<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tayam, Luminous Enigma" href="#" target="_blank">Tayam, Luminous Enigma</a> | art by <a href="https://www.samburley.com/">Sam Burley</a>
Imagine this: You got incredibly hyped for <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tdm#cardlists">Tarkir: Dragonstorm</a>, so you went to prerelease and left with prize packs on top of the bulk from another very nice player! However, it didn't end there... You also host a draft at your house and end up with even more boosters than you expected by the end of it.
One question keeps coming to your mind as that pile of bulk rapidly amasses... "What am I supposed to do with all of these cards?!"
Well, if you're me, you don't have to imagine this, because this is my reality. I currently have way more new singles on my hands than I was prepared for, but I'm not complaining! Since this set is so stacked from the commons up to the mythics, it got me thinking.
Was there a commander from Magic's past that synergizes perfectly some of the core mechanics from this set? Well, the answer to the question turned out to be a resounding yes!
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Enter Tayam, Luminous Enigma</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Tayam, Luminous Enigma"></div></div>
Both the Sultai and Abzan clans have strong counter and graveyard synergies throughout the set. So, with that in mind, there was a commander that stood out among the rest when I was looking for the best headliner for this bulk fest!
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tayam, Luminous Enigma" href="#" target="_blank">Tayam, Luminous Enigma</a> gives us access to three colors as well as a way to utilize both counters and the spells in your graveyard. This allowed me to find plenty of great cards in the main set to build towards a full 99, however we might need a little bit more glue to hold this thing together!
<h3 style="text-align: left;">The Decklist</h3>
As you will see in the list below, there are fourteen cards from other sets that will help the deck become much more well-rounded, plus there's also a list of budget lands that can help fix your mana.
The best part about all of those outside inclusions is the fact that you could pick them up for about $14. On top of that, there's a good chance that you already own a few of those cards, since most of them are staples, or from recent sets!
The main gameplan for this deck is to build counters on your creatures and then cash them in for value with Tayam. New cards with the endure mechanic, like <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fortress Kin-Guard" href="#" target="_blank">Fortress Kin-Guard</a>, help you with building those counters or building up your ranks. Creatures with Renew, such as <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Champion of Dusan" href="#" target="_blank">Champion of Dusan</a>, allow you to exile them from your graveyard to put specific counters onto one of the key pieces on your board.
To assist those mechanics, the deck is filled with payoffs for having counters on your team, or helping you fill your graveyard so that you can recur something even more suited for whatever situation you're in.
So, take a look at the list down below, and then I'll highlight some of the best cards that can help this bulk deck put up a fight at most Commander tables!

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Key Cards from Dragonstorm</h3>
This deck's biggest strength is found in its counter synergies, so prioritizing engine pieces that stack those onto your team will be your main priority. The fact that your commander ensures you get at least one vigilance counter on any creature that enters under your control makes it very pivotal in your gameplan.
A few other cards in the deck that build up your board with counters is <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Warden of the Grove" href="#" target="_blank">Warden of the Grove</a>, <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Barrensteppe Siege" href="#" target="_blank">Barrensteppe Siege</a>, <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Stalwart Successor" href="#" target="_blank">Stalwart Successor</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan" href="#" target="_blank">Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan</a>. After playtesting the deck, I can tell you not to be too precious about your counters as the game goes on.
Since <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tayam, Luminous Enigma" href="#" target="_blank">Tayam, Luminous Enigma</a> can trade three of them in for a permanent in your graveyard, if you find yourself stalling out in the match, pull the trigger and recur a new value piece!
Some more cards from the main set that just hum in this deck are <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hollowmurk Siege" href="#" target="_blank">Hollowmurk Siege</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Yathan Tombguard" href="#" target="_blank">Yathan Tombguard</a>, becoming powerful draw engines when paired with your counter stacked creatures.
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Duty Beyond Death" href="#" target="_blank">Duty Beyond Death</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lightfoot Technique" href="#" target="_blank">Lightfoot Technique</a> act as both protection and fit in with all the other counter makers in your deck.
You even have strong game ending spells like <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Synchronized Charge" href="#" target="_blank">Synchronized Charge</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Revival of the Ancestors" href="#" target="_blank">Revival of the Ancestors</a> to assist with buffing your board for a big alpha strike!
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Great Includes from Outside the Set</h3>
Since most of the cards in the list are from a standard set, it needed a little help with the normal fruits and veggies that every deck needs: ramp, card draw, removal and a few more counter-centric pieces.
While you could still try to make this deck with only cards from <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tdm">Dragonstorm</a>, spending just a little bit more to pick up these fourteen cards will help you have a fighting chance against other bracket 2 Core, and even bracket 3 Upgraded matchups.
