This list tries to buid a cEDH Gavi deck using Divergent Transformations as the main combo. Furthermore the deck runs some stax-pieces. Gavi's special ability lets us cycle for free, which is why we are not affected by stax (i.e. Blood Moon or Deafening Silence). In extreme we can even cycle Decree of Annihilation and we will probably be the least affected by it.

The combo is simple:

• on your board you need Gavi, Nest Warden and her Dinosaur-cat-token (wtf?)
• cast Divergent Transformations (or Synthetic Destiny)
• exile Gavi, Nest Warden and her dinosaur-cat
• Because we run only two other creatures you will get both Thassa's Oracle and Leveler
• Arrange the stack that the trigger of Leveler will resolve before Thassa's Oracle's
• Win the game

It becomes problematic if the two cards are in the hand and not in the library (because they cost 7 mana in total and the combo is in sorcery-speed). That's why we run Winds of Change and Timetwister to shuffle them back in. Because those cards are "wheel-effects" I also run Windfall, Wheel of Fortune and Narset, Parter of Veils to increase the value and synergy. Because of this card selection a new combo emerge:

LED-Breach

• cast Underworld Breach
• cast Lion's Eye Diamond
• crack LED for 3 red.
• cast Wheel of Fortune from your graveyard
• repeatedly cast and crack Lion's Eye Diamond and Wheel of Fortune
• you win by either casting Thassa's Oracle and Leveler from your graveyard or by casting Angel's Grace and milling everyone with Wheel of Fortune
