Legendary Creature — Human Monk
Instant, sorcery, and Dragon spells you control can't be countered. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand, if Taigam attacked this turn, that spell gains rebound. (Exile the spell as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost.)
“Double your instants and sorceries with rebound—control the game and attack with tempo.”
Taigam is all about turning your instant and sorcery spells into two-for-one value engines. The core gameplan is to attack with Taigam early, then cast cheap cantrips and removal spells that rebound on your next turn. This means you're essentially doubling your spell impact—a Counterspell becomes two Counterspells, a card draw spell becomes two turns of card advantage. The deck wants to be relatively lean on creatures and heavy on instants and sorceries, using Taigam's body as both a combat clock and a consistent rebound trigger.
You'll lean into control elements early (removal, countermagic, bounce) while Taigam turns those answers into recurring value. Once you're generating consistent card advantage, you pivot toward tempo threats—efficient evasive creatures and Dragons that slip through Taigam's protection. The deck wins through a mixture of commander damage and grinding opponents out with repeatable spells; a single Opt or Brainstorm becomes a two-turn advantage engine that slowly buries opponents in value.

Skip expensive card draw like Jace, the Mind Sculptor and lean on cantrips (Opt, Preordain) and budget removal (Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares); Esper charm and Counterspell's reprints are affordable.
