Tiamat

Tiamat is a five-color Dragon tutor that wins by assembling the best dragons your deck can offer. When you cast her, you search for up to five different Dragons and put them straight into your hand, giving you massive card advantage and flexibility. This turns your deck into a toolbox where you can fetch whatever you need: a big hasty beater to finish the game, a utility dragon with a relevant ability, or dragons that synergize with your other cards. The deck naturally plays a midrange game, ramping into Tiamat and then leveraging her tutor effect into overwhelming board presence or evasive damage.

Your gameplan revolves around hitting seven mana reliably, then converting that single spell into five fresh dragons in hand. From there, you're either attacking with flying creatures (many dragons do), setting up a devastating next turn, or tutoring for specific dragons that enable a combo finish. Dragons like Atla Palani, Nest Tender can generate tokens, while others like Terror of Mount Velus or Goldspan Dragon provide immediate impact. The five-color mana base is expensive, but Tiamat rewards you so heavily that ramping with mana rocks and dorks feels worthwhile.

Tiamat decks typically run 35–40 playable dragons to maximize the tutor hits. You'll include both efficient early dragons and powerful late-game threats, turning the library search into a genuine menu of options rather than a glorified draw spell.
