Derevi, Empryrial Tactician deck designed to generate tokens and use her ability to untap lands and artifacts creating tonnes of mana.

Originally designed as a Stax/Prison style deck, but it didn't go down to well in my playgroup and with my former friends.

Ramp

Artifacts such as Gilded Lotus and Basalt Monolith can be untapped with Derevi's ability, creating a bunch of mana. This along with ramp such as Cultivate and Kodama's Reach allow me to create a token army as quickly as possible.

Control

Although I have taken a lot of the control centred cards out, the fairer ones I have kept to allow me to manipulate the board a bit as well as making a bunch of tokens. Willbreaker works amazingly with Derevi's ability, allowing me to gain control of a large amount of my opponents creatures. Aura of Silence and the few counterspells slow down my opponents a bit and allow me to counter scary things.

Removal

Thinking of adding a bit more removal however i've included a fair bit. Phyrexian Rebirth fits with the token theme, and allows me to benefit from a boardwipe even if I lose creatures in the process. Fiend Hunter and Oblivion Ring allow me to temporarily remove things that threaten me at the time. Artifact and enchantment removal such as Qasali Pridemage allows me to pump my creatures and act as a static threat for opponents thinking of playing scary artifacts or enchantments.

Tokens

Avenger of Zendikar and Hornet Queen are the big creatures that make a tonne of tokens quickly, and earlier game I have creatures such as Emeria Angel and Hero of Bladehold to pump out tokens reliably from relatively early on. Ant Queen allows me to make as many tokens as I like, mana provided, so any spare mana can be put into this.

Win Cons

The main win condition for this deck is overrunning in some way. Overwhelming Stampede or Beastmaster Ascension can make my creatures huge and trample through my opponents lines. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite can simultaneously pump my creatures and pseudo bordwipe my opponents. Fierce Empath or Mystical Tutor can help me search these win conditions up if I don't draw them.

Deck is still in its infancy so any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks
