Neoform

Sorcery

As an additional to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.

Search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost equal to 1 plus the sacrificed creature's converted mana cost, put that card onto the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it, then shuffle your library.

Picked up a Rhystic Study put it in over Manifold Insights. Also getting an Oko, Thief of Crowns, Carpet of Flowers, Neoform, and Eldritch Evolution soon. If anyone is still subscribed here, any recommendations on what to pull for them? Thanks!

I would do Chalice of the Void. Mine is Mirrodin, just fyi. For your Carpet of Flowers, borderless Oko, Thief of Crowns, and Eldritch Evolution. If you had an extra Neoform laying around you wanted to throw on there, I certainly wouldn't complain. Haha

I like the list and setup, but the combination of etb theme and only chord/bridge makes me wonder if you should be trying to land Neoform or similar.

Alternatively you could get a lot from something like Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip just from all the mana floating around.

I feel like you could go all-in on the bridge with Maelstrom Nexus, just throwing stuff on the battlefield until it sticks, but while the 5 mana is ok-ish in this list, the way it needs another card to trigger is not.

This list feels really close to being something, but forcing your opponent to choose between disrupting your combo or your value engine needs those things to intefere with each other less than they mess with your opponent, and I don't think there are quite enough pieces shared between value and combo to do that yet.

If you want to go down the route of untapping mana dorks, Freed from the Real / Pemmin's Aura are nice tech with the aforementioned BloomTender. There's also Incubation Druid who is good becuase she can net produce blue compared with most of the others who have to consume it to untap. I personally run these and Faeburrow Elder in my Thrasios/Tymna list however I am trialling Kenrith, the Returned King instead since he gives haste (the one weaknesss of the mana dork combos). you can use stuff like Crashing Drawbridge however it means slots dedicated to haste enablers (rahter than more generic utility or mre strict definitions of combo enablers).

You can however run all of the untappers with Isochron Scepter/Dramatic Reversal. If you were going to go down this route, I would recommend considering Thras/Tymna or Kenrith though, as one ofhte big strengths of tasigur is having a commander that effectively costs 1 mana that can be Neoformed/Eldritch Evolutioned into a combo piece. If you're just going for the fastest infinite mana combos though, the other commanders will probably give you more support.

Arbor Elf and Voyaging Satyr would go good with land ramping. Throw in a Wild Growth too for good measure. I second the Neoform idea.

You don't have to make Arixmethes a creature to tap it for mana. From Gatherer: "Arixmethes can tap for mana the turn it enters the battlefield as long as it has slumber counters on it. If you can figure out how to untap it, that is." You can still use it as a land which taps for .

I like the Palinchron line personally, and it gets much stronger with Neoform and Eldritch Evolution with Tasigur who in theory costs 1 mana. And I support overalpping combos. But I would recommend you have a play with it and see how you prefer to play. As a side note, I will leave a link to my old Damia deck (which I did an update for post retiring it on paper and it is definitely not budget) however it might give you a bit of a framework for land based combo: Damia Morgendorffer.

Scytec: I glossed over the fact that you weren't running Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal. I saw the deck the other day and was going off my memory of it (since I remember the Pili-Pala combo) however jumbled my memory up of it and then glossed over it today - you'll have to excuse me for that.

In that case, it puts even more stress on the deck as you don't have any redundancy on the comob pieces and are now splitting ramp between mana rocks/dorks (which are generally more efficient ramp pieces) and lands which you need to combo.

If you're going to go down the lands route, unfortunately the best card for it is Palinchron, which isn't exactly budget. Great Whale is much cheaper, but still quite costly. Personally I used to use Peregrine Drake, Palinchron, Deadeye Navigator, Eternal Witness and Ghostly Flicker in my Damia, Sage of Stone deck, however would use Tooth and Nail to play it.

The benefit of Tasigur here is that you can also use cards like Neoform and Eldritch Evolution to turn tasigur into the mana untappers. And Evoltion is great since it can really fetch any of the creature parts.

Either way, I would persoanlly make the call to lean more towards land based combos or rock/dork based combos, but not to split your resources down the middle. You can techincally get some overlap if you went Peregrine Drake + Deadeye Navigator and Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal by adding in Eternal Witness since she can work with navigator and reversal to form a loop. But for me it's about getting that overlap without spending too many card slots.

Hey, interesting strategy on a budget using Saproling tokens from Fugus to trigger Esix.

Sol Ring and Arcane Signet are two budget staple mana rocks for Commander. Sol could replace Commander's Sphere and Arcane could replace Fractal Harness.

Fugus need spore counters to make Saps; more repeatable proliferate from Evolution Sage can help just by playing a land. Landfall also from Tireless Provisioner can trigger Esix just by playing a land. It's ramp with treasures and treasures are tokens.

Neoform is sac any two drop creature to tutor for and cheat Biovisionary onto the battlefield or sac a four drop and tutor for Mycoloth. Scatter the Seeds can create three Sap tokens at one time for Biovisionary + Esix and all creatures as well as creature tokens you control can help to cast Scatter with convoke.

Beast Within, Rapid Hybridization, Pongify are instant removal spells that create a token creature after destroying. They can be used against an opponent or destroy your own permanent to trigger Esix.

Timeless Witness can recur any card; it's a budget creature to make a copy of and when it's in your graveyard you can choose to embalm it to create a token of Witness. Card recursion is one area your deck currently lacks.

---

Some cards to consider cutting:

• Commander's Sphere
• Fractal Harness: four mana to make a 1/1 token and then you have pay more mana to equip it.
• Mold Shambler: is too much mana for what it does and if you copy it you don't get it's enter the battlefield ability because you can't pay kicker when you copy.
• Roalesk, Apex Hybrid: has to die to proliferate and that makes it slow.
• Snakeform
• Mercurial Transformation
• Gaea's Anthem: this small anthem effect isn't going to help much.
• Sporecrown Thallid: this small anthem effect isn't going to help much.
• Rites of Flourishing: helps your opponents more than you especially the turn you play it where you don't get the draw, but then each opponent's next turn they draw two cards.

Good luck with your deck.
