{B}{G}{U}Tasigur, the Golden Fang Midrange/Combo {B}{G}{U}

Oppression, opulence, tyranny and control. This deck is a representation & incarnation of one of my favorite MtG creatures Tasigur, the Golden Fang. Power and wealth at all costs.

In my opinion BUG has the best of what MtG has to offer. This deck is designed to deploy sizable threats that provide phenomenal advantages to the pilot. Cards such as Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Consecrated Sphinx, Toxrill, the Corrosive and Koma, Cosmos Serpent are some examples of creatures that are one card value engines and simultaneously reasonably sized bodies. This lends to a midrange strategy where we can pull ahead in resources while pressuring life totals or defending our life in combat. The deck is filled with a plethora of 7 mana value creatures that can be tutored to the battlefield by sacrificing the commander to Eldritch Evolution, Neoform, or Birthing Pod. This, as well as a sizable and diverse ramp package, make deploying threats several turns early a reality in most games. The deck is extremely fun and versatile yet consistent and effective. It is made up of most of my favorite MtG cards.

Why Tasigur?

Tasigur, the Golden Fang has been one of my favorite commanders since he was released and I’ve played him in many builds. For strict power consideration Thrasios/Tevesh Szat is the sultai commander of choice for most. For me, Tasigur has several advantages that stand out:

•Can often be cast for {B} repeatedly

•Provides repeatable card advantage

•Infinite combo outlet

•Source of graveyard recursion

•Sizable power/toughness for combat

•Combos with pod effects as stated above

•And most importantly for me, I have a long history with, and personal fondness for the card.

Tasigur excels at a grindy, political game. Using his activated ability, we can use opponents against each other by having those behind in the game give us resources from the graveyard to slow those ahead.

Winning the game

The most consistent route to victory is the combo finish.

•Palinchron + Phantasmal Image = Infinite colored mana (Must have 7 non-damaging lands and at least 3 that tap for {U} and 1 that taps for {GU}

•Palinchron + Nyxbloom Ancient = Infinite colored mana (Must have 4 non-damaging lands and at least 2 that tap for {U}

•Either of these combos can be tutored to the battlefield with Tooth and Nail.

Once “infinite” mana is created, Cast the commander (need 1 source that taps for {B}) and activate his ability an unlimited number of times. This puts all non land cards from your deck into your hand and allows you to cast non permanent spells (and most permanents by repeatedly removing and replaying) an unlimited number of times by casting the spell and returning it to hand with the commander’s ability. There are a number of ways to win from there including but not limited to:

•Milling all opponents’ decks while reanimating all of their (and my own) creatures and planeswalkers with Breach the Multiverse. You can then give all those creatures haste and unlimited P/T with Finale of Devastation and swing for lethal.

•Repeated casts of Finale of Devastation can place all my creatures on the board with haste and unlimited P/T. An unlimited army of flying 2/2 swans can be created by repeatedly countering one of my own spells with Swan Song as well.

•If combat isn’t an option cast Dauthi Voidwalker & Ashiok, Dream Render prior to milling all opponents with Breach the Multiverse to mill/exile their libraries and graveyards and pass the turn for a mill win. You can also cast any number opponents’ spells/win cons by milling them into Dauthi Voidwalker and then repeatedly playing DV, giving it haste with Finale and sacrificing it to play their cards one by one.

•There are plenty of other options to close out the game as just about any effect in the deck can be looped infinite times with unlimited mana and the commander. For extra security, removing all opponents’ nonland permanents with our many removal spells prior to executing the wincon is great but probably time consuming overkill.

•“Infinite” colorless mana can also be created with Nyxbloom Ancient + Grim Monolith.

I never want any of my decks to rely solely on combo wins so my first resort is to try and close the game through value accumulation and combat without necessarily needing to use the above combos.

Over all it is a fun, dynamic and adaptable deck that I hope you enjoy checking it out.
