How this commander wants to play

Tiger Shark is a lean, evasive threat that grows while filling your hand. Every time he enters or attacks, you connive—drawing a card and discarding a nonland card to stack a +1/+1 counter on him. The deck wants to abuse these connive triggers to both pump Tiger Shark into a lethal evasion threat and keep your hand full of tools. You'll pair him with anthem effects, unblockable abilities, and ways to trigger connive outside of combat. Since he can't be blocked on demand, you're gunning for fast commander damage while your discard fuels graveyard synergies and threshold effects.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive control finishers; lean into draft chaff creatures with connive or evasion, and use basic Dimir interaction like Counterspell and Fatal Push instead of pricey tutors.
