Rationale
4cmc 3/4 legendary monk. Static: instant/sorcery/dragon spells you control can't be countered. Triggered: if Taigam attacked, instant/sorcery spells cast from hand gain rebound. Premier instant-sorcery engine with built-in counter-protection and card advantage via rebound. Signature in spellslinger and instant-sorcery-matters shells. Risks: conditional on attack (requires creature to connect) and high instant/sorcery density. Anti-ramp-big-mana (4cmc, doesn't accelerate mana).
