Thanks for your help! I've taken out thrumming stone and rest in peace due to the high price. If money weren't an issue I would also include Paradox Engine and Intruder Alarm.

I'm currently playing with the idea of going U/G or W/U/G. With green I have access to Seedborn Muse , Quest for Renewal , and Murkfiend Liege , to name a few. That way I can lean into the untapping theme a bit more and move away from the staxy effects of W/U. That way hopefully drawing less hate than with Augustin lel. Just not sure if that would result in more jank or less jank... Any tips?

As for your cut suggestions: fully agree! Think I'll keep Traumatize just because I like seeing someone put half their deck in the graveyard at once :)

Hello, Hyperghost117. I noticed you run quite alot of Artifact-Ramp instead of Land-Ramp like Cultivate , Rampant Growth etc. Land based ramp is always preferable, since it's much harder to destroy Lands than Artifacts. Something like Harvest Season will fetch you a lot of Lands, because you are going to turn your Merfolk side-ways anyway, either attacking or tapping to draw cards with Kumena. Speaking of tapping. You should consider running more cards that will untap your stuff. Murkfiend Liege is great Card that will untap all your creatures and in addition to that functions as Lord for your Merfolk. I recommend running Quest for Renewal and Seedborn Muse .

The idea of void grafter sounds cool. I've looked at bounty before but I think it's a little slow. The idea of drawing and scrying and ramping as hard as I can and having the ability to draw alot is what I like to achieve and I've actually considered putting Murkfiend Liege back in the deck. Just put It That Betrays in place of Song of the Dryads .

I believe Murkfiend Liege has a identity, so you can't have it in a mono-blue commander deck.

DAabean: Hey thanks for your suggestions and feedback. Since I'm a sucker for pure tribal build I have to unfortunately exclude Bloom Tender from my list as awesome as it is in Derevi. The same goes for Seedborn Muse/Murkfiend Liege which I have been using Quest for Renewal to substitute for. I do like the idea of aphetto alchemist..will be looking more into that combo. I agree that Derevi tends to drive the direction towards the stax side but what can we do? lol. Thanks again!

While not wizards, Bloom Tender and Selvala, Explorer Returned are bonkers with Derevi and untap triggers in general. Aphetto Alchemist and Illusionist's Bracers can also benefit the deck with providing ulimited untaps if you're looking for another wizard-centric combo to add.

Patron Wizard has been a particularly powerful card in my experience. Pairing it with a way to untap it during your opponents' turns a la Seedborn Muse or the lesser used Murkfiend Liege can be potentially game ending, especially with a Winter Orb esque effect out.

I enjoy Derevi Wizard tribal, but my build has gotten a bit too staxy as of late, and I've been questioning why I'm even running Wizards. This is a refreshing take on the archetype and has given me my own ideas on what to change. Keep up the good work!

Murkfiend Liege would work as another Seedborn Muse for the deck.

+1 from me.
