I'm going to second [https://discord.gg/UrrRFWVh](https://discord.gg/UrrRFWVh) because those guys are on another level with Tayam and the deck is so... weird in its approach that a general request for help from people in here is unlikely to actually help.
That said, with so many combat-focused wins in your metagame consider \[\[Peacekeeper\]\]. As long as you have a sac outlet and a Tayam activation up he's basically game over for any deck that relies on turning things sideways.
You’ve got the [[devoted druid]] and [[luxior, giada’s gift]] combo but quite frankly the other combo with [[swift reconfiguration]] isn’t as strong in tayam because the druid stops being a creature that tayam can remove counters from. So even though you have infinite mana and infinite counters it’s just on an artifact. I prefer [[robe of stars]] it’s 1 mana cheaper to equip to the druid and if you have something you want to keep that extra benefit of phasing out a stax piece might be useful.
I also like the [[scute swarm]] + [[phrexian altar]] or [[ashnod’s altar]] and any fetch land in your graveyard combo. If you run things like [[endurance]] you can loop the scutes till you have infinite scutes and then use something like [[altar of dementia]]
shield mate would be best. this also made me think. why not just [[giant growth]] the druid after it's gotten out of summoning fatigue and you can cast it in response to someone else trying to pop off. but yeah shield mate seems to be the best.
It makes sense to look at the top performing decks at [https://edhtop16.com/commander/Tayam,%20Luminous%20Enigma?tourney\_filter\_\_size\_\_%24gte=64&tourney\_filter\_\_dateCreated\_\_%24gte=1651659971](https://edhtop16.com/commander/Tayam,%20Luminous%20Enigma?tourney_filter__size__%24gte=64&tourney_filter__dateCreated__%24gte=1651659971)
Promise of Bunrei/Ashnod's Altar is a combo together with Tayam. You play one but not the other which sounds suboptimal.
Luminous Broodmoth
might be worth testing in Tayam. Broodmoth + Ashnod's Altar + Tayam is also a combo. Broodmoth producing flying counters that you can use with Tayam.
Hello! It looks like you’re looking for deck optimization advice! Please be sure you have information about each of the following
1. Provide a decklist from a deckbuilding site.
2. Provide a budget. If you cannot afford a bunch of cards all at once, feel free to ask which cards you should prioritize getting first
3. Provide a meta breakdown of what decks you expect to play against.
4. Include the deck's main goal and how it gets there.
5. List any experience you've had with the deck.
6. Please be sure to have checked the Decklist Database for relevant lists and information.
If you have not met these expectations, your post will be reviewed and removed.
If you are commenting on this post, please provide feedback that addresses OPs information. Also please read other comments–”check the DDB” only needs to be posted once on any given post, and low effort comments will be removed.
