Deck Description

Really just wanted to abuse the interaction between Taigam, Ojutai Master and Dovescape. I thought if opponents can only cast creature spells, then why not go "Pillowfort" style with the Archangel, Ghostly Prison and Collective Restraint (Which will probably be swapped out for Propaganda). I haven't played this deck much, but it is quickly becoming my "Pet" deck, so I'm trying to make it competitive. I'm looking for suggestions to make it better.

How to Play

The idea is to just get Dovescape out as soon as possible. There are a few really good interactions I've got going on here. Isochron Scepter + Mystical Tutor + Oracles Vault is an awesome way to tutor up whatever I need at instant speed. Starfield of Nyx, and Emeria Shephard help me not only keep Dovescape on the field, but also allow me to put my non-creature spells that are countered by Dovescape into play. I know there are a few cards that should be in here, but I don't have them yet. 2 right off the top of my head that will be high priority adds once I get them will be Enlightened Tutor and Elesh Norn. What are a few other suggestions for this deck to help it be a bit more competitive?

Deck discussion for Taigam Pillowfort

Hey I'm in the middle of buildin a deck around Taigam as well n came across your deck. I like what you have in there so far tho I hav thought of a few cards that might make it better.

First off ur totally right switch Restraint for propaganda since u only hav 2 colors the most theyd hav to pay is 2mana same as propaganda plus its cmc is one less to. Since its pillowfort subtheme mayb try the planes walker dovin baan to deal wit a problem creature that missed gettin countered n if u cn ult him really locks the board.

Also nt sure how reliant u r on Taigam bt if u cn swing wit him all those uncounterable spells gain rebound n go on the stack on ur next turn afta untap n b4 ur draw steps n u choose the order they resolve. That bein said theres a bunch of cards to keep him safe in general and/or when he attacks especially since he doesn't hav to do damage or even follow thru wit the attack such as:

Mother of runes- instant speed protection
Deadeye navigator, eldrazi displacer-instant speed flicker after declaring attack to get his trigger
Maze of ith(land)-pulls him outta combat when he attacks & untaps him
Whispersilk cloak, thassa god of the sea-for unblockable
Steel of godhead-boost by 2/2 n grant lifelink plus unblockable

Also hav u tried the Guile+Dovescape combo same effect like when Taigams on the field bt exiles the spells BUT....if u attacked with Taigam that turn all the spells still gain rebound n still get to b cast from exile nxt turn cuz Guile exiles them bt rebound comes from exile so it still lets u do cast them cuz theres only one exile zone(due to it nt bein stated to b a diff exile zone like with Karn Liberated)

Dang I did not think it was gonna b that long lol bt I hope it helps wit the ur build
