Tim Tam by SassSerenity94

Format: Commander

Commander: Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student // Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Tamiyo, Seasoned Scholar is the deck's real engine: the front face is a cheap evasive attacker that makes Clues and flips on the third draw, while the back provides repeatable spell recursion and an emblem-level draw. The primary plan is to flip Tamiyo early, run out clue/draw engines (Erdwal Illuminator, Forensic Gadgeteer, Lonis, Mystic Remora), and use a huge hand to win with Twenty-Toed Toad, Enter the Infinite into Psychosis Crawler/Jace, or Mechanized Production. The -2 softens combat, the -3 reuses key draw spells, and the -7 almost guarantees a 20-card hand. Secondary beats come from hand-size creatures. The list is built around Tamiyo's back face; there is no separate hidden commander.
