Meh. I like him. Not as much as the esper general but I like him. Bant flash and it doesn't matter how many times he dies. So more or less he is flash with immunity to the increases in cost for commanders.
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
I think what I like about this bird the most is that she (I think) can be in a deck with tokens and some voltron elements. Control is going to have a hell of a time keeping her locked down, especially if you have sac outlets to drop her and replay her (I like City of Shadows, Martyr's Cause and Miren, the Moaning Well personally).
There are a handful of Commander tournies out here and U/X control decks show up a lot surprisingly. I know I'll probably use her against such decks as she is a more appealing alternative to the mono green Thrunn deck.
a) If this worked, it would work with any commander of 3cmc or less;
b) It doesn't work--Aluren doesn't exempt you from the commander tax;
c) Aluren does not apply to activated abilities such as Derevi's.
Sorry forgot about the tax. However can be fixed with intruder alarm and mana dorks that add up to 4 mana of her colors... Which isn't even that hard considering the colors she is in

I'm really not sure how to feel about Derevi. I feel like interacting the commander tax is weird, but I'm sure I'll get over it after playing with the decks for a bit.
I went to my local Walmart and bought one of each besides the one with Prosh (didn't care too much for that one.) We will playing a lot tonight and tomorrow! Derevi seems like the fun one, imo.
There wasn't a shop within twenty miles that had any in stock today - not that they were sold out, but the WotC distributors in our area suck at their jobs.
Ha, me too...my LGS' shipment was lost. I have to wait til Monday to pick up me decks.
]Another Wizards fanboy wants to glorify everything they do. Why can't you see that the game has gotten nothing but worse since the 1940's? At least in the 1800's we had spells that actually did something. I remember in 1492 when I first opened a pack of Alpha under the dim light of my oil lantern, I was at least inspired to travel to a new undiscovered land.!
Derevi works best in a deck with lots of ways to connect; flying, shadow, etc.
The ability to recast her almost indefinitely was not to be underestimated.
It was really great to be able to cast quite a bit more things than usual thanks to untapping your lands.
That's mean man.