To assist with card draw we have <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Diresight" href="#" target="_blank">Diresight</a>, <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Stargaze" href="#" target="_blank">Stargaze</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="High-Society Hunter" href="#" target="_blank">High-Society Hunter</a> which will also help fill your graveyard with more reanimation targets for your commander. <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Return of the Wildspeaker" href="#" target="_blank">Return of the Wildspeaker</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Trash the Town" href="#" target="_blank">Trash the Town</a> can put cards in your hand and/or add some additional punching power to the deck!
Synergistic ramp can be found with cards like <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rishkar, Peema Renegade" href="#" target="_blank">Rishkar, Peema Renegade</a>, <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Song of Freyalise" href="#" target="_blank">Song of Freyalise</a>, <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wall of Roots" href="#" target="_blank">Wall of Roots</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Armored Scrapgorger" href="#" target="_blank">Armored Scrapgorger</a>. In the case of those last two, they will generate mana, as well as counters; which your commander can then remove to bring something back from your graveyard.
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Winding Constrictor" href="#" target="_blank">Winding Constrictor</a> and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Managorger Hydra" href="#" target="_blank">Managorger Hydra</a> are both huge counter-generating engines, which will allow your gameplan to snowball even faster. <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Revitalizing Repast" href="#" target="_blank">Revitalizing Repast</a> acts as more protection for the deck, as well as an additional land drop when you need it.
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cankerbloom" href="#" target="_blank">Cankerbloom</a> doesn't just give you the option to remove an opponent's pesky artifact or enchantment, but it can also proliferate all the counters on your board. Finally, we have <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Damn" href="#" target="_blank">Damn</a> acting as either targeted removal or a boardwipe when it's needed!
On top of those fourteen cards, you'll see I added a list of budget lands to assist you with your fixing, without breaking the bank. Even if you don't want to grab those exact singles, picking up a few solid dual lands will ensure you can cast all the spells you need to in this three-color deck.
<h2>The Wrap Up!</h2>
Well, I hope you enjoyed this trip through your bulk piles as much as I have. <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tdm">Dragonstorm</a>, is an amazing set, and the fact that a huge percentage of this deck comes from the main set is just a testament to that! If you would like to test out the deck for yourself, as well as see the 'maybe' board for more possible includes, you can do that right <a href="https://archidekt.com/decks/12578899/tayam_luminous_enigma_build_a_budget_deck_with_dragonstorm_bulk">here on my Archidekt</a>.

Build a Tayam, Luminous Enigma Deck with Your Dragonstorm Bulk

It's been several weeks since the release of <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tdm">Tarkir: Dragonstorm</a>, and it's already making a huge impact on Commander! From the commons up to the mythic rares, there's already a lot of instant staples in this set. That being said, there are plenty of playable rares that are sitting in the budget range that I want to shine the spotlight on today!
My name is Tyler 'Savesya' Bucks, and I go through your bulk bins so you don't have to. My main goal with the <a href="https://commandersherald.com/the-best-bulk-from-tarkir-dragonstorm-part-1-bulk-up/">Bulk Up</a> series is to show players that they don't have to break the bank to supercharge their decks. Plus, if you've opened a lot of boosters from a recent set, there's a good chance that some of these great bulk rares are sitting in a pile on your kitchen table!
For clarity, I define bulk rares as follows: rares, usually under $1, that often get overlooked during deckbuilding, causing their price to stay in budget building range.
With that out of the way, let's take a look at the list and Bulk Up!
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Bloomvine Regent</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bloomvine Regent"></div></div>
First up, flying in from <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tdm">Tarkir</a>, we have <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bloomvine Regent" href="#" target="_blank">Bloomvine Regent</a>! Three mana to get a basic <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Forest" href="#" target="_blank">Forest</a> into play and another into your hand isn’t too bad of a rate. Even though it doesn’t help you color-fix, like some other land-fetching effects, it makes up for that by also being a five-mana 4/5 flyer that can be a life gain engine in a Dragon deck. In a mono-color or even a two-color deck, this could just be a <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cultivate" href="#" target="_blank">Cultivate</a> with upside!
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients" href="#" target="_blank">Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients</a> is a Dragon commander in Gruul that would take full advantage of both modes from <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bloomvine Regent" href="#" target="_blank">Bloomvine Regent</a>. Dragon decks are already mana-hungry, so any help with ramp is needed, but the fact that Vrondiss creates so many tokens means that you’ll be gaining a whole lot of life. Since both sides of the card works so well with your commander, you’ll never feel bad when you pull this creature off the top of your deck.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Temur Battlecrier</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Temur Battlecrier"></div></div>
In the main set of <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tdm">Dragonstorm</a>, Temur was filled with so many great ‘power matters’ cards, and a perfect example of that is <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Temur Battlecrier" href="#" target="_blank">Temur Battlecrier</a>. At its base level, you will be getting one-mana reduction for each of the spells you cast on your turn (since the Battlecrier has four power itself). If you were to put this in a deck with a high-power commander, or in a deck that makes a lot of buff tokens, you could see your spells costing cheaper and cheaper, making this a supercharged <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Goblin Anarchomancer" href="#" target="_blank">Goblin Anarchomancer</a>!
