A Tasigur, the Golden Fang control deck designed to reuse cheap control spells until one of two game finishing combos can be assembled. Dramatic Reversal with Isochron Scepter with some mana rocks generates infinite mana meaning we can use Tasigur's ability until we draw into either Villainous Wealth or Torment of Hailfire for the win. Additionally Seasons Past along with Time Warp and some arbitrary tutor that does not have a CMC of 5 allows us to take infinite turns and freeze the game entirely. A brief word on the control package is that I am typically not a control player so many of the inclusions may be less than desirable. Primarily, versatility was emphasized. Also, budget restrictions obviously came into play as there is no Mana Drain or Force of Will.

Some less straight forward inclusions and strategies are as follows:

• If one of the two combos are exiled winning the game is still possible by casting a large but entirely fair Villainous Wealth or Torment of Hailfire. Because of this, sufficient land tutors are included to find Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth easily.

• Eldritch Evolution is very important here, as it can be utilized to turn Tasigur, the Golden Fang into Razaketh, the Foulblooded or Nezahal, Primal Tide. The latter is a very good draw and stabilization engine while Razaketh, the Foulblooded can be used to tutor up a winning combo. If not enough creatures are present for tutoring all the pieces necessary, Life/Death turns our lands into any additional cards we need. Just be sure to leave up enough blue sources for counter magic.

• Life from the Loam is a house turning cycle lands such as Barren Moor, Tranquil Thicket and Lonely Sandbar into reusable cantrips along with our commander's ability.

• Aetherflux Reservoir primarily isn't here as a game winning combo piece surprisingly. Many effects in this deck cause us to lose life over time and this is simply the best card to remedy that. It could however represent a method to win if a Seasons Past loop or having access to infinite mana takes place but the finishers themselves are exiled.

• Training Grounds and Seedborn Muse are here because of their direct synergy with Tasigur, the Golden Fang. If they pull their weight enough and Tasigur proves difficult to cast, Thrasios, Triton Hero and even River Hoopoe may be worth an include.
