Taigam, Sidisi's Hand puts reanimation and hand disruption on a single body — every end step you're either filling your graveyard or stripping an opponent's threat before it resolves. The cost is a five-mana 3/4 with no protection, which means it dies to any stiff breeze and needs a deck built to exploit its triggers the turn it lands.

Commander is where Taigam, Sidisi's Hand actually lives — the repeated end-step trigger compounds over a long game, and the graveyard-filling pairs naturally with reanimator and self-mill strategies that thrive in the format. Legacy and Vintage both allow it, but a five-mana creature with no immediate board impact and no protection gets outpaced before the triggers matter at those power levels. Oathbreaker is legal and could support a graveyard-focused pairing, though the smaller deck size and faster games compress how many times the trigger fires.
