This Taigam build really tries to milk every last bit of value from the Taigam's rebound ability. Since Taigam is a slightly expensive commander and you want to be able to cast spells on his first attack step, you want to ramp out with artifacts as quickly as possible. Taigam really hold the whole deck together so you need to protect him to get the attack trigger to happen. You can use Reconnaissance, maze of ith, dolmen gate, shadow rift, trailblazers boots to swing profitably. You are mostly casting your spells in the second main or after the attack is on the stack. A couple of tricks mostly thrown in for flavor is winning with Tunnel Vision. Hinder a spell or proteus staff a creature then tunnel vision an opponent putting them on a one turn clock. You can use dovescape to lock out a board preventing any opponents from casting spells, enchantments or artifacts while you yourself aren't affected by the drawback. Torpor orb, hushing gryf are there to prevent the dovescape from getting blown up by ETB effects.
