Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck is a Bant combo-engine strategy centered on untap synergies, high-yield mana dorks, and creature-based tutoring. Derevi, Empyrial Tactician serves as an evasive tempo piece and an uncounterable, instant-speed untap engine from the command zone. The deck ramps aggressively using dorks like Bloom Tender, Priest of Titania, and Faeburrow Elder. You leverage repeated untap effects to generate surplus mana, draw through your library with cards like Staff of Domination, Beast Whisperer, or Shorikai, Genesis Engine, and assemble infinite mana loops using Emiel the Blessed or Staff of Domination. Win conditions include decisive combat overruns via Craterhoof Behemoth, Moonshaker Cavalry, or infinite Finale of Devastation.
