Start with TiamatTiamat deck questions
What colours can I use in a Tiamat deck?
Tiamat has a five-colour colour identity, so every card in the deck must be white, blue, black, red and green or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.
What are the best cards for Tiamat?
The cards played most often in Tiamat decks include Smaug, Wicked Worm, Draconic Visitor, Desolation of Smaug. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.
How much does a Tiamat deck cost?
The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $88.34 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.
Can I build a Tiamat deck from cards I already own?
Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