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Eshki Dragonclaw" href="#" target="_blank">Eshki Dragonclaw</a> is a commander that I am very familiar with, after my list of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN-kDwSpdT0&amp;t=509s">budget Adventure spells</a> to pair with her gained some traction! While playtesting the deck I built around her, I noticed that any little bit of help with mana acceleration is welcomed. Chaining spells together to trigger your commander can get expensive, so with only the Battlecrier and Eshki out, all the spells on your turn will cost two mana less!
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Naga Fleshcrafter</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Naga Fleshcrafter"></div></div>
Clones are always handy to have around, and <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Naga Fleshcrafter" href="#" target="_blank">Naga Fleshcrafter</a> is here with a very interesting take on that type of effect. On the battlefield it can copy any creature on the board for only four mana, that’s on rate for most copying effects.
However, once it’s in your graveyard, you can use that Renew ability to buff a creature, then turn your whole board into a copy of it. If you pair this with popular strategies centered around tokens, evasion, stompy, or really anything ready to have a big combat, you can simply turn your whole board into your best attacker, which could be enough to close out a game!
A commander that works well with graveyard synergies, as well as stealing powerful creatures from your opponents, is <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gyruda, Doom of Depths" href="#" target="_blank">Gyruda, Doom of Depths</a>. When it enters you mill your opponents, then steal the best creature that goes into the graveyard that way. Running this clone in the deck allows you to copy Gyruda, get its enters trigger again, then sacrifice the Fleshcrafter to state-based actions. Now that it’s in your graveyard, you can just Renew it to turn your whole board into the best thing you stole (as long as it’s not legendary!)
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Tip the Scales</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Tip the Scales"></div></div>
<a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/abzan-armor-precon-guide-tarkir-dragonstorm">Coming in from the Abzan precon</a>, we have <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tip the Scales" href="#" target="_blank">Tip the Scales</a>. This new three-mana board wipe hits a similar note as <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Toxic Deluge" href="#" target="_blank">Toxic Deluge</a> by being cheap to cast while also giving you a little bit of control as to what will get swept up. In the case of <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tip the Scales" href="#" target="_blank">Tip the Scales</a>, you're limited to the level of -X/-X you’re able to hit by how large the creature you sacrifice is.
I do think that it could still find a home in decks that reliably have larger creatures since there’s a good chance you would be able to wipe most of your opponents' chump blockers off the board, making way for bigger attacks to come.
Not that it needs anymore help, but <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Korvold, Fae-Cursed King" href="#" target="_blank">Korvold, Fae-Cursed King</a> would benefit from utilizing this new sweeper. Sacrificing a creature to cast this spell will draw you a card and grow your commander, then you'll wipe most of the board all while leaving Korvold safe. Only three mana to change the face of the game in your favor is a nice rate, if you ask me.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Awaken the Honored Dead</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Awaken the Honored Dead"></div></div>
Sorcery-speed removal might not be the most ideal in today’s meta, however I think we should make an exception for <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Awaken the Honored Dead" href="#" target="_blank">Awaken the Honored Dead</a>. Three mana to destroy any nonland permanent on the board, fill your graveyard, and then get something strong back to your hand from your graveyard are all pivotal in the right kind of deck. Even though the last chapter makes you discard a card, there’s plenty of cards that prefer to be in your graveyard, all while you get back exactly what you need for that turn.
A truly unique commander that can be built in so many different ways is <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Xavier Sal, Infested Captain" href="#" target="_blank">Xavier Sal, Infested Captain</a>. If your deck is built around creating tokens and you need more permanents to remove counters from, then this new Saga is here to help. Imagine casting it, destroying something, then using your commander to remove the Saga’s lore counter, populate, and then destroy something all over again. It will surely become your playgroup’s least favorite combo.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Floral Evoker</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Floral Evoker"></div></div>
Another card that assists you with filling your graveyard with creatures, all while ramping you, is <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Floral Evoker" href="#" target="_blank">Floral Evoker</a> <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/the-sultai-arisen-precon-guide-tarkir-dragonstorm">from the Sultai precon</a>. If you have a deck that's constantly throwing cards into the bin, you know that sometimes you'll mill a great land away that you just wish was on your battlefield instead. Similarly, you might also be in a spot where a creature is in your hand, and you just want it in your yard to reanimate. Well, Floral Evoker can help with both of those situations, all while growing whenever a land comes into play under your control.
