Upfront Tl;dr - Riku's [RUG] creature-Toolbox and I have done plenty of work at the kitchen table and at LGS's across the DMV for years, but this deck list shall change no more. Kiki-Pod feels dead to me. ~fofdeo [2017-03-19]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ignore even the first sentence of the text below the equals signs, because I wrote that a long time ago and played Riku way longer than Derevi, although me and my Bird Wizard homie have had a good number of run-ins and are trying again until Angus McGee saves me. Anyway, at time of this writing [2017-03-19], I've played a creature-Toolbox Riku with the same basic core for maybe just under 4 years, but idk could be 5, feels like 4.

The only other 3-color general I've played longer is Ghave, who had only a short time taken apart and likely won't leave. However, on this side note, Ghave will be getting some tuning away from consistency losing a few real tutors and gaining 60%-ish back as proxies. Maximum 10 proxies, and I want to try some more combos in Ghave.

Back to this deck... Riku! I like RUG and want to keep those parts together, kinda. Palinchron and some of that supporting cast is going to a Tasigur build coming together, that'll likely include a fair portion of the Green creature Tutors. BUG > RUG isn't a huge change, as much as I want to try Maelstrom Wanderer or a more mid-range Spell-Slinger Riku, in all those years playing creature-Toolbox I haven't ever built a BUG deck. Losing red I want to play Kiki/Twin somewhere, which I've only ever played in Riku and for brief moment when Ghave was disassembled in a Marath build (but that was only 2 weeks or so). Kiki/Twin is going to Alesha, who will be doing some fast graveyard-based creature-combos. This scratches some itches 3-fold: Kiki/Twin has a home, with wide support through white recursion/flicker creatures; Reanimation package is fully employable (my 1st time), which is good cause my BUG Tasigur won't care about it; lastly it's good to stretch in colors even if I still built a fast combo deck.

Tl;dr - this is fun combo deck, but I'm gonna have to probably hang it up for a bit. Will likely drop off front page, if Riku returns, this list will remain unaltered from the time of this writing, any new build will require new inspiration/direction.

========================

I have a problem at the moment researching and building classic commander decks the way I'd want to and not doing anything with my lists. Idk, Riku is a possibility to take over for Derevi.
