The main purpose of this list is to be a 2-headed giant partner. In that respect, this is perhaps the best possible deck. Pair up with a glass cannon combo player, drop an early Derevi and start untapping your friend's permanents. Meanwhile, hold up counterspells for your opponents and make it difficult for them to play via Stasis and tax effects.
As a standalone deck, it is not powerful enough to merit many wins on its own. Dropping tax effects is an easy way to make yourself a target. To that extent, its important that you play politics. Find someone who can help or protect you, then help them by untapping their lands or protecting their interactions. When the time comes, you can lock everyone out of the game with Stasis / Kismet while you slowly win with Commander damage.
Erayo, Soratami Ascendant is banned in 2HG. I suggest Regrowth or Snapcaster Mage In its place. With either of those it'll feel like your running a few more counters without taking up more spots.

There's a 2HG banlist? Would you kindly direct me to it? I'm sure it's probably a google away but I just want to be sure. If what you say is true, I like Regrowth in that spot, thanks for the suggestion!
Interesting that you bring up the Time Walk, I have Temporal Manipulation for abuse in my original Derevi list, but since I'm modifying the list to be a support deck, I really just want Temporal Mastery it for the early Time Walk to give us an edge up. Should note that his deck is pretty quick, and with the boost from Derevi untaps, we're probably aiming for about a turn 5 win on average.

I'm curious about Temporal Mastery, granted the miracle cost is crazy good, but it exiles itself. Temporal Manipulation is more abusable.