I have a <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nethroi, Apex of Death" href="#" target="_blank">Nethroi, Apex of Death</a> deck in my collection, and I can tell you from experience that I would prefer that my lands are on the battlefield, and my creatures were in the graveyard. The Evoker assists on both levels, and all for only one mana! Plus, it can become a large threat on the battlefield while still having a smaller power in the graveyard if you need to recur it with Nethroi.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Glacierwood Siege</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Glacierwood Siege"></div></div>
If you happen to be in Simic colors and still need help with graveyard strategies, then <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Glacierwood Siege" href="#" target="_blank">Glacierwood Siege</a> is here to help. Both modes can assist you depending on where you are in your gameplan. Sometimes you need more of your cards to be milled away; in that case you can choose 'Temur'. Other times, your bin is packed full of great lands, and choosing 'Sultai' as you cast this lets you have access to those cards again. If you’re in these colors and thinking about splurging on the expensive staple <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crucible of Worlds" href="#" target="_blank">Crucible of Worlds</a>, pick this bulk rare up instead!
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Flubs, the Fool" href="#" target="_blank">Flubs, the Fool</a> is a deck that can live fast and die young, so spells like this Siege can help offer some life support. As your gameplan continues, you’ll be discarding plenty of cards, and even though your commander lets you play an additional land on your turn, you may end up with no ways to get land drops. For only three mana, you can have a way to play any land you discard along the way not just once, but twice!
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Thunder of Unity</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Thunder of Unity"></div></div>
A lot of aggressive strategies in Commander run into a few issues: little to no cards in hand as well as drawing the ire of the rest of the table as the game goes on. <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thunder of Unity" href="#" target="_blank">Thunder of Unity</a> is here to help give you some more cards in hand, plus it sets you up for two turns of some life gain and drain. Sure, it’s a little telegraphed that one big token-making spell can help turn the match in your favor, but if no one has the means to remove this Saga, you can be set up for a huge swing in the game.
This new Saga is an absolute slam dunk in the Mardu precon, especially if you have <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Zurgo Stormrender" href="#" target="_blank">Zurgo Stormrender</a> at the helm. Slamming down a lot of you threats from your hand just to have this Siege help refill it is nice of course, but if you can pump out a large number of tokens while those last two chapters are active, you can take your opponents down a few pegs. Pairing this with another spell that’s already in the precon like <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grand Crescendo" href="#" target="_blank">Grand Crescendo</a> can be such a huge blowout!
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Winternight Stories</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Winternight Stories"></div></div>
Next up, we have a card that has a similar effect to many other spells we’ve seen before, but <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Winternight Stories" href="#" target="_blank">Winternight Stories</a> brings another twist to the table. Harmonize lets you cast it again from your graveyard, which adds a lot of value to the mix. As we talked about before, throwing a creature into your 'yard can be just what some decks want, turning that downside into upside.
Paired with the right commander, this spell can become its own engine, allowing you to churn through the top cards for your deck, looking for the right piece at the right time.
A commander that I fell head over heels in love with when I first saw it this year was <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hashaton, Scarab&#039;s Fist" href="#" target="_blank">Hashaton, Scarab&#039;s Fist</a>. Decks built around this commander are always looking for ways to discard creatures while not going down with their cards in hand. <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Winternight Stories" href="#" target="_blank">Winternight Stories</a> fits that bill perfectly, all while being able to be cast again from your graveyard. Plus, its harmonize ability costs four generic mana and a blue, which means that the 4/4 Zombie versions of the creatures Hashaton makes can perfectly assist in recasting this spell!
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Revival of the Ancestors</h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Revival of the Ancestors"></div></div>
Closing out the list today is <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Revival of the Ancestors" href="#" target="_blank">Revival of the Ancestors</a>, which can give you board presence and the means to capitalize on it, all in one card. Making three flyers, buffing up to three creatures, and then giving your board trample and lifelink for a big swing can change the game in your favor! Trample is incredible, of course, but that lifelink shouldn't be overlooked since it can make for a big life total swap between you and your foes.
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ghave, Guru of Spores" href="#" target="_blank">Ghave, Guru of Spores</a> is a classic commander that still sees play to this day, and for good reason. Making tokens and building counters are both very popular archetypes, and this new Saga is proof of that. Ghava loves trading in counters for creatures, and vice versa, so having a spell that helps with both sides is incredibly useful in this deck! On top of that, if you already have a big board of modified tokens, this Saga can assist with closing out that game.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Wrap Up!</h2>
Thank you so much for making it to the end of the list! This set is truly incredible, and even these budget rares can pack a big punch.
