STD - Stasis Tax Derevi

Looking to slow things down, gain mana advantage, slowly chip away life totals, and lock up the game. Use a variety of Stax pieces targeting the vast majority of decks and going after mana costs.

Goal is to make heavy use of cards by trying to get more out of a card than one simple usage. Best example is Counterspell vs Counterbalance. Other examples: Tutor to Hand/field (Eladamri's Call) vs Tutor to top of deck (Worldly Tutor)

Similarly, desire is to get more use of cards against all players. Aura of Silence hits all players vs. a single use removal. Other examples: Oko, Aura Shards, Asymmetric Hate, etc.

Bad Matchups

Korvold, Board Wipe Heavy Decks (4c Curiosity Control, Opus), Heavy Dork Decks possibly
