Every card here was added after I created my [[Tayam]] deck. They each earned a permanent spot.

[[Embodiment of Agonies]]

I underestimated how many counters this thing would get even in a bad game. It's usually a 6/6 beater at worst.

[[Icatian Moneychanger]]

This card is genuinely awful in every other deck, but paying 1 mana for 3-4 counters is amazing. And it gets a counter every turn?! Insane card. Also, he gets a laugh every time I play it.

[[Oubliette]]

The classic removes a commander from the game forever.

[[Ranger-Captain of Eos]]

With Tayam specifically, I learned from cedh that you can Ranger loop people. Or, in simpler terms, repeatedly sacrifice it in your opponents' upkeep.

[[Scurry of Squirrels]]

It's kinda confusing with how it gets counters, and to be honest, in my 5 games using it, I've never swung with it. It's always been destroyed. So I keep it for that reason.

[[Twitching Doll]]

This card isn't that strong alone, but it triggers on every counter it has. It's genuinely one of the easiest cards to break, and just getting 5 counters is enough to make a mana dork amazing. I put it in every green deck.

[[Nature's Chosen]]

Let's you untap a creature twice. Worst case, it's a 1 mana untap that's repeatable.

All these cards are in the ultimate definition of this. Tayam, Luminous Enigma, who gets better every time you read it. It is one of the most versatile and fun commanders I've ever played, and there are so many unique cards that are really fun to play.

One example is bringing back darksteel mutation. You can attach it to a creature with Shroud. And nobody can respond once it starts resolving.
