Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
Skip your draw step. At the beginning of your upkeep, look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. {B}, {T}, Exile X cards from your graveyard: Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn.
“Self-mill wizard who filters draws and turns your graveyard into removal.”
Taigam, Sidisi's Hand is a self-mill engine that fills your graveyard while filtering your draws. Instead of drawing cards normally, you're stocking your graveyard with fuel every turn—perfect for decks that want creatures and spells in the bin. The gameplan is to lean into graveyard synergies: reanimate threats, trigger flashback spells, fuel delve costs, and use Taigam's pump/removal ability as a bonus way to interact. You're playing a grindy midrange game where your graveyard becomes a second hand.
Taigam shines in decks full of creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects, flashback spells, and reanimation targets. The mill is steady and repeatable, so you'll consistently hit threats to reanimate or cards to cast from the yard. His activated ability gives you a removal outlet that scales with graveyard size, turning all that self-mill into creature removal when you need it. The deck wins by either grinding out value through recurring threats and flashback spells, or assembling a reanimation engine that locks opponents out.

Skip expensive flashback spells like Snapcaster Mage; use budget hits like Murktide and Dragon's Rage Channeler instead, and lean on free reanimation like Animate Dead over Grief.
