Derevi... a commander so vile, so despicable, so EVIL that black as a color had to cast it out, forcing this Wizard to choose a new third color. Thus the Baneful, Bant, Bird tactician was born.

This deck is a take on Evil Adam's build, from the MTG Muddstah youtube channel. Adam333 as he is known on tappedout.

The focus is on combat and control. Abusing untap effects and winning using either tokens or commander damage with a Cawblade style attack strategy using Derevi.

Win Cons are True Conviction, Luminarch Ascension, Suited up Bird beats, or just sort of "getting there" with draw and value.

Notable includes are...

Rest in Peace - A card i forced in this build and refused to removed when tuning. I built this deck around not using the grave at all, so there is never a time i wont cast it. With Muldrotha being printed, and so many other generala using the grave, RiP is a must.

Shalai, Voice of Plenty - This card is a powerhouse! At first i didnt like the idea of cutting Archangel of Thune for this, but the first game proved why she was the right choice. She is an amazing mana sink, but the added Hexproof to me and other things was a huge headache for my opponents. It prevented my opponent from using Magister's Sphinx to set my life to 10 then killing me.

Sacred Mesa - A card that has grown on me over time. To me, it is the weakest of the token producers, but also, provides the stronger ones. Since the tokens have flying, it’s tougher to deal with them, and they allow draw triggers to happen more often from creature effects such as Toski, or permanents like Costal Piracy.

All in all, it took about a week, but im content with this version for now. Though, tweaking a deck is rarely finished.
