I just played against a Derevi commander deck won 2-0. Lost some life in the beginning of both games but Blood Baron+Medomi won me the game. Game 2 I still lost life at the start but used condemn on Derevi and then used Tidal Force to stabilize the board and then swung with him and Medomi for the win. I also used Strionic Resonator to copy Medomi's ability game 2.

This looks like a very fu edh deck to play! Another bonus is that it reminds me of a deck my friend plays.

As for suggestions Magister Sphinx is a good include.

Sorin's Vengeance is good for when they hit 10 life.

I would take out Willbender he is not impactful enough.

Took both pieces of advice. I took out Willbender and replaced it with Sorin's Vengeance. Thanks for the help, like I said I'm still working on it.

I see your running Thada, and acquire... Why not complete the vicious blue cycle and rock Bribery? Also your deck just looks like games end really really quickly :P

Trust me 1v1 games are over in a flash. Bribery would go in the deck, but I just don't have the resources to get one. However it will be high on my wants list and I'll try to get one ASAP. Thanks for the input.

I don't play much 1v1 really but in bigger games Celestial Dawn lets me play all 5 colors and Tradewind Rider helps a lot (my deck is more creature heavy than yours). One thing that works well for me is bouncing an opponents land so i can play it. Tradewind Rider, Capsize, Boomerang, Churning Eddy, Silumgar's Command all help. I would at least look at Silumgar's Command. Does Liliana of the Dark Realms help much when you only have 5 swamps?

+1 for sure, wish i had your land base
