This is a Bant tempo-control deck built around Derevi's tap/untap trigger. Evasive and unblockable creatures connect in combat, and each hit lets Derevi tap down blockers, lock opposing permanents, or untap mana and activated-ability creatures. Around that sit flicker effects that reuse enters-the-battlefield removal and value, creature theft, and untap engines that let tap abilities fire more than once per turn cycle. How it wins: Repeated chip damage from fliers and unblockable creatures, with tapped-down defenses, stolen threats and team pumps turning a wide or evasive board into lethal swings. Key roles: - Evasive damage dealers: Flying, horsemanship and unblockable bodies reliably deal combat damage, so Derevi's trigger and their own damage-draw effects go off every turn (Lu Xun, Scholar General, Hada Spy Patrol, Wonder). - Tap and untap engine: Effects that tap opposing blockers and untap friendly permanents. They let creatures attack and still use tap abilities, or let mana rocks and token makers activate again (Murkfiend Liege, Thousand-Year Elixir, Curse of Inertia). - Flicker value: Blink effects reuse enters-the-battlefield triggers such as removal, ramp, lockdown and Derevi's own tap trigger, and they can also temporarily remove opposing blockers or permanents (Roon of the Hidden Realm, Flickerwisp, Conjurer's Closet). - Theft and lockdown: Stealing or swapping the best opposing creatures and freezing others in place turns opponents' threats into attackers or dead weight (Rubinia Soulsinger, Djinn of Infinite Deceits, Dungeon Geists). - Tap-ability creature value: Creatures with tap abilities generate tokens, cards and pings, and they gain extra uses from haste enablers and untap effects (Kazandu Tuskcaller, Azami, Lady of Scrolls, Skyward Eye Prophets). - Attack-reward curses and pumps: Curses and anthems reward attacking a chosen player and grow the team for lethal swings (Curse of Predation, Mirror Entity, Sword of the Paruns).
