simic Signet / Chrome Mox ...etcetera.

Winning with Dramatic Scepter Combo

Now that you've assembled infinite mana, sync it in to Tasigur and bring all your non-land cards to your hand. From here, the game is already won. You have infinite recursion, which means infinite counter spells and removal. Cast Laboratory Maniac and a draw spell to win.

The Banana Man

Tasigur, the Golden Fang is the best commander in Sultai (BUG) colors. He has a mana sync that allows situational control and allows him to win the game. His ability is expensive, so in a grindy game, I suggest tutoring a Training Grounds . He is a resilient value engine that can be cast quickly and efficiently. Due to his stance in the meta, you don't see very many people counter him due to how easy it is to get him back out, do note that a Mana Drain still hurts.

Situational Control

Tasigur allows you to recur stuff from your yard to answer problematic spells. He should be used to stop advantage spells, scary permanents, and win conditions. Note that you should be leaving up mana each turn to answer these spells. A greedy play in cEDH can cost you the game.
