The idea of this deck is to manipulate cards with tap abilities by doing damage with unblockable weenies and so triggering Derevi's ability as well as pumping up the unblockables with scary stuff to do damage or gain life.

My best tap ability cards are probably Arcanis the Omnipotent, Captain Sisay and maybe Grimoire of the Dead (which I am still testing).

I also try to use Quietus Spike and Celestial Mantle combined with an unblockable for game changing damage or life-gain and any unblockables with Nature's Will and Bident of Thassa.

I also have a few creatures such as Tromokratis, Phyrexian Colossus and Pathrazer of Ulamog which are unblockable unless a player wants to block with either three or all of his creatures. Unfortunately it hasn't worked out lately in my 1v1 games with my friend (mostly who I play with).

My idea to improve the deck is to add some good armor to equip to the unblockables and a few other tap ability cards in my maybe-board but I don't know if it will be enough or if the concept of my deck isn't sufficient.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
