I would agree with you if this was a truly control deck, but the idea is that this deck can take the role of control, midrange, or aggro, depending on the matchup.

That being said I believe that they are a great idea in the sideboard, and might switch some stuff out soon.

Thanks!

the evolving wilds I find useful because I don't currently have the fetches and I would like to be able to mantis rider on turn 4 as much as possible. I haven't actually gotten a chance to play with this yet, so I might change it around.

I found a spellskite a few days ago, I've been trying to get some more value creatures, but I don't want to drop a whole lot of money on this in one go, so it'll be a bit slower. if you have any budget options or alternatives then I would love to hear them.

thank you guys for the thought! I have been working on this rigorously for a while, I haven't found the spike feeders yet, and I still need to find some of the stock cards, it's been getting much better. I plan to make this a little bit different than other pod decks, it's been interesting.

this was just some cards that I literally through together, I do plan to go far with this though, so thank you very much for the suggestion! :)

I hadn't though about that... it's also an alternate win con. I like it. thanks!

This is a really amazing deck. I love all of the enter the battlefield effects. maybe a thran dynamo instead of the basalt monolith, having it untap during your untap phase makes a big difference.

definitely going to have a new list of cards for my Derevi now!

it's humble that isn't at instant speed but sticks around forever.

those both seem pretty amazing. I'm definitely going to look for them. the reason that I have mine in here is that I can pretty easily untap it during my turn, then tap it with a derevi trigger so that the opponents can't draw. and if the opponents draw some, I don't really mind much, I try to play casual-ish so that my friends don't hate me. thank you for the suggestions however.

darksteel mutation?

Azami lady of scrolls? seems relatively amazing here.

I wish it were so, but kiora's follower reads "untap another target permanent"

skyshroud claim is better than explosive vegetation. (lands enter untapped) and it's pretty cheap. other than that this looks awesome. nice work.

ummm... green sun's is banned in modern. just letting you know, otherwise this looks awesome.

that would be pretty infuriating... I hope that I never have to play against that... :)

nice job! and thanks for the comment! :)

I really like what you've done here! nice additions! If I had the money I would definitely think about this. :)

the win con is the razortip whip, I am thinking of adding a few however, the problem is that they aren't really any use until I have the combo, which is already pretty hard to get, the scry and draw helps though.

I tried this for a bit, and it ended up just being an extra turn with me waiting to get an isochron scepter, or I didn't even have the sundial, so I opted to go for the extra tutors.

the other final fortunes are named warrior's oath and last chance, and are sorceries and are useless. but I have though about the pacts, they are interesting, but kind of expensive. still very good thoughts though.
