Strategy
Niambi is a tutor on a stick designed to fetch Teferi, Timebender and slide it into your hand immediately. The core gameplan is to play Niambi, grab your Teferi, then untap lands and creatures while generating value on subsequent turns. Since Teferi untaps permanents during combat and on your turn, you're essentially getting extra mana and activations—perfect for fueling card draw, removal, or setting up a late-game combo finish.
The deck rewards you for playing incremental value pieces that benefit from being untapped repeatedly. Think cards that tap for mana, card draw, or effects you want to use multiple times per turn. Blink effects and reanimation spells help you bounce Niambi back for additional tutoring, while artifact mana accelerators and blue card draw ensure you're hitting your land drops and always have options. You'll win through a combination of tempo advantage, card advantage, and eventually commander damage or a combo finish once you've assembled enough untap value.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive duals like Flooded Strand and use Glacial Fortress, Prairie Stream, or even basic lands—the deck doesn't need perfect mana. Replace pricey tutors with Mystical Tutor or Enlightened Tutor as budget alternatives.
