Overview:

This Tasigur, the Golden Fang deck is a Sultai graveyard/combo hybrid leveraging self-mill, recursion engines, and a compact Demonic Consultation/Thassa's Oracle package. While presenting midrange value through dredge mechanics and land recursion, its power stems from cEDH-adjacent combo potential tempered by moderate protection density and some clunky enablers.

Primer:

Core Strategy: The deck operates on two axes:

1. Value Engine: Mill via dredge (Golgari Grave-Troll, Life from the Loam) and permanents (Mesmeric Orb, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant), recovering key pieces with Muldrotha, the Gravetide and Conduit of Worlds. Ramps explosively via land recursion (World Shaper, Splendid Reclamation).
2. Combo Finish: Tutors for Demonic Consultation to exile library for Thassa's Oracle/Laboratory Maniac wins. Backup plans include Villainous Wealth and Bolas's Citadel value.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with early mill (Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder) or combo pieces
• Prioritize lands that enter untapped (shocklands, Ancient Tomb)
• Reject hands without graveyard enablers or mana acceleration

Key Lines:

• T1: Stitcher's Supplier mills 3
• T2: Demonic Consultation naming non-existent card to exile library, cast Thassa's Oracle
• T3-4: Seedborn Muse + Training Grounds enables infinite Tasigur activations to control opponents' answers

Critical Interactions:

• Underrealm Lich + fetchlands: Filters draws while fueling graveyard
• Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth: Enables Nature's Lore to fetch any land
• Boseiju, Who Endures protects combo turns by removing key stax pieces

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Foldsto graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) with only Boseiju/Otawara as answers
• Relies on 0-protection combo pieces (Oracle/Consultation)

Moderate:

• Slow recovery from board wipes (only Living Death as mass recursion)
• Limited stack interaction (only 4 counterspells)

Minor:

• Vulnerable to Drannith Magistrate shutting off commander recursion

Most Important Cards:

• Demonic Consultation
• Thassa's Oracle
• Muldrotha, the Gravetide
• Seedborn Muse
• Training Grounds
• Bolas's Citadel
• Underrealm Lich
• Mesmeric Orb
• Splendid Reclamation
• Cyclonic Rift

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 7/10

• Theoretical T2 win with perfect Consultation/Oracle draw
• Average goldfish win T4-5 via value engines

Resilience: 6/10

• Limited free protection (only Fierce Guardianship)
• Strong graveyard recursion but vulnerable to exile

Consistency: 7/10

• 8 tutors (including land fetches) plus dredge redundancy
• Multiple combo lines (Oracle/LabMan/Citadel)

Interaction: 6/10

• 12 targeted removal/counters (4 instant)
• Heavy reliance on Cyclonic Rift as board reset

Rating Justification:

The deck straddles high-power casual and cEDH-lite with:

• cEDH combo package (T2 potential)
• Precon-level board wipe recovery
• Tiered interaction (S/A/B mix)
• Meta-dependent speed (folds to T1 Dauthi Voidwalker)

Outperforms 7.0 decks via compact wincon but lacks the free interaction (only 1 Fierce Guardianship) and mana positive rocks of 8.0 lists. Comparable to optimized Consultation decks without Tainted Pact redundancy.

Power level: 7.0 - 7.5
