Derevi deck based around Birthing Pod effects. There are some minor blink/tap/goodstuff themes, I'm okay with the lack of focus as this is really meant to be a 6/10 deck.

From a Reddit thread by a now-deleted author:

Birthing Pod Chain

There are two distinct Pod chains, each of which requires significant mana (7 and 6 respectively, with three and four lands on board respectively) to perform in one turn, but which could be performed over subsequent turns:

A

Sacrifice Derevi to Pod

Tutor Felidar Guardian, flicker Pod, and sacrifice Guardian to Pod

Tutor Karmic Guide, revive Guardian, flicker Guide, revive Derevi, untap Pod, and sacrifice Guide to Pod

Tutor DEN, soulbond with Guard, flicker Guard, flicker Pod, and sacrifice Guardian to Pod

Tutor Drake, soulbond to DEN, untap lands, flicker Drake to generate infinite mana, then flicker DEN, soulbond to Derevi, flicker Derevi, untap Pod, then sacrifice Derevi to fetch any 4cmc creature. Recast Derevi to untap Pod, then sacrifice the 4cmc creature to Pod.

Tutor Mulldrifter, soulbond to DEN, then draw your deck to win via any of the aforementioned wincons

B

Sacrifice Eldrazi Displacer to Pod

Tutor Guardian, flicker Pod, and sacrifice Guardian to Pod

Tutor Guide, revive Displacer, flicker Guide with Displacer, revive Guardian, flicker Pod, and sacrifice Guardian to Pod

Tutor Drake, flicker Drake with Displacer to generate infinite mana, flicker Guide to revive Guardian, flicker Pod, then sacrifice a creature to get Drifter to draw deck, use Derevi to perma-tap all enemy permanents and start swinging.

Very happy with how this deck is coming together, but I'm worried that it might become too strong for my meta. I'm thinking about removing the infinite combo to just slot in some pure blink/tap value engines instead. Then again, all of the pieces by themselves are fairly strong blink effects as well. Thoughts? Then again, maybe Time Warp deserves a spot...
