a few cards I highly recommend Vedalken AEthermage, Karmic Guide, Reveillark, aura shards, Mirari's Wake, wargate, Oracle of Mul Daya, and lotus cobra. All good cards that help with mana and returning what you need, and or finding it. I typically always use wargate to get birthing pod, as the wizard tribe seems to curve so well, nothing better than hitting glen getting her back, and a awesome 5 drop like prophet then hit glen again for karmic or reveillark. You know because wizards believe in the value train.
To all those saying Azami is the better commander in MP, we can pretend to disagree. Though sadly no azami cant compete with a tuned dervi deck through and through. Why dervi has 2 builds first is stacks which azami literally just folds to stacks, blue cant stop a stacks deck at all without at lucky force. 2nd dervi has about 4 inf combo that prohibit the playing of spells if taken to his peak of just no fun. The green allows you to play prophet and muse, this allows you to have mana for everyone, plus with Voidmage Prodigy it turns into a cycling loop of counter, by sacing dervi then placing him back on board, which btw cant be countered other than by stifle effects. Also with the same idea of using cards like dead-eye, why not play Teferi, venser, dead eye, with prophet or muse. Its not that azami isn't good, drawing cards is amazing but she is to slow to stop dervi who has more search, more ramp, more function. The only upside to azami is mono color, so things like caged sun, and lens become useful, though being mono color quickly screws you when the white player "dervi" can play Iona.
BTW this is not how I play derevi as I hate just about all the mentioned combo as what fun is going ok guys turn 3 you guys cant play spells next game. Their is a fine line between competitive and degenerate, I literally broke my derevi deck apart as it was to consent, and was boring so I ended up taking cards like dead-eye out. As going infinite or taking like 3 extra turns, really isn't that fun for the group, I mean we all came to play. Not watch the blue play gold fish for 20 mins.
Lastly it isn't just my opinion derevi is one of the most broken commanders, he is banned in French edh which is 1v1 along with zur, he is also one of few generals on a watch list by wizards. With the new rule in place they are worried purphoros and derevi will be to powerful.
