Tiamat is a 100-card Commander deck led by Tiamat in the five-color color identity. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.
The mainboard runs 25 creatures, 13 instants, 8 sorceries, 8 artifacts, 7 enchantments, 4 planeswalkers, and 35 lands, averaging 4.25 mana value across non-land cards. 42% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 51% cost 5 or more.
Notable inclusions: 14 game changers (e.g. Vampiric Tutor, Worldly Tutor, and Teferi's Protection), 3 alternate win conditions (Hellkite Tyrant, Mechanized Production, and Revel in Riches), 1 extra-turn spell (Time Sieve), 1 free counterspell (Force of Negation), 1 cheap tutor (Diabolic Intent), and 2 tutors (Tiamat and Sarkhan Unbroken). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.
