DESCRIPTION
Turn your 100 card deck into a number much higher than that with all the utility possible through Taigam's rebound! Taigam needs to swing out safely in order to gain rebound on any spells cast after he attacks, so a smart strategy is to (hopefully) get Open the Armory early game, swing out at someone safely (hopefully) and then cast it. First, search for Swiftfoot Boots to cast and attach them if able. On the next upkeep, search for Steel of the Godhead and immediately attach it to Taigam. Just like that, Taigam is a 5/6 with unblockable and lifelink! This not only allows Taigam to swing out safely but also will gain you that much life with every swing. Being able to attack someone without worrying about Taigam dying means that you are able to properly utilize Taigam's rebound ability on instants and sorceries you cast. A very fun combo is casting Talent of the Telepath with spell mastery and THEN attacking with Taigam after the spell resolves. This will put Talent of the Telepath into the graveyard instead of on the bench for the rebound trigger. Next, cast Spelltwine targeting Talent of the Telepath and whatever else you desire in an opponent's graveyard. Assuming you had no interference, enough mana on deck and both cards in your hand, you now will have stolen about 5 spells that someone else owns without paying their mana costs!
