First shot at making Ghave, was inspired by a couple decks from the community.

So here's my problem my current build is too strong against the "casual" edh decks in my area but not strong enough against the more competitive decks ( mostly derevi).

In the more casual games I generally get ganked off the bat which can be fun at times but irritating when I'm doing nothing and still the "biggest threat".

I've considered making the deck more graveyard orientated or just going full competitive and buying all the tutors I need (main reason my deck doesn't perform as well with the more competitive decks).

Any input is welcome thanks.
