Tiamat Rulings
- Jul 23, 2021 A Dragon card is a card with the creature type Dragon in its type line. A card that has “Dragon” in the name (such as Dragon's Disciple) isn't a Dragon card unless it also has the Dragon creature type.
- Jul 23, 2021 Tiamat's enters-the-battlefield ability will trigger if you cast Tiamat from any zone, not just from your hand. Still thinking command zone over here.
