Strategy
Tataru Taru is a sneaky political engine that punishes opponents for drawing cards while rewarding you with Treasure tokens. Your gameplan revolves around encouraging opponents to draw extra cards during your turn (via the initial ETB effect and other draw effects you control), then converting those off-turn draws into mana rocks. You're essentially turning card draw into ramp while staying in white's slice of the color pie.
The deck wants to generate value through a mix of card advantage and political plays. You'll run effects that let you draw cards and offer opponents the choice to draw as well—most will accept, triggering Tataru's Secretary ability. Combine this with other sources of forced draw (like Howling Mine effects or group-hug cards) to multiply your Treasure generation. Once you've built up mana, you can pivot into either a control game with board wipes and spot removal, or toward a more aggressive mid-range strategy with efficient threats.
