Love this card. Huge fan. Big instant speed permanent recursion guy right here.

This deck looks to slow opponents with light stax while gaining value off of Tayam's ability. It can also turbo out fairly effectively using Ashnod's Altar + Tayam, Luminous Enigma + Any 2 undying/persist creatures or Tayam, Luminous Enigma + Devoted Druid + Any Pump Spell to put every permanent CMC 3 or less onto the battlefield for card:Geralf's Messanger / Blood Artist loops or just win with Witherbloom Apprentice + Chain of Smog. Earthcraft shennanigans are also acceptable.

I have yet to build this deck in paper but it seems really fun, let me know if you have any suggestions! I'm thinking about putting in an artifact stax package with sac outlets that synergize because that'd be filthy but I'm not sure whether that's the direction I want to go or not.
