Derevi EDH

[Coffee Vampire]

Ok so cockatrice isn't working for some reason, so I can't access my derevi build. I'll just try to remember the pod package:

Basically your goal is to create a soft lock with {Hokori, Dust-Drinker} and {Seedborn Muse}/{Prophet of Kruphix}. The most common way is this:
Let's say you cast derevi on turn 2 off of a {Birds of Paradise}.
Cast {Birthing Pod} turn 3. Sac derevi and get venser, shaper savant, bouncing one of an opponent's lands.
Next turn flash derevi in, untapping a land. Swing with venser to untap another land. Pod derevi away again yo get {Hokori, Dust Drinker}. Pass.
Next turn you untap 1 land. You now have:
- {Birds of Paradise}
- 2 untalped lands
- 1 tapped land
- venser
- pod
So go ahead and use birds to pod venser away. Get {Seedborn Muse}. Pass. On your opponent's upkeep, flash in derevi to tap one of their lands. Your opponent should have 2 untapped lands max at this point. You have locked them out.
Next turn pod derevi away and get something scary! You can also pod birds away to get {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben}, {Stoneforge Mystic}, or any good 2 drop!
Remember, Derevi can untap {Birthing Pod}, so sometimes you can even use it twice in one turn!

Thanks for all the help guys! +1s all around

Lots of stuff to add to the tcgplayer order. Also, I should throw my {eternal witness} in there.

Does this happen often

[Coffee Vampire]

Yes. If you get birthing pod, it is extremely easy to get hokori + seedborn out because derevi always costs 4. So you basically ALWAYS have a 3 drop to pod into a 4 drop. It's pretty awesome.

Derevi is 3

[Coffee Vampire]

Which means you get a 4 drop to pod into?

[Ekann1]

Yeah. I meant that you (I think) made a typo and said Derevi cost 4. Anyway, doesn't matter. Thanks for all your help.

Grabbed a {Mirari's Wake} for this at a draft today. Cut the {Conjurers's Closet}.

[Ekann1]

Just bought a {Sensei's Divining Top}, {Birthing Pod}, and {Hokori, Dust Drinker} for this today! Very happy! Now I just need to find my {Eternal Witness}.
