My favorite 3 uses for Derevi's ability are Dismiss into Dream, Verity Circle, and Galecaster Colossus (free untaps on offense so you can re-tap on your turn and send them back to hand again lol). That's about as punishing as I ever got with it. I don't understand people who are intentionally making the game less fun for everyone else by using things like hikari, dusk drinker/winter's orb/stasis etc. Locking people out isn't "fun" unless you're a douchebag as far as I'm concerned.
@connorhamilton5707
6 ай бұрын
@@kingofbudokai I think a big part of the issue of locking people out in casual, is that in most cases inexperienced players use it solely to slow down the game. What they really need to be doing is using it like an instant win condition, once they have a solid board state that can just beat down or combo out the remaining opponents. That game ends relatively quickly and everyone can get back to actually playing the game in the next one. The problem with Derevi is that she instantly makes them win conditions, and has the means to set that situation up easily. Put Derevi on the battlefield at the end of the turn before yours when the opponents are tapped out, then play something like Stasis or Winter Orb, and just win with commander damage, two points of damage at a time. It's even more assured if you give Vigilance or Double Strike, or even just have additional creatures to also untap mana to pay for Stasis or forcibly tap an opponent's untapped land every turn.

Derevi is a woman, so I wonder if that would change your "can they get it" evaluation. And yes, she's got several atrociously strong effects. I still love her, and wish that she didn't deserve the hate she normally gets. I just want to play with the bird wizard, getting incremental value and using her for Birthing Pod effects, but her ability to constantly sidestep things like Stasis and Winter Orb while forcing opponents to stay under them means she has the capability to be quite rude, and people rightfully don't want to deal with that in a casual setting.
@TheSkullkid16

Worst part about her ability to tap or untap things is the fact that white has access to a little thing called double strike, which means that each creature can untap itself and then tap something else. White also has access to vigilance, so they don't need to untap themselves and just tap 2 things at once. What's that? You don't have access to boardwide vigilance and double strike? First off I call bull because that stuff is handed out more than presents at a Christmas party, but that's okay because Odric is basically the Oprah Winfrey of Magic, if one of you has an ability, boom! Now you all have that ability for free, you're welcome!
