Legendary Creature — Elder Dinosaur
Deathtouch {B}, Reveal this card from your hand: Put a prey counter on target creature. Activate only during your turn. When Tetzimoc enters, destroy each creature your opponents control with a prey counter on it.
“Hand-reveal control finisher that counters threats, then wipes the board.”
Tetzimoc is a powerful control finisher that turns your hand into a removal engine. The core gameplan is to reveal Tetzimoc from your hand multiple times over several turns, placing prey counters on your opponents' creatures, then cast him to wipe the board. This gives you a built-in way to control the early game while setting up a devastating mass removal effect. Since you're telegraphing his arrival, you'll want to protect him with countermagic or evasion once he lands, or lean into reanimation so you can cast him repeatedly from the graveyard.
To maximize Tetzimoc's utility, pair him with cards that fill your graveyard, reanimate him cheaply, or give you extra hand reveals and card draw. Creatures with Deathtouch synergize well since Tetzimoc already has it, and instant-speed removal helps you stabilize while you're counting down to his entrance. The deck wins through commander damage once the board is clear, or by grinding out value with repeatable removal until opponents can't rebuild.

Skip expensive tutors like Vampiric Tutor; use Entomb and Buried Alive as budget reanimation setup, and replace pricey draw spells with Read the Bones or Phyrexian Arena.
