The goal for building this deck is to be as competitive as possible, while remaining around $500. I wanted to build around the Boonweaver Giant + Pattern of Rebirth combo featured in most Karador, the Ghost Chieftain lists, but I wanted to try it out in Derevi, Empyrial Tactician.

Fun way to win:

Ashnod's Altar + Karmic Guide + Reveillark and triggering Rishadan Cutpurse ETB repeatedly until opponents sac all their permanents.

Control with pillow fort/stax/hatebears while mana ramping until executing Boonweaver Giant + Pattern of Rebirth combo playing all the creatures from the deck while likely milling(Altar of Dementia)/pinging(Blasting Station) opponents.

All recommendations to help combo off faster or lock down better are welcome. Cards in the Maybe board are considerations for going beyond the budget or cards I may eventually try out.
