Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Tayam is the abzan installation in the tricolor tarkir budget pod I'm cooking up, and like Volrath also cares about counters, trying to remove them to reanimate some value weenies and put more counters on stuff to remove later. Gaea's Blessing is for if we go super late and accidentally mill ourselves, and basically everything else exists to value-sac, reanimate, or give counters. It's almost a control deck? More of an attrition deck. Exert creatures also work well with Tayam, because her vigilance counters mean they never tap, so exert doesnt apply. Theyre great creatures on-rate because of this, good to reanimate, and banks for counters if higher priority targets get killed.\n"}]}
