It's also worth noting that black gives us access to tons of options for tutoring, but for the sake of variance I've neglected most of these. Given that we're in green, we can easily make tons of mana, and our access to blue and black will give us unparalleled draw power to find Villainous Wealth. Casting Villainous Wealth is the primary goal of this deck too, so having ways to find it is important, and we'll also want to make sure we have lots of mana to cast it for as much as possible. If we're going to be ramping so much anyway, it makes sense that we include other X spells so we can always get the most from our mana. While I love the idea of behind Jeremy's deck, I want my version to have a bit of a wider theme. The deck aims to ramp hard, find Villainous Wealth, and then cast and recast it over and over until you can kill your opponents. In this episode, Jeremy introduces his version of Tasigur that focuses on the card Villainous Wealth.

I've wanted to build around Tasigur for a while, and my deck was inspired by an episode of The Command Zone featuring Jeremy Noell. And come on, you know you're excited to sleeve up Grumag Angler.This week we'll be making a Tasigur, the Golden Fang potluck, and focusing on spells with X in their cost. I'd be curious to know how this build fares against Tron, but barring Tron and Amulet Bloom I can see this deck being very well-positioned in Modern. Meanwhile, Gnaw to the Bone provides a card that burn will usually need two Skullcracks to beat. I'd be surprised if Amulet Bloom wasn't at least one of Tautic's losses, but Abrupt Decay, Murderous Cut and Thoughtseize give this deck a lot of game against the more reasonable combo decks in the format. The deck's general resilience to Abrupt Decay is also not for nothing.

Lingering Souls is strong, but 12 creatures that easily come back from the graveyard presents better longevity.

That's likely Tautic's intention with this build. Arguably the best zombie fish ever printed.Ī lot of the Abzan lists present at the PT were trying very hard to break the Abzan mirror. I had heard buzz about Lotleth Troll, but Tautic had to dig pretty deep to find this zombie to enable his Gravecrawlers. Despite being a totally serviceable draft common, I don't think anybody was expecting to play against a Gurmag Angler in the Modern portion of the PT.
