An Army of Clues with Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student
Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student is a great build around commander for any Control deck...but that's not what we're interested in doing! Instead, we're amassing an army of Clues that we can turn into creatures to attack down our opponent's life total!
Schedule – April 2025 and Musings on Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Tarkir: Dragonstorm releases this month and I'm excited to test out a bunch of brews with all these new Dragon cards! First up: Mono Red Dragons with Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant.
